Harley-Davidson Riding Academy Creates Active Pilots

Matt Levatich, Managing Director of Harley Davidson, said Riding Academy trained over 19,000 riders in the third quarter. Now the total is 51,000 units. The Harley Davidson Riding Academy expands the attractiveness of new pilots and is an essential part of the company’s strategy said Matt Levatich, President.

One of our key goals of the Harley Davidson Riding Academy is to improve its effectiveness in creating active pilots. In this way, sales of motorcycles increased by two digits compared to the previous year. Harley Davidson recorded a 2.04% increase in profit and a fall in sales in the quarter, although the results exceeded expectations. Earnings per share were 40 cents, down from 64 cents last year. Milwaukee company’s sales were $962.1 million, down from $1.09 billion last year.

    H-D school says “Learn how to pilot a motorcycle” Reason why i guess Cyril used Pilot instead of Rider.

    Watched F1 all my my life. Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart and Bruce Mclaren were drivers.

    The Definition of a pilot is ,” a person who operates the flying controls of an aircraft”

    Look up your Oxford or Cambridge dictionary .

    I guess no one on here ever called their bike a Sled or Scooter. I think it’s great that HD is doing training classes.

    Polaris Indian, take note. Riding classes on a 500cc Warrior Indian motorcycle would be a great way to get new riders into the Indian fold.
