Harley-Davidson Rolls Out Free Riding Academy Training To U.S. Military

The Harley-Davidson Motor Co. is offering free motorcycle training to all current and former U.S. military personnel from May 16 (Armed Forces Day) through Sept. 13.

The “Learn to Ride” program will be provided through the company’s Riding Academy and is available to active-duty, retired, reservists and veterans.

All stateside military personnel and veterans can take advantage of this offer by visiting a Harley-Davidson dealer or going to h-d.com/militarylearntoride. If the Riding Academy is not available in a particular area, Harley-Davidson will issue a Harley-Davidson gift card for the cost of the certified motorcycle safety program.

Those currently deployed outside the United States can also submit the “Learn to Ride” form by Sept. 13 and receive a voucher for free motorcycle safety training that is good through 2016.

The training program is part of “Operation Personal Freedom,” an alliance between Harley-Davidson and the Wounded Warrior Project that focuses on improving the lives of service men and women who are living with post-traumatic stress disorder.
