This winter my wife purchased me a newer to me bike, she knew I just never really enjoyed the touring bike especially when we were both on it. She mentioned if I would get her a bike she would love to learn to ride. So we purchased her a bike. I told her she had to take the MSF basic course. I wanted her to have a head start before we got to class end of June. The field guide has been the perfect tool we had spent about 4 hours in parking lot before I couldn’t contain her anymore and she wanted on street. Thank you again for the field guide it has improved my riding and helped her get a great start. We have a cool routine where we do some parking lot field guide maneuvers and then do a ride. Thanks for all you do Kevin.

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!

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!

I am 73, and have been riding for 60 yrs. Being a part of this group allows me to continue learning safety and developing the skills to continue riding. Thank you for everyone sharing your experience and especially Kevin for providing a platform for all of us to share.

MCRider will change and possibly save your motorcycling life.

After a 15 yr break I decided to get back into riding, I’d never had formal instruction (dirt bikes as a kid) and it showed when I rode with my wife, who I had insisted get training. She was more technically proficient than I was because she had only learned the right way. I started watching videos and some were good some weren’t but when I found Kevin’s MCRider videos I knew I’d found the series of instruction I needed.

Within a few weeks of practicing skills from his YouTube channel, I decided I really wanted to support what he was doing and I became a Member of MC Rider and that unlocked a whole additional resource. If you’re looking to improve your motorcycling skills in an extremely supportive community, you found the place.

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!
