Rider's Edge® New Rider Course
Learn to Ride On Our Bikes!
READ BEFORE REGISTRATION
If your driver's license was issued in a state other than Maryland, and because all states have their own licensing requirements, it is your responsibility to verify that our Motorcycle Safety Foundation and Maryland State Approved Courses meet your state's requirements to receive your motorcycle license.
Please note; YOU MUST ENTER YOUR NAME EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS ON YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE. Include both your first name and middle name (if applicable) in the "First Name" box, leaving the "Middle Initial" box empty. Enter your last name, taking care to fill in the "Suffix" box if you are a Jr., Sr., II, III, IV, etc. (For example, if the name on your license reads Robert William Jones, add Robert William in the first box, leave the second box empty, and add Jones in the third box.)
Payment with an American Express®, Discover®, MasterCard®, or Visa® credit card is required to complete online registration. Payment with cash, check, debit or check cards must be made at our dealership.

Welcome to Rider’s Edge®, the Harley-Davidson® Academy of Motorcycling. Whether you're a two-wheeled novice or a seasoned road veteran, we can help you take the ride of your life.
Combining Maryland's Approved curriculum that meets or exceeds the standards established by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation® with the passion of Harley-Davidson, the Rider's Edge New Rider Course offers hands-on instruction and real-road experience that can teach you the skills you need to get the most out of riding.
The Rider's Edge® New Rider Course
A proven blend of classroom instruction and range riding, the Rider's Edge New Rider Course delivers the basics of motorcycle operation in Harley-Davidson style. You’ll learn from devoted instructors certified by the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA), the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) and Harley-Davidson® to create a relaxed, supportive environment that fosters camaraderie and confidence. After passing a written and riding skills test, you'll receive a Maryland Motorcycle Safety Program Completion Card which may qualify you for discounts on insurance. If you meet the MVA's licensing standard, you will also receive a Motorcycle Safety Program Motorcycle Rider Course Completion Certificate for your Class 'M' license. You do not need to go to the Motor Vehicle Administration to be tested. But more than that, you'll begin a journey that lasts a lifetime.
