Never ridden before? Don't sweat it. The Harley-Davidson® Riding Academy New Rider Course is designed to get you comfortable on a bike and give you the skills you need to ride with confidence. Offered here at Harley-Davidson® of Glendale, the New Rider Course provides you with expert guidance from H-D® certified coaches. 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 maneuvers like controlling skids and surmounting obstacles. When you're finished you'll get a completion card. Depending on your individual state this card may exempt you from having to take the riding portion of your motorcycle license test and may also score you a discount on motorcycle insurance. Ask your H-D® dealer and insurance provider for details.

You may have heard people say that there's nothing like being on a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle. Now, you can find out for yourself - even if you have no previous experience with motorcycles. The Harley-Davidson® JUMPSTART™ Rider Experience combines a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle and a specially-designed, stationary support stand. No knowledge or previous motorcycle experience necessary. Motorcycle will not tip over. You'll mount the bike, set your boots on the foot pegs and fire up the engine under the watchful eye of trained personnel. Give the throttle a twist and hear that unforgettable Harley® sound. Sitting comfortably on the bike, you'll continue to shift through the gears - all safely and securely attached to the JUMPSTART™ platform. Ready to try it out?

H-D® 101 is an introduction for anyone interested in riding. We know there are a ton of questions about how to get started, and we want to make it easy.
