This week we explore the topic of trail braking in a little more detail and I show you a practice session of me using trail braking on a parking lot on my 2018 Honda Goldwing DCT.

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!

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!

The information and advice I am able to access on this site…to me absolutely LIFE SAVING…

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!

Your channel should be mandatory training for car drivers, not just riders.
