How to trail brake on…

Jun212019

This week we explore the topic of trail braking in a little more detail and I show you a practice session of me using trail braking on a parking lot on my 2018 Honda Goldwing DCT.

“MCrider is simply the best online resource for motorcyclists striving for excellence in their riding skills and strategy. The forum community has depth and diversity of experience that expresses humility and wisdom not often found on the internet. I often refer to MCrider training concepts with my own students.”

These are great techniques! Thanks for saving our lives Kevin!

Just checked out the new site, and love it Kevin! Your YouTube training videos have probably helped this 67 yr old rider from killing himself a few times. Keep up the great work!!

LOVE the new site Kevin. As a new (returning) rider and IT guy, it is MUCH appreciated, especially the mobile optimization. That is so important these days and perfect for parking lot training. BEST DAMN MOTORCYCLE CONTENT ON YOUTUBE!

Thanks Kevin, once again an outstanding video! I pray the Lord continues to bless you and this channel!

I am extremely grateful for your channel. I got my first bike two years ago at 36 years old and started watching your channel even before buying it to begin preparing. Your tips and techniques have been invaluable to my riding development and I’m still watching and reviewing them quite regularly. I appreciate your calm, conservative style and approach to riding. Your perspective in this video is very needed. Keep up the excellent work. God bless!

MCRider will change and possibly save your motorcycling life.

After a 15 yr break I decided to get back into riding, I’d never had formal instruction (dirt bikes as a kid) and it showed when I rode with my wife, who I had insisted get training. She was more technically proficient than I was because she had only learned the right way. I started watching videos and some were good some weren’t but when I found Kevin’s MCRider videos I knew I’d found the series of instruction I needed.

Within a few weeks of practicing skills from his YouTube channel, I decided I really wanted to support what he was doing and I became a Member of MC Rider and that unlocked a whole additional resource. If you're looking to improve your motorcycling skills in an extremely supportive community, you found the place.

Kevin, I came to your channel 18 months into McRider being live and was hooked immediately. All the safety tips and the way you explained the techniques, along with miles and miles of practice, help me go from a novice rider on Feb 2018 to a Ridercoach Candidate just a year later. You were one of the reasons I became a motorcycle trainer, and have to confess, I've used some of your tips on my classes from time to time. Congratulations and see you on the road!

I started riding late in life, partly because I found MCrider. MCrider is loaded with videos and training tips to improve your riding.
Kevin’s clear and concise teaching style provides the tools and understanding on so many biking topics – he and the other riders are a wealth of information. The forum has been a great place to find other riders talking about any motorcycle topic under the sun. If you have motorcycle riding questions – MCrider is a great place to be!
