…your channel is a “School” I can attend and learn many riding skills and information that it would take years to gather. I have always been taught to seek out the experts if you want to learn. For me, when I ride I remember the videos and information that I have learned. You really have an impact on my riding and that has helped me tremendously.

These are great techniques! Thanks for saving our lives Kevin!

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…

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.

“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.”

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

Congratulations Kevin! I know I enjoy every episode of MCrider. I am glad you started these videos, because you probably saved a lot of rider's from a lifetime of pain & suffering & for that you are to be commended. You are a natural Kevin!

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, 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!
