Group Riding

Our Group Riding Classes are open to the public at no charge as a public service provided by Meredith Harley-Davidson/Buell.

The aim of a "Group Riding" course is to assist motorcyclists in obtaining the neccessary skills so the Joy of Motorcycling can best be achieved for the good of all riders.

In the classroom you will meet new friends and learn about such things as the proper hand signals to use during a group ride, how to organize a ride, conducting riders meeting prior to the start of an organized ride, and what to do in the event of a breakdown or mishap.

DANCING IS JUST PART OF THE FUN WHEN YOU PARTICIPATE IN ONE OF OUR MOTORCYCLE RIDER EDUCATION PROGRAMS.
One of the truly unique aspects of the program is that "smiles generate smiles."
