Live on the EDGE!

Rider's Edge that is :) Have you heard about our Rider's Edge New Rider Course? It's a Harley-Davidson sponsored course that allows you to get your motorcycle endorsement in just 4 days! The class is awesome, trust me. I took it in 2008, but we'll get to that. Let me first tell you a little bit about how the class works.

It's a four day class but it feels much faster than that. The first two days are spent in the classroom (at our dealership) just learning about the bikes, the dealership, and the safety guidelines to riding in general. You will have 2 certified instructors to walk you through every step of the way. The classes run from 6-9pm to ensure that even if you work, you still have time to get to the class. Then the real fun begins.

On Saturday you spend the day RIDING! You start by walking the bike (a 492cc Buell Blast) and move all the way into 3rd gear by the end of the day. Your instructors teach you tips and tricks having to do with safety to ensure you're well prepared for your riding test the next day. On Sunday you'll spend the majority of the morning learning more manuevers and practicing everything you have learned in the past three days. Then, after you are well prepared, you will take your riding test. With all the one on one training you've received, it's not too tough - I passed! And at the end of all this fun, you'll all come back together on Monday night for a pizza party at the dealership and to receive your endorsement...yeah!!

So here's the deal. I took the course back in 2008 without ever having driven a stick shift car. If you asked me what a clutch was, I would have looked at you like you had 4 eyes. But, I felt 100% comfortable from the very beginning. Any pre-class jitters I may have had completely disappeared and I became a riding machine. Every bit of the course made me feel better and better about my abilities. I made some awesome friends along the way and had the experience of a lifetime. And now I have my endorsement! Here's me in all my glory right after passing the class...
