When you first begin to think about motorcycles, the excitement can make the idea seem overwhelming. Where do I start? How do I choose a motorcycle? Is it hard? No worries, we've all been there. Gowanda Harley-Davidson® has been helping dreamers just like you since 1947.
You can't ride a website, that's why we started the Jumpstart™ experience. Come see for yourself. No license or prior knowledge needed. During a Jumpstart session at Gowanda Harley-Davidson® you'll throw a leg over an actual Harley-Davidson® motorcycle that is securely fastened on a stationary platform. Our friendly and trained staff will coach you about the controls and inspire you. Then it's your turn! Fire up the bike, roll on the throttle, shift through the gears and know for yourself just how exhilarating riding a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle can be. Caution: symptoms of wanderlust and day dreaming may persist.
Gowanda Harley-Davidson® can then help guide you to the next steps including obtaining a motorcycle permit and enrolling in an area motorcycle training school.
Jumpstart™ is available by appointment at Gowanda Harley-Davidson®. Simply call (716) 532-4584 and ask for Sales. Gowanda Harley-Davidson® also brings the Jumpstart™ experience to several popular festivals.
