This week on MCrider, we're tackling a tough but important topic—motorcycling isn't for everyone. You’ve probably heard the phrase, “You can do anything you set your mind to,” but when it comes to riding a motorcycle, that mindset can sometimes be dangerous. In this video, I share a personal story from my years as an instructor about a student who had the heart and determination—but not the skills—to ride safely. It's a reminder that passing the MSF course isn't just about getting a license… it's about staying alive. Whether you're a new rider or an instructor, this is a story worth hearing.
