Q. My insurance agent said if I get proof
of passing a TEAM OREGON class that I can receive a discount
on my insurance. How do I get this?
A. Your completion card is sufficient for proof. If it has been
more than two years (too late for a completion card replacement)
and less than five years since training, TEAM OREGON can provide
a letter of proof. There is a $15.00 fee for this letter. You
will need to provide us with the date of course, location, your
current mailing address, drivers license number, and your name
at the time you took the course. Submit your written request
and payment addressed to:

Q. Which course is right for me, the BRT
or IRT?
A. The BRT is for beginning riders, and is our most popular
course. This course is designed for the novice rider with no
prior motorcycle experience. If you have your own motorcycle
(or you can use one of ours), are over 21 years old and have
some experience or are returning to the sport, the IRT is most
likely the right course for you. >We provide motorcycles and
helmets for both the BRT and IRT courses.
Q. What is the difference between the RSP
and the ART course?
A. The RSP is a one day practice session for riders of all experience
levels looking to sharpen their cornering, braking and emergency
maneuvering skills under the helpful eye of a professional rider
training coach. Whether you are new to motorcycling or
have been riding for years, Rider Skills Practice will take
your skills to the next level.
The ART course is for experienced and endorsed riders who have
completed the BRT, IRT, or RSP. ART emphasizes the real-world
application of a variety of techniques. By incorporating more
than one corner into an exercise, students can work on smoothness,
judgment, and appropriate "lines" through a variety of corners.
This class is conducted on a go-cart track, but is not a high-speed,
racing-oriented class.
Q. I was offered a Retest.
How do I schedule it and what else do I need to know?
A. To schedule a retest, phone TEAM OREGON @ 1-800-545-9944
the week following your class. Note: you must use your
retest option within 60 days of taking the course. If
you do not show up for a scheduled retest, you may NOT reschedule
for a later date. Students wishing to complete training
or testing after 60 days must register and pay again.
Q. The brochure lists two range times
for the BRT, A & B. How do I choose the one that works
best for me?
A. Group range assignments are made at the first classroom session.
There is no guarantee that you will get the assignment you want.
No exceptions. |
