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.

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.

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.

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!

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

Thank you for sharing this story, Kevin. This was so inspiring :)

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.

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.

This is the longest time i have ever spent on a single KZfaq 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.

We change lives and save lives by sharing our stories. This was really beautiful and so well told. Thank you so much, Kevin

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......

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!

"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." Tony Evans

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.

Thank you for sharing your story. I was a casual fan but i feel like i know you as a friend.

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.

All of your videos taught me something important about motorcycling. This one inspired me. Thank you.

“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!

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!!!

This was a hauntingly beautiful story! Thank You Sir for sharing!

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.

Thank you for sharing with us. I'm retired Navy, it's all I had. I appreciate your story. You are a great guy, thanks for all you do and sharing your faith, most important of all, Jesus.

I knew it was something special behind that eye! Someone who has a calling, someone blessed! Thank you!

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

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

Thanks for sharing! Found your channel just over a month ago. Took the MSF course, got my class M license, then bought my first motorcycle two days ago. God works in mysterious ways... I'm thankful I found you at the start of my motorcycle journey!

Kevin, I rarely comment on KZfaq videos but felt compelled to do so by your heartfelt story. I was enthralled by your story and life experiences. As I have seen some of your videos, I could never have guessed what you went through. Thank you for what you do with MCrider. God always has a plan for us, we just don’t know what it is. God bless.

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,)

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

Such a moving story, Kevin, I almost had tears in my eyes listening to you. You are a man of a noble and dedicated spirit, thank you and God bless you and your family!

Always had great respect for your ability to share motorcycle safety. After listening to your story, I have great respect for you as a person. Thanks for sharing.

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 KZfaq I have watched in a while.

It only made you stronger brother. Thanks for the story, well worth the listen.

This is what I was taught is a true man! Stand tall MCrider !thanks for your teachings as I am sure lives have been saved biblically and earthly.

You know you're special you already proved that . Mc riding was always therapy for me. Now 70 and still riding. Some people don't understand that it's not a hobby it's a way of life and I have thousands of brothers and sisters. I would never change that if had another chance to. Bless you my brother with the old saying. "Keep it between the ditches"

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 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!

Thank you for your service, Sir. (I spent 10 years as a Combat Engr USAR out in 89). I am thankful that you are doing this work. I have ridden for about 40 years my current bike is an st1100 which, to be honest, was and is a bit intimidating to me and I have found your instruction to be spot on and helpful.

Kevin; All I can say is WOW!!! My personal saying is: "Everything always works out for the better....", it may take 30, 40, 50 or 60 years to realize it, but it does / it will... Louis

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

Sir, You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your story. I saw one of your videos on Facebook. I went to KZfaq 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.

Yup. Me too. Mix a gifted talker with a gifted listener and I’m listening to a long precious story. Thank you.

At the centre of your being is also a love for your fellow man and a desire to serve. And that reaches through in every video you make. No pretense, no overt ego, no hyperbolic statements. Just deeply motivated, heart-felt content enriched by that centredness and peace you get from knowing that you're loved.

Wow! That's a powerful story, I don't know how else to say it. Thanks for sharing

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.

I graduated Bolivar High School class of ‘97. I know quite a few people that went to SBU. Small world. Thank you for your service as well.

It's 4:30 in the morning. Can't sleep. Decide to find new youtube videos on motorcycling skills. Find yours on braking techniques. Find it so interesting and well done that I subscribe immediately after the first viewing. Get hooked and watch 5-6 more back to back. To eventually end up on "that eye" one. Which makes all the videos I just watched even more meaningful. Thank you so much for sharing your story of "that eye" and thank you for helping me being a better rider. One of the things I like best about motorcycling is the technical part. I love learning new skills and improving the ones I already have. Thank you so much for assisting me in that. And thank God you didn't just answer "I got hit by a baseball ball", we would have missed the most important lessons. Isabelle from Canada. Five years rider with 62000 miles under my boots.

As soon as you said "baseball" I was like.... he got hit in the face by a pitch.

Excellent bio. It's amazing what twists and turns our lives take. Awesome garage/studio btw.

Never noticed “the eye” but really enjoyed the story! Your videos have been very informative and while not riding currently expect to soon. Want to keep learning how to be a safe cyclist before starting the adventure. Rode as a teenager of 17 years old and after watching your programs it’s a wonder it didn’t lead to my early demise as every safety rule you speak of was violated. Now at 64 years of age I’m ready to start fresh with a safer experience. Thanks for all ya do!

Loved your story Amen!! 58 year old women just purchased my first used bike , you have built my confidence and knowledge. Bless you!

Thank you so much for that testimonial. When the military ended for me i was lost. Riding gave me what i was missing. i always ride alone, but you have inspired me. Thank you

Kevin. I'm not sure how I happened across your channel; maybe a passion for motorcycling introduced me. I was thoroughly engrossed in your story, and as a now retired British Royal Marine Commando, entirely empathise with your unfortunate accident that cut short such a promising and passionate career. In terms of where you are now, I'm a firm believer that we have to make the most of the cards that we are dealt, and that if that can involve paying back through helping and developing others, it is not only credible but also a calling and personal reward. I'm glad I stumbled across your channel, you clearly hold all of the virtues, ethos and values of your time serving your country and now as a veteran and also demonstrate a shining example of not giving up. Keep doing what you do, and I wish you the greatest of success and happiness. Lee

As a former Service Member I will tell you that Thank you! It takes courage to share our success, but more courage to share our odds. As brother Christ and in Arms, THANK YOU for what you do. God bless you.

I was drawn into your story after you briefly mentioned how you gave your heart to God. I couldn’t stop listening after that. But thank you for sharing your passion and struggles! I’ve been through struggles ( not as abrupt as yours) and needed to hear yours, I think to show me your faithfulness to God in the midst of disappointment. Thank you! It meant a lot!

Thanks so much for the background info on how MCRider came to be. Very interesting. I've had only minimal vision in one eye since birth and have NEVER found it an impediment to doing anything I wanted to do. Very happy you worked through it.

Small world! (Albeit a couple decades later) I joined the army national guard, went to basic at ft Knox, and came back and enrolled at Southwest Baptist University!

From one ex Navy military man to my fellow Army military man, I salute you. Glad that you still serving by providing your motorcycling knowledge. Carry on.

I never noticed “the eye” or payed any attention to this “ ??” , but this I will say…. You’re my favorite advisor on motorcycles…. Keep up the excellent work my friend!!

What an amazing story. We never know what God has in store for us. So many people on this thread are right - You’re absolutely making us all safer and undoubtedly saving lives. It’s great to get to know a guy who impacts my life in such an important way. A video to remember. Much love and thanks.

Just remember Warrior, it's never over. I served and paved the way for many of us who came later. You service is greater than many can imagine, so from a former Marine and now Army soldier I personally want to say "Thank You"; for telling you story, inspiring us to never give up and for what you have given to this country. Hoo'ah

Bless you brother. I just had emergency retina detachment surgery and was afraid I might not ride again. Your story has given me hope and with God's help I'll be back in the saddle again. Thank-you so much. The Lord does move in mysterious ways.

I noticed "that weird eye" a couple of videos ago. It was your stories that kept me coming back. And this one was a whopper. Thank you. Your life could have gone a totally different way with anger and resentment. But it didn't. You could have ruined the peoples' lives around you. But you didn't. You persevered. You are a perfect example of what we all go thru in life and the different roads that we see. If we travel down the wrong road we can always turn around and head back.

Thanks for sharing your story. It is very inspiring. Thanks also for sharing your walk with God and for giving back to the community. Greetings all the way from Melbourne Australia. Jacob on a GS.

What an inspirational story. You sir are a true credit to the human race. Stay safe always and may the force be with you ....always.

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!

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!!

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 this. I needed it today, strangely. You're a great storyteller.

Kevin I rarely make it through full videos on KZfaq. 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!

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

hello @mcrider, I don't think I have ever watched a 33 minutes video that got my attention the way your video did. I am glad you gave us a summary of events that happened in your life than just telling us about what happened to your eye. Thank you for posting this video. you have inspired me. my Regards to Mrs Mcrider for sticking with you all through these years.

Oh Lord... Wow. I'm so very sorry.. WHY do bad things happen to good people? Yeah you're story brought tears.. thank you for sharing your story.. Robert Jr NJ here.. thanks

Solid. Solid. Solid. I'm 67 and the bug has completely taken over as well. I've gotta push through vertigo before I can add a 2 wheeler again...Can Aming it for now. Bless you, brother!

Hi Kevin, Thank you for sharing your experiences before and after your eye injury. I never noticed your eye being dilated before viewing this thread. I was primarily interested in MCrider content. I admire your care and courage to endeavor past this significant injury as this is truly inspirational to me. I am 67, a navy vet and still ride a motorcycle. I have found through your MCrider channel that we chose whether we are too young or old; (or too anything) to continue to achieve or overcome. In appreciation, John

I just wanted to thank you for this video, it really helps me as a person keep focus on what's important.

Greetings from South Africa,well told story,I follow GOD and I don't want to live without HIM,thank you for the video tips,after all the years of riding I am still learning from your videos. Keep up the good work. Blessings

I thoroughly enjoyed this video from a fellow Brother in Christ. My son has just bought his first motorcycle a 2000 Harley Davidson Roadster 883 and I was searching KZfaq for tips on riding and safety to give him instruction to be a safe rider and that's how I found MCrider. Keep up the good work Brother and I am Praying that this new calling will be everything that You have hoped and dreamed of. Best Wishes, Mickey

MC, I'm about your age, 52, I bought my first bike 3 weeks ago on Sept. 9, I've always longed for motorcycles but knew better that in my reckless 20's and 30's, I would not be safe, so I bought a Honda CB300r, a great starter naked bike, easy to ride and have watch as many of your videos as possible, as I know I am mature enough now to drive defensively and safely while enjoying this awesome "sport" as I call it... another thing that touched me was now watching this eye video, we have a lot in common, bikes our age but now the eye... I too was struck by a baseball, I was playing baseball for my High School team, at that time the players took turns base coaching 3rd base, while the head coach was in the dugout. One of our best hitters was up to plate, and a runner at 2nd, I was down the line more than I should and he ripped a line drive at me, I saw it the entire way but my legs wouldn't move it was so fast, it struck my left cheek, shattering the socket, luckily for me, no eye damage and I too now have a plastic implant to support the eye. Well my friend, keep doing what you're doing, and I'll keep watching trying to learn and stay safe. Be well, Jon from Cherry Hill, NJ

I too have an left eye injury. Happened when i was a toddler(4 yrs old) I am now 46 and my eye is in almost the exact state as yours( legally blind) My whole life has been dictated by it in a sense.. I wanted a military career in he worst way especially when friends were serving in Desert Storm. I haven’t let it define me though. I did everything law would allow including baseball,soccer and most of all motorcycles of all flavors. My wife and now enjoy long day trips on our Harley Ultra. You are correct we have a bigger blind spot but with vigilance we over come. Kind of cool to know you are in my boat. The lord works in mysterious ways. God bless brother.

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.

Hi Kevin, Thanks for sharing your story, brother. I've been riding street bikes since I was 16, I'll be 66 this year. I am legally blind in my left eye as well, the eye is fine but the optic nerve is damaged. Two weeks ago I bought a HD Road King Classic, after 20 odd years riding a Honda vfr800. I owned a Sportster before that, so this is my second Harley. It sure is a big difference from the Vfr. Its like learning to ride all over again, especially getting used to the location of the shift lever and the brake pedal. So I have been watching a lot of your videos to brush up on the basic fundamentals. Thank you for everything you have done to build up MCRider, it is a very good channel and I must say I have learned a lot of good information. So take care Kevin, and heres to 5 more years of MCRider, Paul

I did notice your eye, as I am a new follower, your story is sad, but grateful you can see somewhat, and thankful you are here today for all your goodness you share. My nephew had a nasty fall many years ago, has same effect, his pupil is constantly dialated. He has black eyes like little nuggets of coal, so not so obvious. I am sorry for your army career, however I am learning so much from you. I love being educated as much as I can on motorcycling. WE can never know enough. Thank you

Hey kevin, thanks for telling the full story. As someone who has only recently returned to biking after many years lapse i have been enjoying and benefitting from your excellent videos. this is a fascinating story and i guess i wasnt surprised when you got to part where you came to know Jesus. As an ex soldier myself, i have known Jesus for 30 years and been a pastor for 25. But recently have felt God may have something different for me - perhaps connected to the biker world. I am pretty sure God has been speaking to me through your story tonight. thank you so much. (All the way from Nottingham, England ;) )

That was 30 minutes of my life........ that was really well spent!! :) Yes, in the beginning I was wondering why so long, but it all came together, it all made sense. It was in many ways a beautiful story, but in the end it also became a story about riding. We all ride for different reasons. Some just because it is "oool". Some because it is practical. But many of us have - for different reasons - love, soul and stories invested in it, and sometimes it is difficult to put your finger on why it actually matters so much. Your story made me love riding even more, made me love my motorcycle a little more, and life a little more :) Thank you!!

Omg who’s cutting onions. I knew I liked you and this channel the very first time. Now I’m a huge fan. I’ve learned a lot. Today I was humbled to be able to hear your story. May God bless your heart’s desires my friend.

I knew there was a reason I subscribed to your channel. The only motorcycle content channel I am a subscriber to. I have been watching for a little while now, just getting caught up on some videos. I like the way you don't make newer riders feel like they don't belong. I feel that you are welcoming and open to newer riders. Or ones that are returning to two wheels. Thank you for your content and the way it is delivered. God bless you and keep up the good work.

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.

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.

I just got back into riding after a 10 year hiatus. (Goldwing). A rider I just met for the very first time told me about your channel within 5 minutes of meeting him. I owe him a steak dinner ! I have only had time to watch a few of your videos so far but really enjoy and appreciate your channel. Instantly subscribed. God bless and thank you for your service.

I too have a problem, extremely distorted vision and a blind spot in my left eye. your story really helped me put my disability into perspective. Thank you. ! And God Bless you and all the wonderful people that sacrifice every day for my freedom

:) It is a good thing to walk by faith and not by sight, brother!

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.

Your testimony was inspiring for me. After I stood up in church and gave my first ever speech to the public about my my accepting God into my life after 70 years - I had such a sense of freedom. Passion in persons life about anything is what every one needs. Love what you do and others will become caught up like yourself. MCrider is your calling and the honest opinions will only help others. Well done Sir!

Thank you Kevin for sharing your story, it's been a journey for you, with a surprisingly good outcome. I'm 57 and haven't been on a bike in 24 years, after happening upon a beautiful Pearl Ivory Cream and Black 1997 Honda Shadow 1100 ACE in immaculate condition, my WIFE! suggested I buy it! I instantly fell back in love with riding! I had a CT 70 at 9, an ST 90 a little later, a CB 350 when I was sixteen gapping from there to a V65 Magna at 32 which I had for a couple years until now with the Shadow. Being, Ahem, "A little rusty", I thought I would see what I could find to brush up on my skills and, while watching KZfaq videos of Shadows once the weather turned cold up here in Canada, I found mcrider… in the first video I learned something I hadn't thought of before and I've been learning ever since! I want to Thank You for what your doing and, to be truthful was just going to keep watching the videos without buying in, but now I feel compelled to pony up some cash and help you and "the pretty blonde" after hearing this story (even tho I'm pretty leary of buying things on line) So once I figure out a way to do this I'm comfortable with I will, and I plan to spend this winter watching every one of your videos while I patiently wait for spring, change all the fluids, filters, and plugs in my bike, & add as much tasteful lighting to the front and rear as possible. I have a friend who has a lazy eye and unusually he can see equally well out of both and he makes a game out of switching which eye he looks at you with during a conversation, both my wife and I now know to follow whatever one he's using at the time... awesome guy and so are you! Many Thanks and...God Bless! Hopefully sometime we'll "See you on the Road"

Hi bro, I was late in my work so I shouldn't have taken the 33 minutes to watch this video, but man, I enjoyed every second of it! You had the courage and the stamina to overcome the pain and the big disappointment after that baseball accident which ruined your military career. Respect and thumbs up! Thanks also for the courage to share about your faith in all humility. I am a fellow believer and a motorcyclist, so even though I am not an American (I am Swiss), we share the same faith and we are passionate about bikes. God bless you, and keep up the good work, bro! I have now subscribed to MCrider and I am sure I'll enjoy every teaching from you. Shalom.

Oh my gosh, Kevin, thank you for sharing. I knew in the Spirit that I was enjoying your videos for more reasons than improving my skills (I have the same motorcycle background)! Praise God, brother! In His Grip, Stephen

God bless you and your journey to where you are now. Your story is amazing. You have done so much and have worked so hard. After watching every second of this video I’m convinced that there is nothing you can’t do. You are capable of anything you set your mind to. Thank you so much for sharing and for making MC Rider. I have a 1983 Yamaha XV500 Virago that used to be my grandfather’s before he passed away. I’ve been restoring it and fixing it up after it sat in a barn for several years. Just a few days ago I finally was able to hear both cylinders fire up. It brought tears to my eyes as memories of my grandfather sitting on his bike flooded my mind. I can’t wait to get his bike back in action. Your KZfaq channel has been so helpful to give me the knowledge to apply my skills safety while on two wheels. Thank you for your service and again, God bless you!

ONE of the reasons I follow this channel is because I see how passionate you are about teachings us how to be safe on our motorcycles, but also because the ways you keep us interested and your story telling is so good that I think you should write it in a book, it probably wood be a best seller or perhaps even a movie, it's very inspiring. Thank you!
