Prepare Before You Go

Before heading to a dealership for a test ride, take some time to prepare. Dress appropriately in gear that ensures safety and comfort—think helmets, jackets, gloves, and riding boots. Bring your valid motorcycle license and any necessary documentation the dealership might require. It’s also helpful to research different models beforehand so you know what features are important to you.

Pay Attention During the Ride

When you're on the test ride, focus on how the motorcycle performs under various conditions. Note how it handles corners and accelerates on straightaways. Pay attention to braking performance and overall comfort during longer stretches of riding. These details are crucial in determining if this is the right bike for you.

Ask Questions Afterward

Once you've completed your test ride, don’t hesitate to ask questions at the dealership. Inquire about maintenance schedules, warranty options, and any additional services they offer at Riding High Harley-Davidson. Understanding these aspects will give you confidence in your purchasing decision.
