Motorcycle Controls – MCrider new…

Feb192018

Continuing the new rider series with a look at motorcycle controls. Let's face it, riding a motorcycle is different than driving a car. There are new controls on a motorcycle and it takes time to locate them. This week we look at some of the controls, how to manipulate them and how they may differ from one motorcycle to the next.

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!

“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.”

The weekly videos, field guide, and forums are a tool that has value far beyond the cost of admission. In MCrider, I have found encouragement, practical and easy-to-follow tips, and mentorship to pursue excellence in developing sharper road skills and road strategy to take full ownership of my safety while on two wheels. Thank you, Kevin, for the most valuable resource available to motorcyclists on the web!

The McRider videos and forum have underlined that practicing strategies and techniques to reduce close calls and keep the rubber side down is essential and is keeping me out of trouble. Thanks, Kevin, and keep ‘em coming!

Thank you for your vids. I just started riding again after 15 years. I rode in my younger years but didn’t have the opportunity to learn from classes or your videos. That being said, I just completed a beginner's course and loved it. Will be taking more classes as I grow and learn. Thank you for your vids they have helped me greatly.

These are great techniques! Thanks for saving our lives Kevin!

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.

Thanks for your videos. You've got me out in the parking lot practicing my skills regularly. I have gained a lot of confidence and I'm enjoying riding more.
