What is the Skilled Rider Course?
Doc's Harley-Davidson is the first dealership in the state of Wisconsin
to offer the Rider's Edge Skilled Rider Course. The Harley-Davidson
Rider's Edge Skilled Rider Course is a motorcycle safety course that
uses the proven curriculum of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation®
(MSF) Experienced Rider Course, with some enhancements developed by
Harley-Davidson enthusiasts. Participants use their own motorcycles
to enhance the following skills; control at low speeds, risk management,
limited space maneuvers, cornering judgment, stopping quickly in a
curve, swerving and stopping quickly, multiple curve maneuvers, and
surmounting objects. |

When are the Courses Held?
The courses are 8 hours long and are generally held
over one day. Weekend courses are normally offered from 8am-4pm on
Saturdays or Sundays. We also have a 2 day weekday schedule that takes

Why should I participate in the Skilled Rider
Course?
The skilled rider course is designed to help you to improve and build
on your motorcycle riding skills in a closed environment. The lack
of distractions and road hazards allows the rider to concentrate on
fine tuning certain maneuvers that they may not otherwise on public
roadways. It is a perfect way to take your riding skills to the next
level, while having fun with other riding enthusiasts. Upon completion
of the course, you will earn a Skilled Rider Course pin and patch
set and a completion card from the MSF that may assist you in getting
possible discounts on your insurance. |

Where are the Skilled Rider Courses held?
All portions of the course are held on the range at Doc's Harley-Davidson
of Shawano County. (18 miles west of Green Bay on Highway 29) |

The course cost is $125. If you are a national H.O.G.® member,
you are eligible for a $50 reimbursement certificate. The certificate
can be used in any Harley-Davidson® dealership for Harley-Davidson®
merchandise, or is redeemable for H.O.G.® merchandise or membership
dues. All H.O.G.® members are encouraged to participate in a riding
course annually, and members are eligible for the $50 reimbursement
on an annual basis. |
