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.

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 RiderCourse^SM Completion Card and Wisconsin waiver that will exempt you from the riding portion of the motorcycle license test (in Wisconsin), as well as possibly qualify you for discounts on insurance. But more than that, you'll begin a journey that lasts a lifetime.
