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

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!

Hey Kevin. Just letting you know I’ve been watching and practicing your videos for 2 years. You saved my butt last night man. Typical story. Big deer just standing in road, 45 mph, emergency braking, started skidding, balance of front and rear brakes and allow bike to do what it does to come to controlled slow. Keep it up sir. You’ll never know how many lives you saved because the wreck never happened.

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!

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.

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!
