The most important skill for…

Feb22018

Learning to ride a motorcycle on your own or with the help of a few well-intentioned friends can be a nightmare. This week I give you 1 exercise that every new rider should master. Clutch and throttle control is one of the fundamental skills that every new rider needs to develop. This exercise will help you develop that skill in a safe manner.

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!

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!

I am 73, and have been riding for 60 yrs. Being a part of this group allows me to continue learning safety and developing the skills to continue riding. Thank you for everyone sharing your experience and especially Kevin for providing a platform for all of us to share.

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.

“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.

Richie, Sandpoint, Idaho

Hello from Melbourne Australia. Thanks for your videos. As an inexperienced rider, your advice is fantastic. Please keep up the good work.
