Rider's Edge® Skilled Rider Course

Regular maintenance and care keeps your bike in top operating condition, what about your riding skill? Take your riding to the next level with the Rider's Edge Skilled Rider Course. Because the more that you know about the road, the more it has to offer. There is a better rider in all of us - no matter how long you've been riding. It's time to get more out of the road, more out of the ride, and more out of yourself.

The Skilled Rider Course is approximately eight hours long, held almost entirely on the range. The Course uses the proven curriculum of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation® (MSF) Experienced RiderCourseSM Suite, with some enhancements developed by Harley-Davidson enthusiasts. Participants use their own motorcycles, or rentals, to enhance the following skills: control at low speeds, risk management, limited space maneuvers, cornering judgment, stopping quickly in a curve, swerving and stopping quickly, multiple curve maneuvers and surmounting objects.

Upon completion of the course, students will earn a Skilled Rider Course pin and patch set, as well as a completion card from MSF that may assist you in getting possible discounts on insurance.
