Life starts at the edge®.

If you're ready to embark on an exciting adventure into the two-wheeled world, look no further.  Rider's Edge® is Harley-Davidson's® Academy of Motorcycling.

Combining the proven curriculum of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation® and the excitement and passion of Harley-Davidson, the Rider's Edge New Rider Course offers unrivaled hands-on instruction that will bring your motorcycling dreams to life and give you the skills and confidence you need to get the most out of riding.


RIDER'S EDGE NEW RIDER COURSE
The Rider's Edge New Rider Course is a mixture of classroom time and actual riding that delivers the basics of motorcycle operation in Harley-Davidson style.  It's taught by experts certified by both the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and Rider's Edge to provide topnotch instruction in a relaxed, fun environment.  After passing a written test and a riding skills evaluation, you'll receive an official Motorcycle Safety Foundation 
Rider Coursesm Completion Card that — depending on your state — may exempt you from the written and/or riding skills portion of the motorcycle operator's license test.  The card may also qualify you for discounts on motorcycle insurance, depending on the provider.  More than that, you'll start a journey that will last a lifetime.
