Kevin—soothing demeanor; calm, cool, collected, articulate, methodical, and precise. Thank you SO much for sharing your keen insight, experience, and in-depth knowledge. You’re a treasure to the motorcycle community!

After a 35 year hiatus, I decided to return to riding motorcycles. Internet searches for instructional material provided a vast array of choices for my questions. MCRider was one that coming up with lessons for the topics I was interested in. The videos on YouTube were extremely helpful in rebuilding my confidence and skill level. I was aware there was a forum for quite some time before joining and am glad I took the plunge. The depth of knowledge from the membership, as well as the willingness to answer questions and offer guidance cannot be overstated. I purchased some practice cones and used the Field Guide exercises to hone my riding skills and my practice sessions are now something I look forward to.

Perhaps the most beneficial parts of the forum are the discussions pertaining to safe riding and rider awareness. One of the forum members made a comment to the effect of ” A superior rider uses his superior judgment to avoid situations which require the use of his superior skill.” That statement stays in the forefront of my mind and I believe it helps make me a better/safer rider. I am much more aware of the potential dangers due to reading the discussions on the forum and it has helped increase my enjoyment of being on 2 wheels again.

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!

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.

You add a lot of values to riders of all levels. Thumbs up!

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.

I am a new and old (66) rider. The MCrider videos, forums, and field guide have taught me so much about what I need to know to ride safely. And how to use that knowledge to practice and develop my skills.

The Forums include invaluable practical comments from both riding instructors and long-time riders.

The “MCrider-Experience” is a motorcyclist’s dream come true…

I like to call it the Double “A” and the Triple “F” way to learn…

Double “A” being “Advice & Answers” for all levels of motorcyclist’s…

And the infamous Triple “F” which MCrider owns alone on the internet… (nice one Kevin)

The “Forums”… The “Field-Guide”… and The “Friday Video’s”… aka… The Triple “F” Strategy…

The “Forums” give you (the rider), and your situation, a voice to be heard and you are co-joined by many others with like-minded concerns/observations in a most congenial environment like nothing I have seen online… advice and answers are abounding here and given without reserve…

The “Field-Guide” is your pocket pen protector you can take to your parking-lot practice sessions to assist you with your “practice with a purpose” skill and strategy continual learning endeavors…

Saved the best for last…

The “Friday Videos” produced and directed by Kevin Morris, are the best of the best topics an aspiring or a veteran motorcyclist can hope for… they are on point… easy to understand… pleasant to watch (Kevin is personality plus)… very informative… always enjoyable and something I have treasured for the past 2.5 years… certainly makes my Friday a special treat-day and always entertaining…

Combine the Triple “F” Strategy with the Double “A” Salsa and you have what we call here in southwestern USA…

“The whole Enchilada” – Amigos and Amigas…

The “MCrider Experience” is quite simply the best you will find anywhere for your motorcycling lifelong-learning enjoyment and has the best people/riders from around the world participating…

I currently have 911 consecutive days here at the MCrider Experience and the good Lord willing will have another 911 (cool number) as we move forward under Kevin’s tutelage…

I can honestly attest to the FACT that MCrider has changed my life for the better in so many ways…

Thanks Kevin… You da Man Dude…
