Thank you so much from Germany Kevin. You made my rides much safer!

Silvan Taschan

Many congratulations and thanks for following your passion while sharing your knowledge along with your commitment to safe and fun motorcycling education. I mention your channel to many of my classes as a valuable resource for information!

“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!”

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

Knowledge is power. If you know what to do and what not to do, and understand the reasons why you are far ahead of most riders.

This MCrider platform is knowledge, in-depth knowledge that you can use out on the road on a daily basis. What a great place for all motorcyclists to gather at their own pace, at their own skill level, plug into a riding community, and study, which helps them understand safer riding. Kevin has hundreds of in-depth videos for every rider's level.

The forums have thousands of riders sharing experiences worldwide that we can all learn from. It also features many rider coaches and instructors sharing even more knowledge! How to increase your riding skills, but how to use safe road strategy so you are not having to use those superior riding skills! I follow several YouTube motorcycle channels but this one is by far the most comprehensive, and the best of the best! Thank You, Kevin!

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

Yes Kevin has saved me, If there is one thing that I have learned it is this, The carpark is the place to learn, almost everything, I used to think that it was normal to duck walk, (sometimes) for example as it was (and still is a common sight, I had huge problems mastering tight U-turns, in fact never thought I could master it, until one day it all came together, So for me, the 1 thing is that it is essential to practice in the carpark, with the right techniques until te maneuvers are muscle memory

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.

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.
