Learn to Ride

Rider's Edge®




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 helmet that meets DOT specifications (loaner helmets available).


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
$249 per person, which includes the use of a Buell® Blast®

When signing up for a course you'll receive a $50.00 gift certificate that can be used anywhere in the store.

Check out our Garage Party! The Garage Party event is a social gathering designed to be held at a dealership to give potential female riders exposure to the Harley-Davidson motorcycling experience and connect them with other women who share the same interests. The party is not for women who already ride. Fundamentals such as how the controls work, gear, model differences, and H-D jargon are discussed at the parties to help women feel more comfortable in the world of motorcycling.
