What Gear Should I Bring?
- DOT-approved helmet
- Protective eye-wear
- Long sleeves and pants
- Over-the-ankle boots
- Full-fingered gloves
*Note: Its a good idea to bring your gear with you to the first day of class so the instructors can approve it for your safety before riding.
What Will I Be Riding?
You'll be learning to ride on a 500cc Harley-Davidson® Street X350. The X350 is an excellent bike for beginners for two very good reasons... it's very easy to ride and has both a low and high seat to accommodate the height and build of the rider.
What Do I Get from the Riding Academy Course?
The Riding Academy Course allows you to obtain your motorcycle endorsement and takes the place of the written test and the road test. After your completion of the course, you will receive a certificate from Grand Rapids Harley-Davidson® stating that you have successfully passed the written test and the road test. After the completion certificate is awarded, you can go directly to the Secretary of State to have your motorcycle endorsement added to your operator license.
The Harley-Davidson® Riding Academy Course is more personalized and in-depth than the state course. Our objective is to ensure riders are safe and confident on the road.
