I’ve been riding on and off for most of my 64 years. After being away for the last 10 years I found a used cruiser for sale and started doing research on the internet for accessories and other parts. The YouTube algorithm brought me to MCRider and I’ve been immersed ever since – finally becoming a member just a few days ago.

I’ve never met a more open and welcoming community! The depth and breadth of knowledge is amazing. The instructions are clear, concise, and to the point. Support and answers to your questions are at your fingertips.

If you’re considering joining the community don’t hesitate. You can spend a little now to avoid spending a lot later. As they say – an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Kevin’s videos and sage advise is very helpful and reinforces the right things to do and what not to do. I especially like his way of teaching, a little laid back but always worth listening to. Like he says, the most important “nut on the bike is the one attached to the handle bars”, be sure it’s on tight and right.

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!

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.

This winter my wife purchased me a newer to me bike, she knew I just never really enjoyed the touring bike especially when we were both on it. She mentioned if I would get her a bike she would love to learn to ride. So we purchased her a bike. I told her she had to take the MSF basic course. I wanted her to have a head start before we got to class end of June. The field guide has been the perfect tool we had spent about 4 hours in parking lot before I couldn’t contain her anymore and she wanted on street. Thank you again for the field guide it has improved my riding and helped her get a great start. We have a cool routine where we do some parking lot field guide maneuvers and then do a ride. Thanks for all you do Kevin.
