Riding and owning a Harley Davidson motorcycle is an honor and a privilege. There are some basic tenets that you should remember to keep the ride safe and memorable.

Steps

  1. Step 1 Find a suitable and rideable Harley Davidson motorcycle.
    Not every Harley is suitable for 'cruising' or riding distances shorter than a few blocks or miles. If you really want to enjoy all a Harley has to offer, find a Harley that runs well, is comfortable, and one that you can handle. If you find the bike too heavy, drop down a level or improve your riding skills on another, smaller bike first. In general, the bike "heaviness" runs in the following order, from heaviest to lightest:
    1. Touring. (Includes Road King, Street Glide, Ultra Classic, Limited and Road Glide).
    2. Softail (Includes Fatboy, Heritage, Slim, Deluxe and Breakout).
    3. Dyna (Includes Street Bob, Low Rider, Fat Bob, Switchback and Wide Glide).
    4. Sportster (Includes 883's and 1200's).
      • A note about the Sportster: Some consider it the most difficult to ride, despite its lightness. This is due to its relative unbalance and high placement of the gas tank thus raising the center of gravity. Despite this, it remains one of the most fun Harleys to ride, and is exemplified in carrying the honor of being the longest running production motorcycle in United States history.[1]

Warnings

  • Take a motorcycle safety course if you can. While riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle is possibly the greatest thing you can experience, it can be dangerous. Know how to ride over a piece of lumber. Know how to handle the bike. Join a motorcycle riders club or the "HOG" organization if need be (HOG = Harley Owners Group).[5] You'll meet everlasting friends.
    Thanks
