Both my sons, can take the HD Riding Course for free in 2016.
One's a Veteran, one's a Flight Medic.
I have mixed feelings about them riding, but the course will prepare them to make that choice.

Thank you, Harley!

 

It's a pretty cool program but I THINK it only includes current, active Vets and not past Vets. That's where it falls short, IMO.

 

Pretty sure it covers veterans:From Sauk-Prairie HD: RIDING ACADEMY CLASSES FORMING NOW!

If it includes all Vets, I stand corrected and I apologize. But I did say "THINK" because I wasn't sure but now days, it's ususally only active Vets.

 

Active Vet? Never heard of active duty being called a vet. It is usually when they are no longer active they are referred to as "Vet".

 

Takes vets for sure. I separated from US Army in 1990 and only needed was dd214 to show. Saved 250 bucks too. Well worth it. Thank you Harley Davidson.

 

If you are currently active. It is required to take to be able to ride in base. So it kind of moot to some.

 

But really useful for others. When you're 20 and getting that first motorcycle, you gotta have that course!

 

Tagged for later. Wife is an EMT and is about ready to get her first bike.

 

I am a Riding Academy Rider Coach and can verify it is available to all veterans current military former military and those first responders as well. ie Fire Law enforcement and medics. My classes start in April unless the weather clears up sooner. Thanks for sharing!!
