New Rider Course

A proven blend of classroom instruction and range riding, the Riding Academy 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® and Harley-Davidson® to create a relaxed, supportive environment that fosters camaraderie and confidence. After passing written and riding skills evaluation, you'll receive an MSF RiderCourseSM Completion Card that will exempt you from the riding portion of the motorcycle license test (mass licensing), as well as possibly qualify you for discounts on insurance. (This course also fulfills the Rhode Island licensing requirements.) But more than that, you'll begin a journey that lasts a lifetime. This is the best way for new riders to learn to ride a motorcycle!

The seat height of the Street 500 is 28.3". We have a limited number of shorter (26.8") and taller (29.5") seats. If you are of smaller (under 5'2") or taller stature, please come in and check to see that you safely fit on our training bikes.

Although we strive for everyone to be successful, TAKING THE CLASS DOES NOT GUARANTEE PASSING THE CLASS!
