Skilled Rider Course
The Skilled Rider Course (SRC) is designed for riders that have a minimum of 1 year or 3000 miles of riding experience and seasoned motorcyclists looking to hone their skills. The core curriculum for this class is provided by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation® (MSF) with additional materials provided by Harley-Davidson’s Rider’s Edge® program. The SRC provides critiqued and coached practice for experienced motorcycle riders using their own motorcycles (or, you can use one of our Buell® Blast® motorcycles for an additional fee.)
The SRC is a one day course (8:00AM to 6:00PM) with a minimum of classroom time (expect 90% riding and 10% classroom.) The Rider’s Edge® SRC compliments our New Rider Course and is intended to enhance your skills in the following areas: risk management, low speed manuevers, control at low speeds, stopping quickly, stopping quickly in a curve, multiple curve maneuvers and more.

All SRC students MUST have a valid motorcycle license. You will also need the following:
