    Finished up Day 2 for the HD Rider Course. Never rode anything other than a bicycle before; My hips were sore, I was all over the place and inconsistent with throttle. BUT......After an hour, I stayed off the front brake, trusted the bike and myself more and even Superman couldn't slap the smile off my face 5 hours after we finished for the day

      @michaelyingst4830 that's awesome. I took my bike out a week later learning the clutch on my own. Went and took my permit so I have that now. I'll be signing up for classes with No Cages once weather breaks. I can't wait to get my bike back out.

      Right on, I love to hear it! My favorite thing about moto riding is just hoping on the bike and exploring new roads with out a gps.... wander for a couple hours & only once you’re ready to call it a day, you pull out a gps. I’ve discovered many amazing areas throughout Milwauker because of this!

      Call your local H-D dealer and consult them for details. Not sure how that varies state to state. That said you will most definitely need a helmet, boots, jeans, gloves and a long sleeve shirt.

    How much is a class like this in total?

    • @GenZBiker
      @GenZBiker  5 лет назад +4

      M S Depends on the deals they are running! The retail price is $350 but they often run discounts and promo specials. In september certain dealers offered the class for $99. Prices truly do vary based of time of year and what the dealership is offering. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions about riding feel free to leave another comment!!! 🤙🏼
