Rider's Edge®
Life starts at the 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.
The New Rider Course
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 Rider Course Completion Card that could exempt you from the written and/or riding portion of the motorcycle license test, as well as possibly qualifying you for discounts on insurance. But more than that, you'll begin a journey that lasts a lifetime.
