What can we learn from…

May42018

This week on MCrider let's look at a Patron submitted video and see what we can learn from his recent motorcycle incident.

Category: Road StrategyBy MCrider May 4, 2018

The weekly videos, field guide, and forums are a tool that has value far beyond the cost of admission. In MCrider, I have found encouragement, practical and easy-to-follow tips, and mentorship to pursue excellence in developing sharper road skills and road strategy to take full ownership of my safety while on two wheels. Thank you, Kevin, for the most valuable resource available to motorcyclists on the web!

The first year I had my Harley I dropped it two times when stopping at an intersection. You pointed out that I was turning the handlebars and hitting the front brake and after practicing your stop and go technics I no longer have trouble in that area. I also have used the brake and escape technic when confronted with a pick-up truck pulling a trailer pulled out in front of me and through practicing in a parking lot, it just became second nature and I avoided what could have been a really bad situation! Thanks for all the great knowledge and I will be watching anything that you will be putting on YouTube! I know that I have a long way to go but I am definitely a better rider since I began to do your drills!

Good Job Kevin always learn something from you and your hard work to keep us safe

Your channel should be mandatory training for car drivers, not just riders.

Congrats from Brasil! Love your channel my friend, keep doing!

Really appreciate you!!! I’m 53, about to start 3rd season of riding… Your guidance rings clear and true in every video. Feeling grateful.

Many thanks, as a newly qualified rider I really enjoy watching your videos. Even though I'm from the other side of the pond (Yorkshire, UK) your advice is just as useful over here.

After a 35 year hiatus, I decided to return to riding motorcycles. Internet searches for instructional material provided a vast array of choices for my questions. MCRider was one that coming up with lessons for the topics I was interested in. The videos on YouTube were extremely helpful in rebuilding my confidence and skill level. I was aware there was a forum for quite some time before joining and am glad I took the plunge. The depth of knowledge from the membership, as well as the willingness to answer questions and offer guidance cannot be overstated. I purchased some practice cones and used the Field Guide exercises to hone my riding skills and my practice sessions are now something I look forward to.

Perhaps the most beneficial parts of the forum are the discussions pertaining to safe riding and rider awareness. One of the forum members made a comment to the effect of ” A superior rider uses his superior judgment to avoid situations which require the use of his superior skill.” That statement stays in the forefront of my mind and I believe it helps make me a better/safer rider. I am much more aware of the potential dangers due to reading the discussions on the forum and it has helped increase my enjoyment of being on 2 wheels again.

The “MCrider-Experience” is a motorcyclist’s dream come true…

I like to call it the Double “A” and the Triple “F” way to learn…

Double “A” being “Advice & Answers” for all levels of motorcyclist’s…

And the infamous Triple “F” which MCrider owns alone on the internet… (nice one Kevin)

The “Forums”… The “Field-Guide”… and The “Friday Video’s”… aka… The Triple “F” Strategy…

The “Forums” give you (the rider), and your situation, a voice to be heard and you are co-joined by many others with like-minded concerns/observations in a most congenial environment like nothing I have seen online… advice and answers are abounding here and given without reserve…

The “Field-Guide” is your pocket pen protector you can take to your parking-lot practice sessions to assist you with your “practice with a purpose” skill and strategy continual learning endeavors…

Saved the best for last…

The “Friday Videos” produced and directed by Kevin Morris, are the best of the best topics an aspiring or a veteran motorcyclist can hope for… they are on point… easy to understand… pleasant to watch (Kevin is personality plus)… very informative… always enjoyable and something I have treasured for the past 2.5 years… certainly makes my Friday a special treat-day and always entertaining…

Combine the Triple “F” Strategy with the Double “A” Salsa and you have what we call here in southwestern USA…

“The whole Enchilada” – Amigos and Amigas…

The “MCrider Experience” is quite simply the best you will find anywhere for your motorcycling lifelong-learning enjoyment and has the best people/riders from around the world participating…

I currently have 911 consecutive days here at the MCrider Experience and the good Lord willing will have another 911 (cool number) as we move forward under Kevin’s tutelage…

I can honestly attest to the FACT that MCrider has changed my life for the better in so many ways…

Thanks Kevin… You da Man Dude…

I’ve been riding for 50 years and I’m still learning, there’s always something to learn.
