I thought we would have some fun this week on MCrider as I share some obscure motorcycle knowledge with you.

What is the most expensive motorcycle?
Where did the term motorcycle come from?
How far is the longest motorcycle road trip in history?

We will learn all that and more this week on MCrider.

“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.”

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!!

You provide well-made videos, instruction, and strategies for us all to become great and safe riders. I have been riding street bikes since 1978 and I enjoy your videos and I just keep on learning from you, thanks!

I enjoyed your videos for a while now, and this has probably unknowingly saved me from riding hickups. and maybe more. When I ride now, Kevin is constantly on the back seat. Turn your head in the direction you want to go. Leave more space with the car in front of you, move to the right to see ahead of the traffic… as I have free loaded the video for a while, I have decided to become a patron. the $5 a month won't make any difference to my bank balance but might well save my life. If you enjoyed Kevin ‘s video and think they are contributing to your better riding skill. join as well. This is now his job and we should financially appreciate it and keep it going. See you all on the road.

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.

I have been an MCRider subscriber and member for about two years. I was a returning rider and just purchased a used Harley Davidson Street Glide. When I came across the MCRider videos on YouTube. Your video instructions and lessons have made me a better rider and a safer rider!

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

“Safety, skills, and strategy are never-ending learning experiences. Keep your knowledge up and rubber side down with us.”

Todd, Atlanta, GA

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!

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.
