Thanks for the plug.

OH MY GOSH thanks so much for your kind words about my channel!! and i really hope you don't have socks more than 30 years old because that's how old I am :'D

This says a lot about our dear friend Kevin the unselfishness act to say "watch these other youtubers to improve your motorcycle skills, dont just watch me". Thank you Kevin for all you do for us. God bless.

Thanks for the shoutout! I've been a longtime subscriber and fan of yours. Once again, thank you!

Thanks for adding me to the list! I appreciate it and often refer riders to your channel as well :)

Noraly's "Itchy Boots" won't teach us much about improving our riding skills, but BOY as she rides her Royal Enfield Himalayan solo (this time from Patagonia to Alaska), she bravely shares with us unusual road and weather conditions, inter-country travel and how we're all so alike...and different!

Fortnine is AWESOME

Congratulations on 200K, Kevin! Keep up the good, important work.

Don't know Doodle but you and Motojitsu have helped me the most in enhancing my riding skills. Even though I've been riding since the 70' I can still pick up some nuggets from you guys. I watch Jerry Palladino once in a while but he mainly does the big over weight HD's and I like ride most everything but those type of bikes.

I appreciate you giving credit where it is due and shouting out your fellow bothers and sisters! Thank you @mcrider!!

cheers for the 200,000 subs Kevin ! MCRider makes my top five list and gets five out of five !

Hey Kevin, I cant tell you how proud I am to see that you have a sponsor and getting more funding to help you out. I am a former MSF instructor who in the downtime of a major motorcycle maintenance over haul has been scanning RU-vid for great knowledge to learn. Its completely amazing to learn that I follow these 4 guys and may have seen the last young lady as well. As someone once said that a wise man learns from his mistakes but an even wiser man learns from others mistakes. One of the great videos of yours I tell people about is CAN YOU SEE ME NOW on how your lane position and gentle swerving alerts car drivers to motion and makes us VISIBLE with the left turns in front of us and pulling out from side roads into our path of travel, fantastic content ! So I enjoy DDFM a lot to learn what exactly not to do on a bike, and how to pick up on more road strategies. Ryan F9 has an amazing video on Invisibility Training that I tell everybody about besides you of course. I also give kudo's to MotoJitsu who constantly stresses the aspect of shut up and practice, and as well pushes constant learning. Funny but I just bought the ride like a pro video 2 for special just this week.Kevin keep up the stellar work I tell EVERYBODY that rides about your videos and mention the other fellows as well ! What a great group of guys to have associated with each other for all of us bike riders !See ya on the road AmigoWayne

Mototrek - Motorcycle Adventures - FTA Adventures - and this obscure channel called MCrider. A side note: Took a class with "Ride Like a Pro Jerry Palladino" in Detroit years ago with one of his local instructors. Loved it and learned more from it than a month of Sundays practicing in a parking lot alone. I realized too that just because you have ridden for years and put on a million miles there is lots to learn or refresh yourself on.

CanyonChasers is another great resource. He's a talented rider who offers very sensible advice.

You litterally put a smile on my face when you mentioned Ryan FortNine. That channel is awesome. Amazing production value and great info. Everybody go check it out if you haven't already! Edit: not a GoT-watcher, but... yeah, that must be his brother, definitely!

Forty Times Around, As the Magpie Flies, MotoTrek, On Her Bike, Nora (Adventurism)

Aside from your channel I watch Mr. Palladino, Doodle, Fortnine and two guys from England; The Missenden Flyer and Stuart Fillingham regularly and others sporadically.

What I like about your channel is you are the only one who talk common sense and simple advices to rider all it come because of your age and your love for motorcycle and respect to rider, hat off dear Mc rider

Really happy to know that only one I never heard of and not subscribed yet. But I will be checking her channel now! Best of luck to you sir.

Dave Moss Tuning - this is a channel I found recently that I find packed full of information mainly for bike setup, track days etc. he also goes into detail how you should be riding for safety and efficiency . top notch stuff

I mostly follow Adventure riders.. Never had a riding lesson in my life but raced Motocross.. Most of it is just common sense. My Father taught me to be a cautious driver like the way they drive in Germany. They have very thorough drivers training in Germany. Finally took a Ski Racing Maher Clinic that vastly improved my ski racing.. I do follow Doodle simply because she is so enthusiastic.. I thought some of Dan Dan the Fire Man gave some pretty bad advice.. NRA Instructors have very little training.. it does not really mean they are qualified.. I used to be both a skiing Instructor and Windsurfing Instructor.. You can stand on the Hill and talk about skiing all day but you will never get any better with out skiing quite a lot.. I also never had a Professional Truck Driving lesson in my life either started doing that at age 17. Saved money from age 9 till age 12 for my first Yamaha GT-80 .. Deagan38 has a 12 year old kid doing back flips on a Motorcycle... I never knew how to do a proper wheelie in a dirt bike .. flipped one doing a 6th gear wheelie when I was 16 years old was knocked out for 3 minutes.. Just watched a video the other day where they explained you always have pressure on the rear brake and you adjust your wheelie angle with the throttle .. I often share MCrider channel with beginners..

As a newbie to the MC scene, the first person I found was you! then I started looking around and I found Dan Dan the fireman, and doodle on a motorcycle. Both have been so helpful thank you! I plan on looking up all the other things you have suggested like Ryan fort nine Moto jitsu and Jerry paladino he's the man. Thank you for the suggestions but you will always be number one on my 'go to' learn how to be a better MC Rider.

I am subbed to all you've mentioned. Yours was #4 of the firsts subbed to when I came to RU-vid. I like your presentation.

Glad I found your channel. Lots of great stuff for a rusty rider. I took 23 years off while my family grew up! Now I need all the riding tips I can get.

Dan Dan the fireman... I love his channel! I have learned so much from him. When I ride I’m constantly looking for escape routes, and I’ve overall become a more aware & defensive rider. I’ve learned so much from you as well Mcrider!

Hi Kevin, you may be surprised to know that you have followers from different parts of the world including Oman, thank you for helping us improving our skills and road strategy. I followed Motojitsu, Motorman and Fortnine, I will check the rest. I think Mototrek should be in the list, this channel is very useful for adventure riders. Thank you again for helping us become better riders.

For me, Forty Times Around (now FTA Adventures), As the Magpie Flies, TMF, Wheel Stories, Living Off the Slab, MOTOTREK, Boots and Jeans Riders (decent training tips on some of his videos). And, of course FortNine. Also, thanks for turning me on to GotDave? - after watching more and more of his videos, I recognized many of the freeways and roads he was on. Then REALLY recognized the roads. Like real close by!. Met up with him at the Rock Store on Mulholland Drive, and found out he lives 5 blocks from me! Yet another small world moment! Thanks again for doing what you do!

You were my first subscription ever. And still the standard. Your calm, laconic speech is supremely instructive. There’s no quibbles about what you’re imparting.Carry on. You’ve helped me enormously. Fort Nine came soon after. Doodle On A Motorcycle, just recently. I might suggest 40 Times Around. As the Magpie Flys and Gas Works Garage. Gas Works in particular for new riders. Thank you all. I’m a sixty-two year old novice rider. I’ve found your instruction invaluable. Thank you.

Congrats on your accomplishments Kevin. Valuable information

I will check out motojitsu, but I watch all the other channels weekly. Doodle on a Motorcycle is one of my favorites due to her honesty and straight up truth, like most people would never share! Thanks for your videos.

I enjoy TheMissendenFlyer. He does several tours similar to the Ireland your you've been promoting. He also reviews several different bikes. On Her Bike and Forty Times Around are also fun channels to watch. I tend to live vicariously through them since I cannot afford to travel the world on a motorcycle.

5:38 to skip to the good stuff. You're welcome.

Doodle was the only channel you mentioned that I wasn't a subscriber to ( never heard of her) now I am. Thank you Kevin.

Hey thanks for listing all these great RU-vidrs Kevin. I was quite pleased when your list and mine matched up nearly perfectly,as you went through and listed my favorites as well, Jerry Palladino, DanDan, Ryan FortNine, Greg at MotoJitsu, and my newest subscribed youTuber, Doodle. I've been watching all of these almost as long as I've been watching your channel. Doodle I caught on to just last week, and she is great as well. Good content from all of them.

These channels you mention have been staples to watch for me including your channel. So cool to see you mention them in your video. My first motovlogs were rough I’m working on polishing things up on filming while Riding and sharing adds a whole new layer. Keep bringing it👍Talk about motovlog distraction sometime it’s a real thing.

It was great to see a RU-vidr promoting other RU-vid channels. Thanks for your suggestions. I watch 3 out of those 5. I also watch Life at Lean; a British fellow who shares his knowledge of track day riding and another one I like, for entertainment is Yammie Noob. He's in Texas somewhere and although he's not in the same category as MC rider, I would love to see you two guys have a debate about anything motorcycle related. That would be a blast! I'll check out Paladino and Doodle. Thank you!

Awesome vid.. I've always seen Doodle pop up in my feed but nevrr watched her. Gonna check her out indeed

Great intro for all of these other RU-vidrs. I love them all and proud to say I was already subscribed to all of them as I have gotten back into ridding after 30 years of 4-wheeling only. Love all of you that have made me safer as I ride again.

Apart from the channels you mentioned, I'm a big fan of the UK channel Roadcraft Nottingham. They have a lot of very helpful videos on all kinds of mc-related topics. I've learned a lot from that channel. Of course they always ride on the wrong side of the road, but you can get used to that. It's definitely worthwile.

Thanks Kevin. I already followed Jerry and Ryan. There are suggestions that come up on you tube but taking your recommendations will save me time trying to sort out the wheat from the chaff. I’m extremely busy and appreciate any time saved. I love your channel and appreciate your always calm and sensible demeanor. ❤️

Hi Kevin, as a returning rider I've found your channel invaluable for staying safe! Thanks! Ryan fortnine is really brilliant for advice, reviews, tips. But for pure riding inspiration it's hard to beat the positivity of itchy boots!

I have never seen one of Jerry's videos, I have previously subscribed to MotoJitsu but found his "get your knee down" repetitious and he likes the sound of his own voice. I too like Doodle, she provides a different perspective on things. I watch a lot of DDFM but I haven't the time to watch them all. However Kevin, your weekly video and those put out by Ryan are priority viewing and are watched asap, for me the two of you have the best motorcycle content on RU-vid. You should also check out Nottingham Roadcraft.

We love Doodle, too & for those reasons: being open and honest about her experiences which helps and motivates other riders! And we watch your videos and some of the RU-vidrs you shared. Great content as always!

Cool idea for your video this week Kevin, I also like CanyonChasers and Mototrek. Keep up the good work

Congrats on the accomplishment, 200k is no small feat. One day I’ll be able to have the same impact on our community that you do. My goal is to become an MSF instructor and help out on my base with teaching classes.

Congratulations Kevin. Thanks for sharing! God bless.

Great to see you again at a local eating establishment Kevin. My boy and I get a kick out of running into you. Thank you for the gift and we look forward to the next visit. Thanks for all the great videos and the content on your forum. You're doing a great job.

Sharing the knowledge in an informative non competitive manner, great video, coincidentally there were 999 likes, mine kicked it up to 1k, support this channel brothers

Robert Simmons "Paying it Forward". He's a retired New York City Motorcycle Patrol Lieutenant, currently residing in Georgia. He specializes in slow speed motorcycle operations. He's down to Earth, easy going, but very passionate about "preloading and keepin' it loaded".✌🏽👍🏽

THANKS MC all the channels you mentioned It's weird i already subscribe, onather one I like is itchy boots she is traveling around the world on a Royal enfield. Thank you again always looking forward to your videos. Gio

Shadetree Surgeon should have absolutely been added to this list, if only for his "How to be a Real Biker" series of videos. Top notch and totally accurate information. 10 out of 10 skull rings and eagle badges.

I'm happy to say that I watch all these channels every time they release a video even if I don't have a motorbike yet. Hoping to get one soon thou

It’s because of you that I have taken so serious riding my motorcycle, made me a more responsible and conscious rider. The other channels mentioned are excellent, thanks for sharing your passion. Are the baseball hats available for sale?

I can't agree more with your picks! The most surprising to me is Doodle. I absolutely agree with her being in the mix. Her level of honesty can be a valuable lesson for anyone.

I smiled when your list nearly matched my own, but I still consider your sage advice the gold standard. Thanks for being such a reliable source of knowledge for beginner riders (like me).

this video shows your heart to promote other motorcycle trainers on youtube and i appreciate that. Fortnine is the only RU-vidr I have subscribed before watching this video

You are one in a million Kevin. Plugging other RU-vid motorcycle video makers shows your kindness and professionalism. You are a great guy in my book as well as a fellow veteran and Christian. God bless you and your family. Charlie in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee.

Only a great instructor recognizes other great ones. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for those recommendations. I do subscribe to Ride Like a Pro and I watch his videos often. I look forward to seeing these others you mentioned. Keep up the awesome job of teaching us and informing us. 😊

Kevin, you are the best. My motorcycle skills are better and better, each and every time i watch your videos. Now. Omg, you are one great man, thank you. My faith in man kind is positive because of you. A motorcycle mentor to be mentioned. Thank you

Great job Kevin, fantastic picks! Thanks for what you do for US! I keep up with As the Magpie Flys as well.

I admire you giving credit to other rider RU-vidrs. BTW we have 3 intersections with my list. Best regards from Bursa, Turkey.

Waiting for F9 in IMAX.

I've watched all but doodle, guess I have a new channel to check out, thanks MCrider.

Aw Kevin... But.... But... I thought you were the ONLY source for riding tips on RU-vid! In all seriousness though I've been watching you, DanDan and Fortnine and I KNOW for a fact the stuff I've learned (and practiced, and practicedandpracticedand PRACTICED!) has saved my sorry ole butt more than once whilst riding in San Francisco. And just so you know the "why" I haven't hit the *subscribe* button just yet, I'm on a fixed income for now, re-arranging priorities like mad, getting ready for a Route 66 trip... You get the idea. Just hope my big ole THANK YOU! Will tide you over til I can send $omething your way.

Great recommendations, Kevin! And your sense of humour always puts a wide smile on my face. Thank you!

My top 4 are you, FortNine, Revzilla (they're the 800 lb gorilla, but do have some good content), and the Ari and Zach episodes of Motorcyclist Magazine (yes, that era did end but the content lives on). All the rest crowd into the # 5 slot. Dan Dan and MotoJitsu have some great stuff but, IMO, often ramble and need an editor to force them to stay concise and on-point (respectful criticism, not meant as a slight). Thanks for highlighting Doodle. I hadn't really clicked on her as a provider. Thanks for the years of instruction.

I chuckled at the unexpected red eyes at 10:10. Keep up the good work, I look forward to my Friday morning notification from MCRider.

Truly great minds run in pairs Kevin. I watch all the channels you do plus "Got Dave" because you recommended him! Turn to the end of Jan. this year when you were riding that big "GS", count down about 20 comments & read the first comment I ever made to any U-Tube channel. I think it will lighten up your day. God Bless you

Kevin, I have recommended your videos and field guide to countless new riders, both in person and over Facebook. You helped me immensely when I was first starting out.

Hi, Kevin! Don't forget Yammie Noob, the guy who has a full of humor approach to answering some interesting questions, especially those of new riders. And of course there's this texan oldtimer MC Rider that i personally find amusing and very satisfying in terms of motorcycle content. Oh, wait...

Seaflyfisher, a UK based channel is one of, if not the best channel I have come across for road craft and hazard perception. His commentary whilst riding has certainly made me a safer and confident rider. A must watch for those who ride in urban environments.

Age is gnawing away at my brain and body, in my eighties now and started riding a Whizzer at fifteen. I look upon folks like motorman and mcrider as a way to keep my mind active. We are so lucky to have RU-vid and these talented, and wonderful people to teach and entertain us!

I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. Seen a lot of good things. Seen a few Dan Dan the fireman videos, and Ride like a pro. A lot of great content on all. I think I seen Doodle on one of Ride like a pro videos.

Thanks Kevin, you and all the channel’s you mentioned have helped me! I’m a new rider... and over 50!! Better late than never! Thanks for helping me ride safely!!

I have watched the first 4 since before I started riding, and recently found Doodle. I frequent DDFM and MCRIder almost daily and was inspired by y’all. Hope to be able to link up and ride with you one day Kevin as I think that would be loads of fun!

Definitely a good list. I am sure there are a few others out there like Mototrek but this is your list. Not mine. ;) Channels like yours really help the community but unfortunately, all the squids won't watch these videos. Too many of them are wrapped up in their own world from bad influence. The least we can do is attempt to teach newer riders how to do everything safely. 95% of the motorcycle related content are a bunch of dude bros speeding in groups, talking to themselves for 15 minutes, clickbait booties, or "Top 5 Reasons Why This Is Better Than This" nonsense or flailing their arms like a muppet towards a car (after entering into their blindspot). Thank you for everything you do!

I watched all of those channels and you, MC Rider, prior to getting my first bike. I'm grateful for the training and the insights, your collective information made my decision to become a motorcycle rider a lot easier.

Kevin, shouting out to others is such a cool and helpful thing to do for us viewers, and says a lot about your character and motivations. This made me subscribe to you!

Well I watch 4 out of the 5. They and you have all helped me in my motorcycle journey. I’ll have to check out FortNine. Thanks for the great videos.

Kevin, glad you posted this video. I have been watching for at least the last two years. I watched an entire year before taking the basic rider course then buying my first bike, a 2009 Suzuki C50. I continue to watch to keep up my skills and am excited to see that the other channels I watch for that purpose are suggested by you. You and DDFM make me want to be an instructor. Keep em coming and see you on the road. - Respect from San Antonio, TX

Thank you for all the quality content that is put out on this channel. I am a very new rider and what I have found here and on all the channels you mentioned is truly priceless!

Thanks Kevin! Another awesome video. And Congratulations on 200K. I’ve added Ryan FortNine to my watch list.

I’ve been on my Heritage Classic 114 since June after a 30 year break. MCrider has and is a valuable resource for me as what can only be described as a new rider, at 65 no less. I follow all the channels you highlighted except for Motojitsu, and I’ll check him out. Another great motorcycle RU-vidr is Robert Simmons and Be the Boss of Your Motorcycle. Robert is a retired NYPD Highway Patrol lieutenant in a similar vein as Jerry Paladino. He’s an outstanding instructor. Safe riding, all.

I am as new as they come, waiting for the course to get my licence so I can go on the road legally with my new dual sport! I watch all these people to get ready including your channel! Thank you for such good work!

Ryan F9 is AMAZING - and not just his rigorously-researched videos where he tests things and gives tips. His REALLY cinematic stuff appears in his more philosophical ones. I think the one entitled "Crossing Canada's Only Desert on a Yamaha TW200 - 2018 Review", is a bloody masterpiece. There are many more. And, he even did an interesting review of the Super Tenere, one where he kinda hated it, and then grudgingly came to like it, as he saw that, indeed, it was not the master of anything, but was good at everything, including being shockingly good on fire roads and off-road. Your channel and his are my favorites, and like you, I stop whatever I'm doing when a new video of his comes out.

As the Magpie Flies!

Thanks Kevin, I have been watching most of the folks you mentioned. I have not heard of Doodle but will take a look for her content too now. For those content providers I have watched, I think you nailed their strengths and focus areas. Thank you for all you do.

How selfless to recommend other people. You're the man

Among the 5 suggested channels i did not know about Doodle, i will surely watch her videos. I watch videos from all the others, even if rarely the Palladino's ones, are good, but i am not so interested in the big bikes he rides. Among other channels that i suggest, beyond Yammie Noob, that is a great entertainer, Motorcycle Adventures, by Pavlin, a Bulgarian guy living in Germany (the channel uses english language, don't worry) that is mainly oriented on long distance adventure trips. A lot of common sense there, some very honest and useful reviews of bikes and accessories, A LOT of tips about riding long distances and traveling, some instructional video about how to ride, but is not very focused on it. And the vlogs of his travels, he has been to India and Pakistan, Mongolia, Australia and a lot of other places in Europe and outside it. He sells also some books he wrote about long distance trips and how to deal with them. I used to watch Itchy Boots channel, lately i do it way less. If i feel to watch vlogs about long trips around the world i find Pedro Mota's channel more interesting, even if he lacks of the beautiful blue eyes Noraly has (LOL). I find him more real, genuine. But i suppose is only a matter of me and my personal tastes, nothing wrong about Itchy Bots. MotoTrek has some very interesting videos about how to ride offroad with big heavy bikes, and top notch video quality, for instructional videos about light dirt bikes and how to ride them i like Megs Braap channel. Watching both i learn a lot for my bike that is something in between, not powerful and heavy like those big BMWs and KTMs, but also not so light and agile as a proper dirt bike. There are few other channels i like, but those are the main ones i follow.

Oh I do like Gas Works Garage also. Very chilled and good solid advice

Jerry Palentino is a great resource and one of the best instructors around. DanDantheFireman, or DDFM is definitely one of my favorites for breaking down riding accidents to see what went wrong and how riders could have done things differently to avoid crashes. Yeah Ryan Fortnine is a hoot to watch and that voice of his is just classic. Yup Motojitsu, so far Kevin you've hit four of my favorites. Just yesterday I saw him bring up one of the biggest points that as a driver I've taken issue with here in california. His point was basically that while lane splitting, car drivers are not obligated to move out of our way. A point I think every rider, and every driver should have drilled into them. I have to admit your final channel surprised me as I've never seen her stuff. I'll see about checking out her stuff in the near future. Thanks for all the recommends Kevin.

MC rider thanks for the videos. I stumbled across your page about a year ago and have watched ever since. I have been riding for 20+ years and have rode always with a helmet but that has been about it as far as protection. I just never really gave it a second thought. Then April 2019 I was driving my truck and seen a very bad accident take place about 3 or 4 car lengths in front of me. I must admit it made me a little nervous when riding. I have since purchased full riding gear from Revzilla and after watching several of your videos I have learned a lot of things that I never knew before. Looking back I can say the accident that i seen could have been avoided with some simple lane positioning choice. Anyway thanks for the videos and all the information. I tell every rider that I know about your channel and suggest they watch.

Agreed! Great list. For me Ryan F9, the pride of the Canadian Great White North, is certainly a favourite. And Doddle is great because of her transparency and youthful exuberance. For the pure joy of motorcycling adventure and growth of a rider the channel Itchy Boots is TOP notch. Oh, there is this dude , M C RIDER, he is pretty good.😉

i watched all 5 channels before yours is the newest i found and i think i found your stop and go videos very informative i heard here and there in videos and on books people talking about rear brakes and stability for stops but only in your channel i found very instructional videos about how to stop correctly without losing balance

Awesome content with great reference. I watch and study them all. I recently took the Ride Like a. Pro class with Jerry. With some appropriate changes now made to my bike I continue to practice my technique from him and Mojitsu. Great references. You guys are life saving. Continue the great work.

Your list is awesome and I am currently subscribed four of the five that you mentioned!

I also have picked up Gas Works Garage. He has a real world and new view of riding. From Yakima Washington.

Thanks so much Kevin...you introduced me to one I wasn't aware of, Doodle...I'll check out her channel. I follow Cruiseman for maintenance tips on my soon to be 2020 Goldwing (Getting it the end of this month). Stay Safe!
