Harley-Davidson® Rider's Edge®
Even if you've never swung a leg over a motorcycle before, don't worry. The Rider's Edge® New Rider's Course is designed to make those new to motorcyling feel comfortable and to give you the knowledge and skills you need to ride with confidence. All you need to do is show up—we'll even provide the bike!
Combining the time-tested curriculum of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation with the passion of Harley-Davidson, the Rider's Edge® New Rider's 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 Rider’s Edge® New Rider Course is:
- Offered at selected Harley-Davidson/Buell dealerships (like Shiawassee Harley-Davidson).
- Taught by Harley-Davidson certified Instructors using the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s® Basic Rider Course Curriculum.
- Indoor and outdoor learning. We spend just enough time in the building to pass along information necessary for the safe operation of your motorcycle, then we go outside to pick up the skills you’ll need to get ready for the road.
- When you successfully complete the Rider’s Edge New Riders Course, you will receive a Skill Test Waiver. Complete the Secretary of State written test, turn in your skill waiver, and you are a licensed motorcyclist.
- The best training vehicle. The Rider’s Edge® New Riders Course uses the Buell® Blast®, a real motorcycle that handles, accelerates and stops well enough to ensure a memorable learning experience.
- The whole experience. Find out about all aspects of motorcycling from the people who live it. During and after the course, you’ll have the support of the enthusiastic staff at Shiawassee Harley-Davidson.
- But more than all this, you'll begin a journey that lasts a lifetime.
