Hello from Melbourne Australia. Thanks for your videos. As an inexperienced rider, your advice is fantastic. Please keep up the good work.

The MCrider forums are the best online resource I’ve found on the web. Becoming a motorcyclist is a lifetime of learning and it is great to have a place to find the right help with taking next steps. There are those times along that journey where we need to go back to review basics. MCrider is there in both cases. Whether we are a beginner, highly experienced, or anywhere in between, we have found the right place, to be both enriched, and to add to others’ lives.

Yes Kevin has saved me, If there is one thing that I have learned it is this, The carpark is the place to learn, almost everything, I used to think that it was normal to duck walk, (sometimes) for example as it was (and still is a common sight, I had huge problems mastering tight U-turns, in fact never thought I could master it, until one day it all came together, So for me, the 1 thing is that it is essential to practice in the carpark, with the right techniques until te maneuvers are muscle memory

This is the first videos I’ve seen from him. As an accomplished law enforcement motor instructor, he knows what he’s talking about. I would refer people to his page.

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…

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!
