Riding Academy
NEW RIDER COURSE
WHAT TO EXPECT
When you take a New Rider Course at the Riding Academy you’ll:
- Learn to ride on a genuine Harley-Davidson® motorcycle! Our fleet of Street 500 motorcycles
is serviced by our factory-trained technicians. - Get in-class and on-range instruction from Motorcycle Safety Foundation® (MSF) and H-D® Certified Coaches.
- Learn to safely accelerate, shift, brake, and turn, along with maneuvers like controlling skids and surmounting obstacles and get more time in the saddle than the regular state-run classes.
- Earn an MSF Basic RiderCourse SM Completion Card, which exempts you from the riding portion of your license exam and may score you a discount on motorcycle insurance.
