I am extremely grateful for your channel. I got my first bike two years ago at 36 years old and started watching your channel even before buying it to begin preparing. Your tips and techniques have been invaluable to my riding development and I’m still watching and reviewing them quite regularly. I appreciate your calm, conservative style and approach to riding. Your perspective in this video is very needed. Keep up the excellent work. God bless!

I started riding late in life, partly because I found MCrider. MCrider is loaded with videos and training tips to improve your riding.
Kevin’s clear and concise teaching style provides the tools and understanding on so many biking topics – he and the other riders are a wealth of information. The forum has been a great place to find other riders talking about any motorcycle topic under the sun. If you have motorcycle riding questions – MCrider is a great place to be!

“MCRider is my go-to platform to continue mastering the art and craft of riding. His focus on skills and strategy, both mental and physical, will benefit anyone, from those just starting out on their first ride to those with miles under their feet.

LOVE the new site Kevin. As a new (returning) rider and IT guy, it is MUCH appreciated, especially the mobile optimization. That is so important these days and perfect for parking lot training. BEST DAMN MOTORCYCLE CONTENT ON YOUTUBE!

Fantastic and really helpful video. Thanks for taking the time to film and share.

I am a new and old (66) rider. The MCrider videos, forums, and field guide have taught me so much about what I need to know to ride safely. And how to use that knowledge to practice and develop my skills.

The Forums include invaluable practical comments from both riding instructors and long-time riders.

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!

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.
