Some facts about laying a motorcycle down

If you lay the motorcycle down you are guaranteed to crash every time.
If you lay the motorcycle down it does not mean you won’t hit the object you are attempting to avoid.
If you lay the motorcycle down you are giving up on the situation and relying on luck that you will reduce your injuries as a result.

What you practice is what you will do when the pressure is on

MCrider is the ultimate source for motorcycle road strategy and safety education. It is a must have for riders at any level.

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!

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.

“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.”

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.

Returning to motorcycling after a two decade hiatus, I didn’t even know the right questions to ask. As I immersed myself in my new owners manual, I had more questions. MCRider has established itself as the go-to web site for the developing rider in all of us. The first, most important lesson I learned from everyone is their desire for my success. In a world where too many are seeking another’s failure, failure on two wheels is a failure of the teacher AND the student. Every members thoughts an opinions are oriented towards success and safety for each other. Here I found the confidence to put my leg over a GoldWing and succeed in taming a potentially wild horse into an extension of my desire to ride well and see everyone on the road, wherever they may be. For now, I learn. Soon, I shall be the teacher because of MCRider.
