It's no coincidence that as a lifelong motorcyclist you've reached the age you have Kevin. Let's hope anyone watching this takes you're wise words onboard. Hi from the UK.
Why do I ride a motorcycle? Why do I live life? This video might be one that I watch every morning and night just to keep perspective. You've completely nailed it right on the button, front to back, and start to finish. Exactly.
I think you might have ruffled a few feathers, judging by the thumbs down. Some motorcyclists ride as a status, rebel status. They want to wear black everything, minimal gear and even go out of their way to chastise others who wear proper riding gear or hi viz. Great video as always Kevin.
Wow! This was by far one my most favorite videos you've made... I tell new riders who ask me for advise, that riding a motorcycle properly is far beyond just throwing a leg over the bike and going from A to B... Everyday is a learning experience. No matter how long you've been riding.
What I like about motorcycling too is it literally forces you to focus on the road and your surroundings regardless on how your day has been. You also must have great reflexes which I like that, you can't require all the time you need to recognize a problem.
I was lucky enough to have a dad that put me on a motorcycle at a very young age. When you are young, you bounce better. I learned all about dropping my bikes in the dirt.
I learned a very important lesson the first time I ever rode my bike (a 69 Royal Enfield). I went and picked up a friend of mine and we went and got another guy, who had a 650 Yamaha with no front brake. We rode about 20 miles down a US highway a little south of Detroit, after stopping to pick up a pint of peppermint schnapps at the local liquor store. I won't say I didn't have a couple of pulls on the bottle, I did. The other two guy polished off most of the pint before we left the park. To make a long story shorter one of the guys, the one without the front brake, took off down that road at an excessive rate of speed. A couple of minutes later we went by a wreck where a motorcycle had rearended a semi, not realizing it was the guy we were riding with not 5 minutes before. The guy I was with went back and I stayed on the shoulder of the road. It wound up being our friend who was lucky to have survived, but he did lose one of his legs below the knee and never rode a bike again. I was lucky, I learned very early that booze and bikes don't mix at someone else's expense. I've remembered that lesson for the last 40 years. Please don't let this happen to you, I was lucky, you may not be. Keep the good stuff coming Kevin.
have you ever seen an unhappy rider, most are all smiles and good vibes. when we're bumbed out and low, angry or alone and bored we go for a ride. have you ever been jonesing when it's been a while since the last blast, then you go and you know. the feeling of goodness is all about you, it's a GOD send. tks.& keep-em coming
I really like the message, good perspective on riding and life. I especially liked the ending, ties it all together. The saying "you're never to old to learn" comes to mind. If we stop learning, we stop growing. Thanks Kevin.
Kevin, can't tell you how much it means that you put out such important information. I haven't ridden in many years, but looking to get back into it soon. Your videos have inspired me to learn everything possible before I start back, take every course I can, and definitely ... ATGATT. When I did ride, it was on a borrowed bike, and I had literally zero training. I did wear a helmet, but that was it for gear. And I stopped after a bad, totally self-inflicted solo crash. Destroy the bike, but even though I was injured, I was very fortunate. I could have easily died as a result of my stupidity. Thanks to RUclips creators like yourself, being a safer rider is a no brainer. Keep up the amazing work. And... Thanks for your boldness in sharing your faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May you continue to be blessed in all that you do.
I was riding out on a country road over here in South Africa, under my helmet I was praising God by singing to Him, My eyes filled with tears. I pulled over till the tears went away. Nothing beats the presence of God when you are out riding.
Wow. Kevin, I've been watching you since before I started riding & just can't believe how wholistic your mindset is on all you talk about. Here I am watching another clip of yours to learn some skill & almost drop a tear with some of the wisdom you shared. I'm a business owner, mentor, husband, dad & basically daily biker so to say I reasonate & value your channel is an understatement. You've probably not only saved countless lives that ride on two but also have indirectly saved countless lives that now focus more on God. God bless you Kevin. 👍🏽
Yes sir, thank you! Just successfully completed MSF basic rider course for full endorsement. Signing up now for the next advanced course. Had a great time and learned more than imagined with BRC. I utilized several of your exercises which clearly gave me a jump on all other riders in my BRC class. Thank you!
Kevin, not only have you taught me a much better way to ride but you have taught a lot about life. We my not think about it like that but you have. Your episode about your eye I have watched a few times and it gets me everytime. What I see is a person that has meaning in their life and without it life can and will beat you down. Thanks Kevin you are more then a motorcycle instructor your a good man.
Thank you David, I appreciate the thoughtful feedback. For anyone who does not know about the video David is referring to, you can see it here. www.mcrider.com/the-story-of-that-eye/
Great video! Just like we should always be looking to improve our riding, we should always be looking to improve our living. I think one of the best lessons I’ve taken from riding is to act with purpose. Small decisions can have great consequence. Thanks for giving me a thoughtful start to my weekend.
Well said Kevin. I've been riding since 1983 and continue to learn all the time. Improvement is always on my mind and I thank you for the lessons learned from watching your videos. You make a lot of sense my friend!
Its never too late to not die on a motorcycle. Just survived my first year on a street bike; 2008 Honda Nighthawk cb250. After a forty year hiatus I am fortunate to have found MCrider, and MotoJitsu. I must say, from my first year back on a motorbike, I am sad to see the state of motorcycling affairs to have become so very degraded. It seems motorcyclists have devolved into two, base street bike, groups. Young sport bike, speed demons crashing on GoPro videos and old, leather cruiser, Dads running off the road. It would be nice to hear, once again that "You meet the nicest people", 'on any kind of motorcycle'.
Thanks Kev your best riding learning tool on utube “If it’s predictable it’s preventable “ Sadly Even my mc club all drink beer or two I am only one who doesn’t drink 3 yrs now You can’t beat a dead horse I took police mc course and dropped mine several times but it was good learning tool also thought to pick it up properly I practice regularly ride like a pro is 2nd best learning too can never soak up enough when on a motorcycle ty again and god bless keep em coming
Awesome word Kevin. I would sum up all you said with this principle: Attitude is everything! A proper attitude applied to each task will be a successful venture.
100% correct ! think about this, the reason you feel the way you do when we ride motorcycles is, we are riding thru time. passing thru and into another space or dimension. a place we can't reach.
The most brilliant analogy drawing parallel between motorcycling and life. Loved the practise, failure and growth aspect rather, than the most clichéd aspect of motorcycling ...freedom... Respect from India
Amén, Kevin. I teach my people to handle a motorcycle off-road to a competent level before throwing traffic and road strategy into the mix. I realized long ago that motorcycling is like life in that you never know what to expect around the next turn or over the next rise. Blessings!
I have been watching your videos since I started to ride 3 years ago. Happy to still be here in one piece with no accidents or injuries so far. Always respect the motorcycles and ride to live.
Apart from making me a better cage driver, biking has taught me how to read the road. My biggest takeaway that carries over into everyday life is constantly playing hypotheticals. If something can potentially go wrong, you have a plan of action to proceed accordingly.
Couldn’t say it better! Another fine lesson and video. Kevin, you are one of my favorites - always great info and I like your slower, Texas style delivery! This coming from a fast talking northeast old guy!
I'm watching you at a very difficult time in my life, thought the topic was interesting so I settled in. I notice something almost immediately how thoughtful the advice is and how the words speak truth, a good man you know? Then you layout the words of the lord and I understood everything at that moment. Now, I enjoy this channel, because I feel connected and trust the intentions of this kind and wise man. Thank you MC RIDER!
You are so correct on all points especially when it comes to protective gear. I have a good friend that is the father of two Arkansas state troopers and we were at a restaurant eating breakfast. He had on his cell phone a motorcycle accident involving a Harley rider. He was riding on HWY 7 south which gets very curvy out of Jasper Arkansas. I myself have ridden that highway on my motorcycle dozens of times. In Arkansas helmets are not required. I watched these two Harley riders go into a tight turn I am very familiar with. This rider went into this turn WAY too hot and failed to negotiate the turn. He left the highway and his bike plowed into a ditch and his head hit a rock crushing his scull to pieces. To me, riding a Helmut is likened to playing Russian Roulette with a pistol to the head. Had this rider been wearing a Helmut he would not have perished. It was a very grislily sight, but that's what happens when the rider fails at Russian Roulette riding a motorcycle!
Really enjoyed this week’s video. Great analogy about looking ahead, in riding as in life. I find your videos have made me a much better rider (‘18 BMW R1200RT) and maybe even a better person!
yeah, no... its a terrible book on motorcycle riding and on Zen the author suffered from mental illness, and really has nothing to say if you havent read it in 55 years, read it again - it did not hold up.
This is a thought as I get older riding a motorcycle keeps me active both mentally and physically I have to use both every time I throw a leg over my bike I ride all the time but if I need to clear my head I just ride nowhere in particular, I hope riding keeps my mind & reflexes sharp as I age I can’t explain why I ride or started riding but I wouldn’t be the same without it
If you live your life avoiding discomfort, risk and failure, you don’t really live life. I’m leaving for the BMW rally tomorrow in Arizona heat. Riding keeps me connected to life both good and bad, but Im connected.
ive only got abs on one of my bikes and something i highly recommend if you dont have abs is practice finding the sweet spot for maximum braking without locking your tires, ive been doing a bit of stoppie training on both of my bikes without abs for this and its made me much more confident with my braking.
YES, ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!! All you've Just Said, As Usual Very Calmly and With Great Compassion, is Exactly what I try to Encourage my students to think about and apply in their lives! Kevin, You Sir, Have THE BEST Motorcycle Skills and Strategy RUclips Content in the WORLD! Great Job! God Bless!
Rode to church today and taught Sunday school - Put on the full armor of God. 🤔 Is there a lesson here too? ATGATT! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Kevin! Keep it coming and God Bless!
I’ve been riding motorcycles for close to 50 years. I’m ATGATT. When I was in my teens, my wise father said to me, “Son, as you know, you don’t have many brain cells!” So I wear a helmet all the time to protect what little brain cells I have…;-) I’ve had people say to me, “Aren’t you hot with all that gear on?” My reply,” Riding gear maybe sometimes uncomfortable but roadrash is painful!” Have I dropped my motorcycles over the years? Yes. It’s part of the experience and goes with the territory so to speak. The overall gratification totally outweighs the risks to me. I always tell a person interested in riding, “Take a motorcycle training course, when you buy your first bike find a mechanically sound used bike that won’t break the bank. So when you drop it it won’t be as upsetting to you. And by the way, it’s not if your going to drop your bike, it’s when.”
Great video. Learning how to ride has made me a better driver, I pay attention more and I see a lot more of the road. Riding allows you to see more of the world around you. Ride safe everyone, and practice, practice, practice.
@@MCrider I do agree with Burton. I like the second camera, but It's very strange if you don't look into it. Perhaps not for the drama but just to keep the eye-contact, especially when you'r 'preaching' ;-)
I ve spent a fair bit of time both living and racing on sailboats and I always said I learned my most important life lessons on a sailboat. At least one of those lessons is one I need to bring to my riding, “don’t take things personally” like when a cager changes lanes without seeing you. I also agree with your response to a fellow viewer “you be you and I will be me”. Just because we don’t see things exactly the same way doesn’t mean we can’t respect each other. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
Kevin, it's nice that you occasionally share your beliefs and faith, I can respect that although I have different beliefs. There's another motorcycle channel that I've had to stop watching because every video he makes is pushing religion, but that's not what you do, you're focussed on the main content. We can also see motorcycling as validating some Zen principles such as awareness that everything is temporary, focussing on the present moment and full awareness of our senses and surroundings in that moment.
This guy and Hickok45 are my fav YT people...

I used to drive looking through a peephole. Now I drive with a wide-angle lens, because of motorcycling.
I love the fact that you boldly share the Gospel. So few people follow the command of the great commission. Bless you.
Great lesson Kevin, can’t tell how often I think of that verse when I ride.

I really like the message, good perspective on riding and life. I especially liked the ending, ties it all together. The saying "you're never to old to learn" comes to mind. If we stop learning, we stop growing. Thanks Kevin.
Well said!
No, you grow old whether you keep learning or not. The question is do you die smarter than you were the day before you died or not.
When we fail to make life interesting, we fail to live. That's my perspective.

Great episode! Thank you so much for sharing.
"Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance."
A classic --- read this in the late 70's!
yeah, no... its a terrible book on motorcycle riding and on Zen
the author suffered from mental illness, and really has nothing to say
if you havent read it in 55 years, read it again - it did not hold up.

You can do the same thing on ABS bikes, but the goal is to apply maximum braking without triggering the ABS.
Imagine ABS failing and you need to learn how to brake properly on the fly. You'll be covered.

Good advice and a great word!, enjoy watching, grew up riding bikes of some kind,but you can always learn more! Thanks!
Suggestion, use the "from the side" camera shot to make a dramatic head turn, look into the camera and make the important point.
Should I do a finger point when I whip my head to the side with dramatic head turn? 😉
@@MCrider I do agree with Burton. I like the second camera, but It's very strange if you don't look into it. Perhaps not for the drama but just to keep the eye-contact, especially when you'r 'preaching' ;-)

I believe he is from India and tried to mean God! In India you have a God for everything. 😅
GOAT is an acronym for Greatest of all Time.
@@MCrider thanks. I didn't know that. Sorry for the misunderstanding
That was awesome Kev, thanks brother.
Keeping a motorcycle going is kinda like keeping a relationship healthy. If you don't do basic maintenance you're gonna have problems.

Amen. Great post.
Outstanding!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
