Here at Thunder Mountain Harley-Davidson®, we believe the call to adventure is part of our Northern Colorado DNA. The dream of exploring the Front Range on two wheels is something we live and breathe every day. For so many, that journey begins right here at our Riding Academy in Loveland. We’ve built a program that does more than just teach you how to ride; it welcomes you into the Harley family with the confidence and skills to chase any horizon.
Expert Coaches, Your Local Riding Mentors
Our approach is built on expert guidance in a pressure-free environment. The coaches at Thunder Mountain are more than just certified professionals; they are passionate members of our local riding community. They provide patient, supportive instruction right here on our controlled range in Loveland, ensuring you can learn the fundamentals without the stress of traffic. It’s about building your confidence one step at a time, with a friendly mentor by your side for every part of the ride.
From Classroom Theory to Pavement
Your path to the open road starts inside our dealership. In the classroom, we’ll equip you with a solid understanding of motorcycle controls, safety strategies, and the rules of the road. Then, we take that knowledge outside to our private range. You'll get hands-on experience, mastering everything from turning and shifting to controlled braking. This combination of theory and practice at Thunder Mountain Harley-Davidson® ensures you are truly prepared for your first ride.
The Perfect Harley-Davidson® to Begin On
We want you to feel empowered, not intimidated. That’s why we provide a lightweight, nimble Harley-Davidson® motorcycle for you to learn on. These bikes are specifically chosen for our Riding Academy because their low seat height and easy-to-handle frame help build confidence quickly. By starting on a motorcycle that is designed for learning, you can focus purely on mastering the skills you need to ride any road with comfort and command.
Learning with Like-Minded Individuals
Our classes offer a supportive and encouraging environment where you can connect with fellow aspiring riders. We often see friendships forged during the academy, creating a network of riding buddies for years to come. This shared experience makes the learning process even more enjoyable and can lead to exciting future adventures.
Learning to ride is the start of a lifetime of freedom and adventure. At Thunder Mountain Harley-Davidson®, we are proud to provide the expert foundation you need to get on the road safely. We love being the destination where so many local riders begin their story. Explore our Riding Academy courses online and sign up today to start your journey with us right here in Loveland.
