How to deal with tailgaters…

Oct52018

This week on MCrider we look at how to deal with tailgaters on your motorcycle.

Category: Road StrategyBy MCrider October 5, 2018

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!

I am extremely grateful for your channel. I got my first bike two years ago at 36 years old and started watching your channel even before buying it to begin preparing. Your tips and techniques have been invaluable to my riding development and I’m still watching and reviewing them quite regularly. I appreciate your calm, conservative style and approach to riding. Your perspective in this video is very needed. Keep up the excellent work. God bless!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Kevin’s videos and sage advise is very helpful and reinforces the right things to do and what not to do. I especially like his way of teaching, a little laid back but always worth listening to. Like he says, the most important “nut on the bike is the one attached to the handle bars”, be sure it’s on tight and right.

Really appreciate you!!! I’m 53, about to start 3rd season of riding… Your guidance rings clear and true in every video. Feeling grateful.
