Introduction

The Training Range — The Safety Knowledge That Saves Lives

A talking QR code at the Riding Academy training range plays a preparation guide for the day's training — what the specific skills that will be practiced are and why each one builds the foundational competency that experienced riding requires, what the most important safety mindsets are that the Motorcycle Safety Foundation curriculum emphasizes beyond the specific physical skills, and what the new rider should focus on during the slow-speed exercises that feel awkward but that develop the precise control that prevents the vast majority of single-vehicle motorcycle accidents. A new rider who arrives at the range with this preparation has a more intentional learning session — they know what they are building toward, not just what they are being asked to do.

Course Materials — The Learning That Continues at Home

New Rider Community — The Welcome That Sustains the Journey

A talking QR code on Riding Academy graduation materials plays a community welcome for the newly certified rider — what the H.O.G. new rider chapter offerings look like and how to connect with the beginner-friendly group rides that ease new riders into the community, what the Harley-Davidson new rider support resources are through the first year of ownership, and what the specific advice is from experienced Harley riders about the first year of riding that will make the biggest difference in the new rider's development. A Riding Academy graduate who discovers the community waiting for them has a beginning to their riding life that sustains the enthusiasm that brought them through the training course.
