“I am a 60-year-old returning rider, and at Kevin’s recommendation, I took the MSF course, although already licensed to ride. The knowledge that I gained from that course with other like-minded people has transcended over to my supporting MC Rider, and being a part of a unique opportunity to learn from riders around the world!”

Thanks Kevin, once again an outstanding video! I pray the Lord continues to bless you and this channel!

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!

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.

Hey Kevin. Just letting you know I’ve been watching and practicing your videos for 2 years. You saved my butt last night man. Typical story. Big deer just standing in road, 45 mph, emergency braking, started skidding, balance of front and rear brakes and allow bike to do what it does to come to controlled slow. Keep it up sir. You’ll never know how many lives you saved because the wreck never happened.

Returning to motorcycling after a two decade hiatus, I didn’t even know the right questions to ask. As I immersed myself in my new owners manual, I had more questions. MCRider has established itself as the go-to web site for the developing rider in all of us. The first, most important lesson I learned from everyone is their desire for my success. In a world where too many are seeking another’s failure, failure on two wheels is a failure of the teacher AND the student. Every members thoughts an opinions are oriented towards success and safety for each other. Here I found the confidence to put my leg over a GoldWing and succeed in taming a potentially wild horse into an extension of my desire to ride well and see everyone on the road, wherever they may be. For now, I learn. Soon, I shall be the teacher because of MCRider.

I am a returning rider after twenty years. As I discovered MCRider, wisdom began to wash over me very quickly. I was truly amazed at how quickly I began to learn and refine my rider skills to become a rider that was not only safer, but better. The forum is a gold mine of discussion with intelligent conversation and no distasteful garbage. Tying that together with access to the Field Guide to help practice the skills I learn about; I have found that my MCRider membership is paying dividends in my motorcycle happy factor!

Congratulations Kevin! I know I enjoy every episode of MCrider. I am glad you started these videos, because you probably saved a lot of rider's from a lifetime of pain & suffering & for that you are to be commended. You are a natural Kevin!

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