Riding Together – Safely!
Thunder Mtn. Chapter prides itself on making your safety a priority during all of it's rides and events. This safety page is provided as a resource to its members. Resources selected are from known authoritive sources, such as Harley Davidson, Harley Davidson H.O.G. Handbook and the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF).
Motorcycling is a fun sport! But, like any other activity, it has risks. The reality is that you are exposed and vulnerable; you are individually responsible for making sure you and your bike are ready and safe for every ride. Risk – and how you treat it – is what safe motorcycling is all about.
 H.O.G. 411’s Field Days are held in the lower parking lot of our sponsor Thunder Mtn. Harley Davidson and provides numerous opportunities throughout the year to practice; offset weaves, limited space maneuvers, emergency braking and swerving, among others. For information about chapter field day opportunities or other safety questions/concerns, please contact us at julianc@tmharley.com
 Take your riding to an all-new level with the Harley--Davidson Riding Academy Skilled Rider Course, built on the MSF curriculum Basic Rider Course 2.
