This week on MCrider we talk about the proper use of vision and how it can make a huge difference in your ability to see hazards on the road.

“As great as MCrider’s YouTube videos are, it’s the knowledge base on the forum that really rounds out the full benefit of this unique educational/safety training opportunity.

I highly recommend joining for any type of rider, whether new or experienced.”

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!

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.

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!

I enjoyed your videos for a while now, and this has probably unknowingly saved me from riding hickups. and maybe more. When I ride now, Kevin is constantly on the back seat. Turn your head in the direction you want to go. Leave more space with the car in front of you, move to the right to see ahead of the traffic… as I have free loaded the video for a while, I have decided to become a patron. the $5 a month won't make any difference to my bank balance but might well save my life. If you enjoyed Kevin ‘s video and think they are contributing to your better riding skill. join as well. This is now his job and we should financially appreciate it and keep it going. See you all on the road.

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

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!

Kevin, thanks for all the advice you have published along with others on youtube, I am 64 and with all the advice it has given me the great opportunity to be a better rider every time I am on the road! THANKS!

The MCrider forums are the best online resource I’ve found on the web. Becoming a motorcyclist is a lifetime of learning and it is great to have a place to find the right help with taking next steps. There are those times along that journey where we need to go back to review basics. MCrider is there in both cases. Whether we are a beginner, highly experienced, or anywhere in between, we have found the right place, to be both enriched, and to add to others’ lives.
