Practice & Learn

With any skill learned, you have to keep doing it to stay sharp. And when it comes to motorcycles, staying sharp and having fun are two important aspects of each ride.

Practice Before You Hit the Road

There are a number of things you can practice in your garage or driveway that can help you get to know your new ride and get ready for the road.

Read your motorcycle owner's manual thoroughly
Strengthen your clutch hand by squeezing a tennis ball or small rubber ball
Memorize where your bike controls are located–fuel valve, choke, ignition switch, etc.
When sitting on your bike, practice setting it on its side stand until you can do it without looking
Work on your motorcycle pre-ride inspection the–T-CLOCS Inspection and FINE-C Steps found in the Rider's Edge® Roadbook or MSF® Basic RiderCourseSM handbook

Once you've practiced and have gotten to know your bike, it's time to rally your friends for an adventure. Use the Ride Planner tool to make it one to remember!

Sometimes it's easier to get the swing of things when you have a little help. With the Share Your Spark™ Mentoring Program through your local H-D® dealer, you'll find inspiration and guidance as you get started riding your H-D® motorcycle.
