Our classroom is air-conditioned, our bathrooms are clean and indoors, our fridge & pantry are well stocked, our motorcycles are well maintained on-site by certified Harley-Davidson technicians and our coaches are best in class and prepared to get you riding confidently in no time!

Forgot that piece of crucial gear? No problem, it's just a few steps away in our MotorClothes department. Started Raining during your range time? We've got that too.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE CLASS

Get comfortable on a motorcycle before you even walk into your first class. Make the most of your class by getting in the saddle at your local Harley-Davidson^®dealership and trying a Jumpstart™ demo. Getting knowledgeable before your class begins will get you on a bike and feeling comfortable faster.

You’ll mount the motorcycle, set your boots on the foot pegs and fire up the engine under the watchful eye of our trained personnel. And then, sitting comfortably on the motorcycle, you’ll give the throttle a twist and continue to shift through the gears – all while safely and securely attached to the Jumpstart™ platform.
