Rider's Edge® New Rider Course Overview

Never ridden before? Don't sweat it. Our New Rider Course is designed to get you comfortable on a bike and give you the skills you need to ride with confidence.

Offered at Brighton Harley-Davidson®, the New Rider Course provides you with 25 hours of expert guidance from Motorcycle Safety Foundation® (MSF) and H-D® Certified instructors.

In the classroom, you'll get to know the motorcycle you'll be riding and learn the basics of rider safety skills.

On the practice range, you'll learn braking and turning, along with manuevers like controlling skids and surmounting obstacles. When you're finished you'll get a MSF Basic RiderCourse™ Completion Card. Depending on your individual state this card may exempt you from having to take the riding portion of your motorcycles license test and may also score you a discount on motorcycle insurance.

"I wanted to express my appreciation for the Rider’s Edge Course held last weekend. Dave, Brian and you were excellent trainers and coaches. Each trainer’s ability to inform, demonstrate, encourage and teach were all professional and top notch. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn the fundamentals of safe and enjoyable riding."

" I just receieved my certification, and just want to express how much I
appreciate EVERYTHING Tracy and Norm taught, and did for me. I had never been on
a bike before, and all though I have plenty more practice ahead of me before the
open road, I left this course with so much more knowledge and confidence than I
could ask for. They really helped put a dream into action, and I will continue
to ride with them in my head knowing everything i was taught these last four
days will only make my future on a bike that much more amazing.
Everyone, whether they ride or not, could benefit from this program...roads
really would be a safer place. I know its changed my perception of riding and
driving in a car forever! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you again for your time
and helping me to get my start!"
