For this video I take a couple of steps back from motorcycles and address something that has created a mini discussion on MCrider. Many of you have asked what is wrong with my left eye. In this video I answer the question and tell you a little of the story about me.
It was kind of weird opening up so much on camera and kind of long winded...but you are the ones who asked the question, so it's not my fault.
Grab some popcorn and sit back as I tell you the story of my freaky eye.

Being taught how to ride from the other side of the world by a Texan baseball playing combat priest...This is why the internet is great! Dude I love the eye, it locks you into a cowboy stare and helps with your natural ability to hold peoples attention. I have learned so much from this channel. You may not be saving lives in the army but you sure are here with educating us all on how to stay safe. Amazing work man. Once I pay off a bit of my new bike I will drop some cash on supporting the show. Keep staring em down Tex. Coming at you all the way from New Zealand.
Awesome comment Dodge, made me smile! Texan baseball playing combat priest I bet that is a niche that no one else on RUclips can throw down. :)
BTW: My all time favorite professor in college was from New Zealand! I loved that man, Dr. Bernard Holmes. Anybody from New Zealand is in automatic friend to me because of good ole Dr. Holmes.
It is excellent to hear we are doing good thing's out there in the world :) And if you befriend one of us you befriend us all :) If you ever find yourself in the south island on New Zealand there will be a place for you to stay and a buddy to ride with. We are big on slang and nick names for our friends so consider yourself dubbed The Braaap Chaplain. Keep up the good fight. We appreciate what you are doing.
David Bowie had the same thing going on with his eye, he made it a part of his mystique!
Dodge another kiwi living in thailand agree men like this are to be highly appreciated and respected humble and honest with alot to teach cheers
I must admit, as an atheist, I almost stopped watching when God's name cropped up.
But I've watched a few of your videos and consider you an articulate and intelligent guy, so I watched to the end, out of respect for the great job you're doing.
As it happens, I found your story very interesting. I commend you for your bravery in sharing both your story and your beliefs and share your happiness that you discovered another path to a fulfilling life.
I've been riding bikes for over 40 yrs, here in the UK, but I'm still picking up useful tips watching your videos.
So, good luck for the future, and keep them coming.
Respect.
Hey David, thanks for watching to the end. I'm glad you did. Not because I want to try to convince you of anything but because it is refreshing for someone to listen these days even when they don't agree. Thank you for not following the norms these days and only listening to what you agree with. I believe it is only by listening to each other that we can see the heart of the other person. Even if we don't agree with how they got to where they are we can at least respect their motivation for getting there. You are a good man! Glad to have you as a subscriber.
Dear Sir/MCrider,
Thank you so much for this video. It is truly a great story full of life's milestones: heartbreak, love, fulfillment, goals, struggle, etc. I am so glad I found out about your channel. I love your calm demeanor.
I, like David Green, am an atheist. Growing up, I wasn't really raise to believe a religious doctrine. Then I became a very strong Christian for 10 years or so (~15-25 y.o.?). But now, on a scale of 1-7, would say that I tend towards 6.75 as an atheist). Anyhow, both your two comments are great examples of conversation without demeaning the other.
Anyhow, my real question is, I have been riding for around 3.75 months now. I had the idea when I first started motorcycling those few months ago, that I would get the very basics of motorcycle control (balance, clutch, braking, etc.), and then I would take an MSF course. My thinking was that I didn't want to be distracted by the super basic things, and miss the real great tips I could learn from the course. Now that I am quite comfortable with riding, I'm starting to doubt a need for taking a course (at least the Basic course). Maybe I should take a more advanced course? But you have thrown a "wrench" into that idea, too. My thinking is that I should be able to get all I need to know from online resources, and channels such as yours. What is your opinion on this?
Thank you,
huyked
I almost stopped watching his videos for the same reason. I don't like people preaching their religion to me either. But, unlike you, I didn't find his story interesting at all. In fact, I found it bizarre and a bit creepy. I watched it because it was so weird that I had to see where it was going. When he sticks to motorcycle technique, his videos are good but I'm not sure I can watch them anymore after seeing this.
David: I suggest that you keep your religion to yourself and stick to motorcycle technique. You are good at that. The fact that you feel that you must spill your guts to total strangers and post your life story under the guise of a video about an eye condition is very odd. It's misleading too. It says something a bit disturbing about you.
Exactly the same here. I don't know if it's unusual for an antheist but I have quite a few religious friends, so I know most Christians aren't sience denying, pious, self righteous dicks, but it's always nice to meet someone who lives the "Word" even if I don't believe in it. Respect man
I would recommend taking the course anyway. I took it, although I had slightly less time on the bike than you. It was an awesome experience. Some of the info was stuff I already knew, but there were great tips, hands on exercises done with experienced riders to critique and improve your skills, and it gave me a definite increase in confidence. Totally worth the money, even if I had to scrimp for it.
Sometimes we are gifted a different path so that we can find joy AND serve others. Amazing story.
I, too, returned to motorcycling after a long time off a bike. I immediately appreciated both your delivery and your innate humility. You’re a kind man, and it comes through. I’ve learned a LOT about safety on my bike from you.- so yes, you’re making a difference, Kevin. That’s not an exaggeration. Thanks for modeling your humility and comfort with yourself with your story. I’ll continue to recommend your channel to to others.
I don’t usually comment on videos, but I feel the need to thank you for that heartfelt insight to your life. Keep up the good work!
I was Born again in 1995 and Delivered from Sin , Self and Satan when Jesus came into my Heart..I was an Atheist Almost till I was 22 , but I cried Out to God one night under the stars as I felt Unfit for this world and He Miraculously Delivered me Overnight from Chronic Drug abuse,,Smoking and Violence..etc ..
@@paulhorvath9784 God bless you sir. We can do all things through him.
"God didn’t keep Daniel from the lion’s den; He met him in it. He didn’t keep Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the fiery furnace; He joined them in it. He didn’t keep Joseph from being a slave to Potiphar; He gave him favor in it. And He met him in the prison as well. The proof in knowing you are where God wants you to be in your detour is that God doesn’t deliver you from it but rather joins you in it."

Awesome message. May God bless you and channel continually.
Sorry to hear about all that hard work and those dreams being crushed in an instant like that. At the same time, your story reminded me that I'm not alone in that immeasurably painful experience. You are doing a great job here, and it's been great to watch your platform grow so much over the years. Keep up the great work, and continue riding safe!
Hannaia, Michel, Azariah, call them by their babalonian names and they might poke you in the eye ;)
thank you. for setting such a goal. everyone respects the combat soldier. but so few recognize the chaplains and psych's. a chaplain is the reason I'm still here. so thank you for what you've done, thank you are doing, and god bless you.
Thanks for sharing your testimony. It takes courage to expose such a personal story. My prayer for you is that God my give you the desire of your heart, and turn this into a full time job. Glad I subscribed!
Thank you for sharing this story, Kevin. This was so inspiring :)
i didn't expect to find you here! i love your channel and your videos
You know, there is something else that you excel at, and that is story telling. The way that you told that story, had me drown to it as if I was watching an exciting movie. The details and the connections between different parts as well as the build, the a pax, till the satisfyingly end. It was amazing listening to you tell your story. Write it in a book it will become best seller. Maybe even a movie. Trust me, it is worth it.
This is the longest time i have ever spent on a single RUclips video. Honestly i have enjoyed every second of it. And like every other videos of MCrider this video holds lots of knowledge. Thank you for your efforts and courage. May god be with you on every step of your way.
Bless you my brother in Christ. Thank you so much for sharing. Your passion is contagious:-) when I first saw 33 minutes I was thinking, that’s a long time to hear, “I got hit with a baseball” But I cherish the story, the WHOLE story. Bless you. I can’t wait to meet you here or in heaven. Rik
Amen
This was an incredible story. Thank you for taking the time to share such an intimate and personal story. You’re an inspiration to many of us riders and soldiers. Thank you sir.
We change lives and save lives by sharing our stories. This was really beautiful and so well told. Thank you so much, Kevin
I am a 57-year-old woman and I have been riding exclusively for the last 6 years. I have no car, just the bike. And even though it is my sole transportation for all the mundane things in life, like grocery shopping, I still get so excited everytime I get to ride! It is a passion. I, too, am a Christian and I, too, have a freaky eye. Three years ago I inexplicably lost sight in my right eye. I went through brain surgery (I don't recommend it!) and am still blind (i see a little of my periphery) and that eye is not the same as my left either. I love your videos. I am always looking for ways to improve as a rider, so thanks for the tips!
Maybe it is a thorn in the flesh to keep you humble.
You go Pam! Would love to meet you. We have a coffee date in Heaven.
All of your videos taught me something important about motorcycling. This one inspired me. Thank you.
Thanks EMajor7
What a inspiring and uplifting story....Some of the most accomplished people have endured much 'pain', you most certainly have, but you emerged stronger through it all and probably through the MCrider and your teachings saved many lives......
Thank you for sharing your story. I was a casual fan but i feel like i know you as a friend.
This was a hauntingly beautiful story! Thank You Sir for sharing!
I didn't think I was going to invest 33 minutes in an "eye" story, but it turned out to be so much more than that, and I thank you for sharing it. BTW, I'm just shy of 70 and been driving professionally for 53 years (from age 16) and specifically gasoline tankers for the last 41 years. Still see people do things I never thought I would see. Recently bought my 5th bike after a 25 year hiatus. Enjoying every ride now. Thanks again.
David OneTon Hi David, I'm 61 and planning a return to motorcycling this year, after a lay off of 25 years also! I'm glad it's going well for you, wish me luck. 👍 All the best, Glyn
Be careful
After a 30 year or so hiatus, at age 73 I bought 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 400 KRT ABS as an upcoming birthday present for myself. Still enjoying it VERY much at age 76.5 - so we share something in common.
@@glynhannaford7332
Hopefully you're enjoying the ride!!
I hadn't ridden a motorcycle in 36 years. I'm 56. I bought a Yamaha R3 4 days ago. Bit of curvy back roads, some city, couple trips on the highway and practicing in parking lots. No regrets so far. Scary fun.
Thank you so much for your story (and of course all of the rest of your videos, I'll get my license in the best of ways = through practice riding with both body and mind).
I'm so happy for you finding a second call in life; you have thought us a lot of lessons through this video. Thanks again and I promise to never forget your way of taking on struggles in life. Didn't expect that impact. Greetings from Sweden
Thanks for sharing, Kevin! It takes heart to share your life story with people, especially with a lot of people at once. Keep up good work!
I'm speechless. You're an extraordinary person. Thank you for telling your story and sharing your knowledge and wisdom with your fellow motorcyclists. Its been truly invaluable to me.
I am a senior pastor of a church in Colorado and bought my very first motorcycle in March, a month before I turned 65 years old. Thanks for your testimony and I find I have a very special time with the Lord as I ride my bike and your videos helped me get going safely and securely. We are part of an evangelistic motorcycle group called Chariots of Light that uses motorcycles as a tool to share the love of God with people. Thanks for what you do and be blessed! ( By the way, my very first bike is a Harley Davidson Road King Screaming Eagle Anniversary Edition CVO, 2008, having great fun on it,)
Hey Kevin, your testimony and story really touched me. Thank you so much for sharing your life and experiences with us. I live down in Houston, I have learned a lot from your video's and greatly appreciate what you are doing to help us out here in the cycling community. God bless you!!
Thank you for taking the time to share your story! May God bless you and your family always.
LT, Thank you for your service to our Nation and our US Army. I wish you continued success on your next mission. V/r, MSG(Ret) Wahl, US Army
I listened to your story and couldn’t help but be mesmerized by your candor and the way you pick yourself up after a tragic accident that would have let the wind out of most people’s sails. I believe you can accomplish anything that you put your mind to and you are a great example of perseverance. Thank you for your story it has certainly motivated me.
Thank you Sgt Wahl.
Greetings to both military friends. From a Brazilian Army officer. Amazing video and story! 👏
God bless you for sharing your remarkable story. I know I'm not the only one to be touched by your willingness to be open about your faith and your journey. Thank you
Loved your story and your testimony brother! Stay strong in faith and keep on producing great content. You’re such a blessing to so many.
Thank you for your story Kevin. I feel really blessed and grateful to have come across your channel. I’ll be returning to riding after a 15 year break (I just ache to get back on. Bike!) and the material you offer is invaluable. You’re a true inspiration. 🤓👍
Kevin, You are a great soul. Thank you for what you do, I love your videos and BTW...the eye is cool.
All the best to you and yours
I am not a religious person but I really liked the way you brought it into this conversation without preaching. The lack of humility in our world is at times overwhelming and this video gives me some comfort that there are humble folks "online". My son goes to school at West Point and I often think of the sadness and frustration he would feel if something happened that removed the army from his career path. Thanks so much for the perspective. The best 33 minutes of RUclips I have watched in a while.
david reichenthal what a great video. And what a great comment you've made here. Couldn't say for sure why this video hit me so hard but I think it may be mostly the things you mention. I'm glad I read comments tonight or I would've missed yours
Thanks for the story!!! Life always unfolds in ways we never expect. Your channel is one of the best I have seen for motorcycle info!!!
Thank you for sharing this story Kevin. You have shown great determination and deserve your success. Your videos are well explained and the topics always useful as well as worth being reminded of the need to continue practicing every time we are out, no matter how long we’ve been riding.
It only made you stronger brother. Thanks for the story, well worth the listen.
WOW, It's amazing how close our storys are, i was also hit not by a baseball but a brick in my left side of my face breaking up a fight, had surgury 58 staples in my head and many pieces of titanium plates and screws,thankfully i had a wonderful doctor that was from houston and he worked on many bull riders with similar injurys,my skull was crushed,lost my hearing on my left side, my eye are a little different looking but no one really notices until i tell them. GOD BLESS YOU brother
Thanks SO much for sharing your incredible story! Again, I can not express how glad I am to have found your channel! I’ll see you on the road neighbor!
I know this video is 3 years old but the message is beautiful. Kevin, thanks for answering the call. Your videos are a blessing to me as I begin my street riding journey at age 45! I’m learning so much from you and I just want you to know how much I appreciate what you do. God bless you brother. Keep it coming!
Wow! That's a powerful story, I don't know how else to say it. Thanks for sharing
+Greg Kollasch Thanks Greg, I appreciate you watching.
As soon as you said "baseball" I was like.... he got hit in the face by a pitch.
ditto
Thank you for sharing your story! You are blessed and are blessing others! Your videos have helped me as a new rider!
I knew it was something special behind that eye! Someone who has a calling, someone blessed! Thank you!
Kevin, I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for taking the time to talk about something so personal. I am thankful that you are here and I appreciate your channel and the things you do for the motorcycle community.
Amen brother. I spent years in the fire department working as a Firefighter/EMT it was my calling just like the military was to you. Due to a birth defect in my heart we did not know I had, two heart operations and another severe line of duty injury I am no longer in the fire department and I am very much like you looking for my next calling. I have problems with fears and anxieties after my experiences as a fire department but I love to ride and ride most of the time even on the winter. It relaxes me and I have found no better place to pray and be honest with Good than on the driver's seat of a motorcycle. I'm still looking for my next calling, God willing I'll find it one day
I’ve watching you for a couple of years (off and on) but when I catch it, I truly enjoy your words of advice. It’s not often we are privileged to know a bit more about the people posting on RUclips. Thank you for sharing - I have shared some of your posts as I believe they are excellent advice. Keep it up and thanks.
“Walk in their boots” impressive life story, inspirational, you are a great role model ! Thank you for your service! and for doing these videos, I have learned so much already. You make a difference. Thank God you are here with us!
Keep doing what you love man
I just wanted to thank you for this video, it really helps me as a person keep focus on what's important.
So glad I stayed, thank you for sharing some of your story
thanks for being on the internet, you have made my day. Appreciate you. Bless you mate.
Best video I've seen in quite some time on RUclips. I enjoyed your story so much!
That was an awesome story, thank you for sharing. Your channel is a really great resource for learning and keeping our motorcycle riding skills up to scratch. Keep up the great work! Much appreciated.
This is by far the most honest, heartfelt, and sincere thing I've seen on social media for a long time. I'm already a subscriber, but I'm now doubled down on telling every rider I meet to check out your channel. God bless you Kevin and keep up the good work!
That was an awesome testimony!! You just won a fan here....!!! God bless you forever, Kevin!!
Great inspirational story! Respect! I am glad I found your channel. Great work!
thanks so much for sharing your story! I actually was going to ask about your eye, so perfect timing! I was in the USMC and my son is now a Combat Medic in the Army reserves with a very simular story as far as the bonus and college but he's going to become a Dr. and an officer after his schooling is done. I am a Pastor so I really appreciate your being open about your Christianity and your calling and totally understand your need to fill that gap and do what God would have you to do! His ways are way above our ways and we usually don't understand why we go through things until later. God has a plan for you and you are being obedient to that and I believe will reach more people this way than you would have! I will keep you in my prayers! BTW, I could tell you were different from the first video on that I wachted of yours, that's what people will see and that is doing God's work! God Bless you and your work!
Thanks for the awesome comment and keeping me in your prayers, we can all use a little more of that. Kevin
Semper Fi!
man i like more your left eye than right
He wasn't in the Marines!
Thank you for sharing your story and thank you for your service. Your work saves motorcyclists' lives. You are a truly amazing person. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you for sharing your inspirational story, Kevin. You serve as a great role model for hard work, devotion, overcoming adversity, and having meaningful purpose.
Thanks for this. I needed it today, strangely. You're a great storyteller.
Tonight as I was searching looking for videos to help me do training. I came up on one of your videos and i have watched several of them today and I didn't even notice your eye. I started watching gear and gadgets when you mentioned your eye and I was like well whats wrong?? I think I was listening more to your message and what you are trying to teach. Regardless thanks for sharing it is inspiring and carries a great message to continue searching and not to give up. Keep up the good work and I look forward to many more video's. One more thing THANK YOU for your service!
Thank you for sharing your story, Kevin, and thank you for your service. I enjoy your videos, you're articulate in explaining things and that is much appreciated.
Thank you for everything you do fo all of us!
Kevin I have watched many of your videos and they have been super helpful as a new rider. Thank you for taking your time to share your story and the challenges you have faced. I truly enjoy your videos & am thankful for what you do for the community. Have a blessed day.
Thanks for sharing your story and making your videos.
Yes, thanks indeed @MCrider for sharing so much of your life! Be blessed :)
You are doing a great service and thanks ..I joined and I am part of your team and the story was worth it! God be with you.
Thank you for your service !!! Loved the story bless you my brother. Prayers for your channel to the continuing to educate motorcycle riders. God bless !!
Thanks for sharing your story and passion. I'm a new rider and have found your videos and information very valuable. Keep it up and may God continue to bless you!
Thank you for sharing that with us Kevin. I've just subscribed in Australia. You have a quiet genuine way about you. Regards Steve
I Love your videos. Beautiful story, had me in tears. I also suffered because of my sons eye injury. Precious vision taken away by an accident. God Bless you my Brother, I Love you!!! Praise God!!!
That was a great story and I was happy to listen to it all. I will be watching your channel as long as it's up sir. Thank you for your service I spent 5 years in the Marine Corps myself. That makes me have that much more respect for you! Thank you for sharing and thank you for all the help you provide with your channel I am a new rider and I have learned a lot from watching your channel. I've wanted a bike for about 14 years and I just recently bought one so it's really nice to be able to go to your channel and get some pointers.
Thank you for sharing your story and for making MCrider a reality. Enjoy watching and learning. God bless you and keep you safe.
Once you started this story, I couldn't stop listening. I've watched a lot of you other videos, but now I feel like I know you. Thanks a lot.
Just getting into your channel and trying to play catch up. God bless you brother. You are a blessing and so is your channel.
And finally, thank you for sharing with us your story, this beautiful lesson in courage and resilience. You are a great man, and this makes your advice even more precious, because it is no longer a question only of "technique", but of how to better enjoy our existence, through the pleasure of riding a motorbike. Thanks Kevin
That's an amazing story my friend!
Respect to you for getting strength out of this situation and moving on!
Keep up the great work with MCrider!
Ride safe and Rock ON!
Thanks BigBadWolfMoto, I just checked out one of your videos (ruclips.net/video/k4QCm8YEZiQ/видео.html) good stuff! If I had any real guts I would try something like that. LOL
Sir,
You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your story. I saw one of your videos on Facebook. I went to RUclips to see more of your stuff and I found this. I am a man of faith also. You are an inspiration and an encouragement to others. I'm in Okinawa Japan. Not riding over here just yet. Can't wait to get home and on the road. Keep sharing God and your experience with motorcycles.
Its nice to see someone here on utube, really keeping it real and positive at the same time. Thanks for sharing your story brother. Sometimes life doesn't make sense until you can stand and look back at the valley you that you went just went through and see Gods hand in it all. It ministered to my soul. I also love to ride but couldn't quite explain exactly why. All of the above. Just like listening to a very good friend speak to you.Your are a gifted comunitor. Enjoyed every minute. Looking forward to learning more ways to stay alert when out riding. Glad I stumpled on to you. "Godspeed"
I am also glad for all the true Military men ( in the military men and women are MEN and its not being rude either) of God out there who acknowledge the Lord in action and not speech. Bless you all out there.
Sir, you are an inspiration. I've learned so much from your videos. There is so many things I've neglected or just didn't think about it. Your videoshas really helped me to realise and think about the time on the road in a different manner. To think so much more than just enjoying the ride.
I thank you for your show. Your honesty amd also for sharing your story. I've got a lot of respect for you.
Blessings.
Thanks for sharing your story Kevin. All the best for continued success with MCrider.
Thank you Kevin for sharing your story and letting all of us get to know you as a person and what makes you tic! I’ve watched some of your other video’s prior to this one, and they have helped me become a better, safer rider. Trying to keep things brief I simply commented on them “Thank you”. Little did I know that watching this video would also impact my life. You have greatly inspired me today. But not because you are overcoming a tragic accident, defying your handicap, and accomplishing goals you have set. It’s because you exemplify a characteristic that you never mention in this video, as you humbly told your story. Yet you have displayed this characteristic throughout your high school days to present day. “Courage”! You have tremendous courage, to never give in to your fears, whether it be schooling, physical challenges at boot camp, serving our country in the Army, or not giving up on yourself after a serious injury. When you felt weak, you dug deep within yourself and became stronger! I’m not saying you did all of this alone, you know faith, family, and friends play an important role. But without having tremendous courage you would not be the person you have became today! Again, thank you! I look forward to your continued educational videos.
Amazing story, and this hasn't held you back. Your teachings on here have saved my life on a motorcycle. And also has made me a safer rider. Thank you. Your helping so many people. A modern hero.
Kevin I rarely make it through full videos on RUclips. I watched every second of this one! Thank you for sharing your testimony! I’m just getting ready to purchase a bike after not owning one for almost twenty years. I’ve been watching your channel and enjoying and learning. You have a gift to teach. Please keep it up! God bless you for your service and the journey you’ve been on to get to this point. Thank you very much!
At first i was annoyed at your slow pace of talking. But it grew on me and now i realise that it's just pleasant to slow down in life once in a while.
You're like that cool uncle that comes by rarely and is full of stories and wisdom.
His voice is soothing. Somehow it exudes authority without sounding authoritarian
Man u are one hell of a cool guy. the 1st few videos I thought hmm, must be the way the light hits him. then I saw this title. you made my feet go numb with the description but I'm so glad you didn't just say what happened in a nutshell. great story, great guy and great calling. thanks!
Kevin, what you do with MCrider is fantastic. I thank you very much for this service. I hope it continues to satisfy you for many many years!
Please keep your videos rolling! Helping others to be safe . You are the man.
Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing. We all need to hear more stories like this.
Great story, great person, great channel. Thank you !!!
Sir, thank you for your service, from one veteran to another. Love the videos, I learn something from every one. Been riding on the street since 1976, motocrossed, drag raced....but we can all still learn.
Thanks for explaining this all and answering questions that were no ones business. I love your channel and still pick up great tips from you despite learning to ride on a dirt bike at 10yrs old. Keep it up brother
I see your videos from time to time and I enjoy the information, they appear when I scroll on. I happen to click on this particular one that you have posted a while back and you have me. I’m subscribed. What a beautiful productive life you have. I can’t thank you enough for being you. Thank you for all you do. God bless you and your wife.
I just want to thank you for sharing yr story. I am hoping to take up riding soon. I came across yr channel and was immediately drawn to yr easy style of teaching. It's taken me till 54 yrs of age to do this. I also have a left eye damage and its like looking through a smear of vaseline. I also struggled with school and the teaching method. Funnily I now work in a primary School in the office. Anyway yr story and teaching has encouraged me to persue what has been inside of me all of this time waiting to burst out. Thank you. 🏍🕇
MAN...thanks for sharing that Kevin!!!! Inspirational to ME and Many here I am sure!
Thanks MemphisMike!
Thanks for sharing your story, brother. The 33 min video flew right by - I couldn't stop watching and listening. It takes courage to be vulnerable and share so openly. Well done. I sincerely hope that the MC Rider phenomenon can be a full-time career for you.
What a wonderful story. I have been following you for a couple of years and felt that there was something behind your calm demeanor and the excellent videos you produce. Now I know. God bless you and your family and I hope to see you down the road.
Thank you Kevin, I really enjoyed this video and can understand the wrench of losing the military career being ex British Army myself. I didn't find at any time during the video the need to skip forward. Now subscribed. I've only been riding for 3 years and I'm into my early 50's. Keep up the good work as I believe no matter how much experience someone has we are always learning. For what it's worth I watched a few of your videos before this one and didn't even notice 'the eye'. Cheers.
Thank you Kevin for your witness and Sharing your story I thoroughly enjoy what you're doing and hope you continue for a long time. I wish I knew of you two weeks ago I was in Fort Worth area and I would've try to meet you.
One of YOUR BEST VIDEOS by far!!! I've spent half of my life in Army and I could tell you were a Veteran as well. I also took my MSF Basic and Advanced MC classes at Ft Hood. You remind me a lot of that class, you're a great coach! Thank you so for sharing your story. There were so many things I got from this and I see the connection from your life to MC Rider. Thanks again, Coach! I'm making my way over to your website to support.
Remarkable story. Thanks for sharing Kevin. Your path has brought you to us and we are all blessed for that.
Great tetemony. God bless you
Excellent bio. It's amazing what twists and turns our lives take. Awesome garage/studio btw.
Thanks Sky, the Mrs MCrider helped me get the garage looking good.
Thanks for sharing, Kev! You're an incredible guy. Don't stop what you're doing. Cheers, Peter.
