Welcome to the Rider’s Edge New Rider Course Page for Old Glory Harley-Davidson!
We are excited that you have decided to begin your Journey as a Motorcyclist here at Old Glory. We’ve designed our website to make this part of your Journey as easy as possible. You will find a brief description of our New Rider Course on this page, as well as links to our Registration Page where you will find Class Schedules, Class Availability and On-line Registration.
In 2010, Old Glory Harley-Davidson was the Number One dealer in the nation in New Riders trained! Here are a few of the reasons we were Number One:
· We have the best Instructor Staff in the Mid-Atlantic Area– Our Instructors have been hand selected for their experience, their knowledge and their passion for teaching. All of our Instructors carry Maryland State Certification from the Motor Vehicle Administration, National Certification from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF), as well as Rider’s Edge Certification from Harley-Davidson Motor Company. Our Instructors have a combined 90 years of riding experience. Our Instructors are always available to talk with you about the classroom or riding. Plus, they all Ride!
· We provide the Motorcycle for the New Rider Class – Our fleet of training motorcycles consists entirely of single-cylinder Blasts. Each Blast is inspected after every class to ensure reliability and comfort. Blasts feature a low seat height, front disk brakes and predictable clutch and throttle action for easy learning. In addition to the motorcycle, we provide Instructional Handbooks, training materials and bottled water on the range.
· Our classroom is at the Dealership – Being here gives us access to hands-on demonstrations of all motorcycle gear. Plus, learning about the operation of a dealership and the services provided to Riders by all of the departments is a benefit only offered by a dealership training facility.
· Rider’s Edge Students are part of the Old Glory Family – All of our Rider’s Edge students receive:
o Invitations to Reunions and Special Events.
o Discount Coupons for savings before and after your class.
o A certificate for points equal to the cost of your course to be added to your Old Glory Loyalty Card.
o A refund of Rider’s Edge tuition when you purchase a New Motorcycle from Old Glory H-D upon successful completion of the course.
o Rider’s Edge Graduates are invited to special Test Ride Days where Instructors will lead you on the ride of your dreams over the open road!
The Rider's Edge® New Rider Course
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.
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 both the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) 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.
Upon successful completion of the course and meeting MVA standards, you will receive your Maryland Motorcycle Safety Program Rider Course Completion Certificate for your Class 'M' license right here. There is no need to retest at the Motor Vehicle Administration.
Individuals with an out-of-state license will not be issued a Completion Certificate. Out-of-state participants should check with the department of motor vehicles in their home state to find out if they will issue a motorcycle license for a course completed in Maryland.
And now you'll begin a journey that lasts a lifetime.
Because each State may have differing licensing requirements, if your driver's license was issued in a State other than Maryland it is your responsibility to verify that our Maryland State Approved Courses meet your state's requirements to receive your motorcycle license.
