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

As always…. learning something new every time I watch. Great job Kevin!!! 👍👍

Your videos have guided me before, and since I started riding just about one year ago, I constantly think about your words of wisdom while riding.

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!

Thank you Kevin for all that you do on your channel. Your videos are an inspiration and have helped me become a better rider. God Bless!

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!

“This is the best community and repository of motorcycle skills and safety to be found. Pretty sure I am still enjoying the ride because of lessons learned here, and practice applied.”

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.
