THE 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® (MSF) and Rider's Edge® to provide top-notch instruction in a relaxed, fun environment. After passing a written test and a riding skills evaluation, you'll receive an official MSF RiderCourseSM Completion Card that may qualify you for discounts on motorcycle insurance, depending on the provider.

The course is conducted over four days, beginning on Thursday. All sessions are mandatory, so make sure the course will work with your schedule. Times are as follows:

Thursday:5:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Friday: 5:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Saturday: 7:00 am - 5:00 p.m.
Sunday:7:00 am - 5:00 p.m.

The Thursday & Friday evening sessions will be comprised of classroom work in the Eastern Shore Harley-Davidson dealership. Saturday and Sunday, you will spend most the day on the range, putting into practice the skills you studied in class. Range work will be conducted at Eastern Shore Harley-Davidson. Testing and graduation take place late Sunday.

To take the course, you need:

  • To know how to ride a bicycle
  • A valid automobile driver's license or learner's permit
  • Jeans, over-the-ankle boots or shoes, motorcycle gloves, a heavy long-sleeved shirt or jacket.
