Rider Training

Welcome to Rider’s Edge® the Harley-Davidson Academy of Motorcycling. Whether you're a two-wheeled novice or a seasoned road veteran, we can help you take the ride of your life.

Combining the time-tested curriculum of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation® with the passion of Harley-Davidson, the Rider's Edge New Rider Course offers hands-on instruction and real-road experience that can teach you the skills you need to get the most out of riding.






A proven blend of classroom instruction and range riding, the Rider's Edge New Rider Course delivers the basics of motorcycle operation in Harley-Davidson style. You’ll learn from devoted instructors certified by both the Motorcycle Safety Foundation® (MSF) and Harley-Davidson to create a relaxed, supportive environment that fosters camaraderie and confidence. And after passing a written and riding skills evaluation, you'll receive an MSF RiderCourseSM Completion Card that could exempt you from the written and/or riding portion of the motorcycle license test, as well as possibly qualify you for discounts on insurance. But more than that, you'll begin a journey that lasts a lifetime.



To take the course, you will need:

To know how to ride a bicycle,
A valid automobile driver's license or learner's permit,
Jeans, sturdy over-the-ankle boots or shoes, full-fingered motorcycle gloves, a heavy long-sleeved shirt or jacket and protective eyewear, and
A DOT-approved helmet (if not provided).
 

You’ll be riding the 492cc Buell® Blast®, a light easy to handle sportbike with a rider-friendly design that will have you feeling in control.



The New Rider Course costs
$295 per person, which includes the use of a Buell® Blast®, plus a shopping spree and 20% OFF any MotorClothes® merchadise purcahse.
 

The course is held over 4 days, from Thursday to Sunday Evening. All sessions are mandatory, so make sure the course fits into your schedule. Times are as follows:

Thursday: 5:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Friday: 5:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Saturday:8:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
