I want to address a few comments I have seen regarding this video. From Will: “Another “you're gonna die” vid. 🤦‍♂️” In response to Will from Andre: “Yes another one, his videos really do discourage new wannabe riders” Let me explain why I do these types of videos. First, they are effective. Because the title and the thumbnail have a sensational element to it, it draws people in who might not otherwise listen. The other videos similar to this are the highest-ranking MCrider videos in numbers of views. The 3 Deadliest Mistakes you can make on a Motorcycle 5 ways to die on a motorcycle Even though the thumbnail and title might encourage clicks because of the sensationalism, what is contained in the video is sound motorcycling principals that save lives. If I wanted to just get clicks I would release real-life, gruesome, crash videos all the time. Those types of videos always rank the highest. But, MCrider is not primarily about getting clicks…it is about developing motorcyclists. So my response to Andre's comment…”Yes another one, his videos really do discourage new wannabe riders” He is correct. If a rider is going to ride impaired, not develop their road skills and not develop their road strategy… ***I do want to discourage that rider.*** Ride well, friends!

I have been watching for awile and have gained great insights, some stuff my cocky personality needs while biking and uses now. Once I fell like that guy but I was not drunk, I was daydreaming and just totally forgot about putting my feet down. I fell over and got up and watched people laughing through their windshields. one of the dangers not talked about is attention. I have been in a few close calls because I just was not paying enough close attention. I know I take risks in life because no one ever wrote any books about people playing it safe all the time, but you have to know what's worth risking and for what reasons. I have been injured being stupid and I'll live with it for the rest of my life for having an ahh F it attitude, but like your money analogy, certain risks are just not cost effective or wise. and in the end high insight just not worth it.

good video. I enjoy riding but am torn with all that can go wrong such as someone in an SUV flying through a stop light and taking you out when the light has been red for seconds. I drove 330 miles from PA to Niagara Falls and was starving so I stopped off at a bar for a burger and water. A couple of riders drove up and had at least 2 beers a piece while I was there and who knows how many more after I left and before getting on their bikes. I wouldn't do it. On the way home I was taking a corner at dusk at a speed that was driving people behind me crazy but sure enough I saw a deer and was able to stop until the deer decided what it was going to do. These videos are good and I don't think they necessarily encourage people not to take up riding but to put yourself in the best possible position to ride smart.

Even with the best training, commitment and practice you can still die on a motorcycle. Your reasons are also why I don't like doing group rides with others I've never ridden with before. I'm also more likely to get taken out by a soccer mom watching her phone instead of the road. Nothing is without risk, mitigating risks doesn't necessarily eliminate all risks. I'm going for a ride and enjoy the countryside now, you never know what's around the next corner sometimes but that's what makes it interesting.

Probably a good thing as the years have made me wiser and more cautious. I had my first close call last week and I know the awareness and training kept me from a potential crash. My wife is not a big fan of motorcycles but appreciates and watches some of the videos with me. Thanks again for all you do. May God bless you and your family during these unusual times.

Last week I had a wonderful time riding the country roads of Tazewell County Virginia, including Route 16 from Tazewell to Marion, aka The Back of the Dragon. It's a fantastic area for riding a motorcycle. Near the end of a long day I wound up on route 67 headed south toward Richland. This road is just what I look for--a paved, two-lane road with climbs and descents and lots of curves. I soon caught up to a line of cars going 10 mph up a long hill. The reason was obvious: in front of us was a double-wide manufactured home being towed up the mountain. This load took up both lanes of the road; there was no way to get past it going in the opposite direction in many places, especially in the tight turns that the truck pulling the double-wide barely managed to get through. I thought to myself, I sure hope anyone riding down the mountain doesn't override their line of sight, cause if they do they'll be in for a big and unpleasant surprise. It just wouldn't be fun facing a double-wide blocking the entire road going faster than you could stop. Probably not something you encounter often in Texas, but here in the Appalachians you never know what might be around the next curve.

As a new rider (37) years old, never sat on 2 wheels so it's all new to me. Your videos like these help me tremendously and puts so much perspective into the dangers and how to avoid them. With Covid all the courses have been cancelled and the Riding Academies are also cancelled. I am on my own and your videos have thought me so much. I take what you talk about and apply it to my daily riding practice routines. Thank you so much for taking the time to make the videos and post them.

Great story Kevin! I appreciate your devotion to helping us become better riders. I became a member of MCRider and Patreon a few years ago after returning to riding and not being on a motorcycle for about twenty years. I bought a Harley-Davidson Streetglide and fulfilled a dream of owning a Harley. Well... it didn’t go as planned and I dropped the bike twice my first year with the Harley. I found your videos on KZbin and quickly became a member. I devoted myself to the training exercises that you taught and found out that the friction zone and back brake were my best friends. I couldn’t do a u-turn when I first started and now you have helped me be a confident rider and I now have the knowledge and confidence to perform a u-turn or brake and escape and all the other maneuvers that you teach. Thanks so much for making me a better rider!

You, as well as the vast majority of your watchers, are what I believe to be non-ego based riders--you are common sense, practically-based riders, and as you commented below, anyone who has watched just a couple of your videos will realize you are all about helping others develop into riders with sound, technical riding skill based with great real world riding tips learned from tens of thousands of miles on the roads. You are a valuable resource, and learning from sage, wise riders who have tons of skill on two wheels is really giving back to the community and world in immeasurable ways. Teachers like you, as well as so many of the other excellent motorcycle instruction channels here on KZbin have saved thousands of lives and prevented even more painful, costly injuries. Keep up the great work!

Great video Kevin. The personal story at the end really hits you. I hope that rider you helped is helped by his friends and community to make better life choices. We choose to ride, but by choosing to ride smart and safe, we much reduce the rick that our choice to be a rider doesn't have to end in our deaths. A friend of mine lost her husband a week ago last Sunday on his motorcycle. I still don't know the exact circumstances, but they lived in the mountains, he didn't, as far as I could tell from pictures, habitually wear a helmet, and I don't know if he separated his drinking and riding activities. It could have been any of these three, or it could have just been someone else's bad choice. I never got to meet him, and I feel for her loss. Ride safe out there.

I very occasionally ride with a client who is a very expert rider. He is a 30+ year serious desert racer, owns more than 100 bikes (many vintage), and rides a beautiful KTM 1290 daily. His skill level at the limit far exceeds my own, no doubt. But I've repeatedly been surprised by how fast he will go around corners without being able to see what's ahead. We've actually joked that I can ride faster following him than I can possibly ride myself, because I'll see his brake lights go on right before he hits the truck stalled in the road, and *I'll* be able to stop in time. He's such a skilled rider that I've caught myself thinking that what he's doing is OK, but I just can't make myself overdrive my vision, because my brain just isn't having it. Kevin, thanks for reaffirming the truth!

I'm not a new rider and have taken several classes over the years, including a cornering clinic at a track, but I'm human and still forget things and develop the occasional bad habit so I'm always trying to improve. I watched this video last night, and had the overriding the brakes segment in the back of my mind as I went for one of my favorite rides this morning. It's some nice sweepers through mostly farmland that eventually brings me to a beautiful twisty shoreline ride around a large lake. I had this road almost to myself with one car far enough ahead not to impede me, but with your video in mind I was attentive to the several blind curves that exit adjacent to side roads and the occasional driveway. Very near the end there is a public dock, a couple of stores and public parking. As I came to the apex of the curve that exits to this public area I saw the car I had been following stopped to allow a truck towing a boat to maneuver onto the road. I was leaned over and had to bring the bike upright as I aimed for open space to the right of the car. I was able to stop with 6-8 ft to spare without too much drama, but if I had been going faster I realize I would have had less time to react while needing more space to stop. Thanks for posting this, Kevin. An excellent and timely lesson. Happy 4th, and cheers!

Touched every continental State. 3 ways to die, I wish that was all. I think I saw an infinite number of ways to die, most of them coming out of the clear blue sky like a sniper bullet. But yeah, you have to do the basic stuff all the time, to give you a chance to survive the unexpected stuff.

Bikes and beers do not mix and I mean any amount of alcohol could be deadly. It's not just being over the limit that is the problem. As a retired police officer in the U.K. I had experience of going to collisions where one or more parties had consumed alcohol and on some occasions they were tested for breath alcohol and came up negative. Of being under a certain legal limit but by their actions it showed that they had consumed some alcohol and any small amount can impair one's cognitive ability and behaviour enough to be a cause of a collision even though that amount of alcohol was not above the legal limit that driver or rider could legally drive home in that state. Several things that drinkers of alcohol don't take into account is the mistaken belief that its ok to have a single drink and be under the limit and as I have mentioned any alcohol can contribute to an accident. It also depends also on the strength of the alcohol in the drink. Most beers many years ago would have been on average about 3.5 % alcohol and that's the strength that the laws were based on for the number of units one could consume before reaching the legal limit but nowadays some beers are over twice that amount of alcohol per unit and therefore just one or part of one can mean that one has exceeded the legal limit without knowing it. Once impaired by alcohol its more than likely that one will end up actually consuming more of it. If one likes to ride and if one likes to drink by all means do both in equal amounts but just don't do them at the same time. Never ever mix drinking with driving or beer with biking. Dive and don't drink or drink and don't drive. They just don't mix and costs lives, sometimes yours but sometimes someone elses and the family loses.

Me too Michael - had one beer, rode home (living in an apartment at the time), went to park the bike up on the sidewalk, and drove right up the stairwell to the second floor before I knew what happened. Scary. I knew riding home that I was impaired so I rode in the slow lane praying. But that one lapse of judgement took the bike in a completely different direction than I expected.

That was a good video. I admit I have been over-riding my brakes on roads I know well, since they are mostly empty and I know the curves. I will have to look closer at which ones I can see through and which ones I can't. I can think of at least three that I can't see through during summer because of foliage, they may not be blind in winter. This is an issue with rural hilly roads and driveways too, which I am very cautious about cresting hills where there are houses because I know people often pay zero attention pulling out of their driveways. thanks for the video.

I agree alcohol and motorcycles do not mix. Had someone close to me tell me years ago that " I ride better buzzed". I proceeded to explain that I am clumsy enough sober, why would I get buzzed and then try to ride something that takes balance to stay upright. He thought about it for a few seconds and then agreed that I was right. I have lost friends from drinking and riding.

Be able to stop in the distance you see to be clear on your side of the road. This may be the most important Highway Code rule, yet I don't recall it being taught on driving or riding lessons. Only once I did the IAM RoadSmart advanced driving course was it nailed into my head. It should be the gospel of safe driving/riding.

Had a similar situation happen to me in downtown Boston. Guy on motorcycle runs a red light, realizes it too late and is about to hit a bus so jams the front brake and slides across the intersection and stops right in front of me and my friend. When we asked the guy if he was alright we quickly realized he was seriously impaired. My friend smartly pull one of the spark plug caps off so the motorcycle wouldn’t start which allowed enough time for the police and ambulance to arrive while the guy was still there. No idea what happened to him but things could have been so much worse if we had let him pick the bike up and drive off as it was still in working order. Great video!

The sad truth is many males have an elevated Testosterone levels - youth plus a feeling of being "Bullet Proof!" I know as a younger male I too had that feeling and many times I learned I didn't. Trying to inform other's, the real cost of our youthful thoughts is a difficult process. Kevin the way you talk to everyone on the dangers and your love of riding is amazing. Your information is a very common sense and friendly. A softly spoken word of advice is well received. At the time of this posting there are (35) people who disagree with you? And to those few, I pray for them because those are the one's who names will appear in the paper as a severely injured or a fatality while driving a motor cycle. Well done Sir! I enjoy your content and like learning new information about not only riding a motor cycle but driving anything on the road.

Stories about alcohol are always excessive consumption cases, I get the point. Personally, I have found that one beer affects my ability to ride safe. I wish it weren't true, I like a beer and a burger for lunch. However, I have crossed the line on curves even going slow, and target destination issues are enhanced. Ride with no ego, or don't ride. Enjoy the ride!

Out here in MO, even when I can see what's around the corner, if the speed stated is 30-40-50 etc. I'm doing that speed before I get into the corner, I dont care if there is a vehicle behind me or not, I'm slowing down to what I know, and hope I know I can take a corner at. yea.. I might be able to take it 5-10 over, and I'm sure the bike can, but out here the rode surfaces can very and I've hit bumps in the corners. Heck once there was a rock sticking up and I hit it with a leg of the center stand while leaning, with the wife on the back, yea.. she wasn't happy, very luckily nothing happened beyond her being a little unhappy at almost getting kicked off. thank you very much for posting these instructional and informative videos and tips. I have anxiety for about 15-30mins almost every time I hop on the bike, just cuz I have anxiety issues, and well somedays I dont know if I want to keep riding or not but watching these and just getting out there I slowly gain confidence. the more I ride I hope the better I become.
