 SHARE THE EXPERIENCE!
Motorcycling
is about freedom. It's the freedom of an open stretch of highway with
the sun at your back and the wind in your face. It's the freedom of
traveling light, a graceful curve on a winding mountain road, and the
camaraderie of our fellow riders. It's why we ride. You can share your
enthusiasm and give something back to motorcycling by becoming a TEAM
OREGON rider training instructor. Every year new riders of all ages
and backgrounds enter the sport. These future riders depend upon the
wisdom and experience of more seasoned riders--like you!
LEARN NEW SKILLS!
TEAM OREGON's instructor training gives you the skills
needed to safely usher the next generation of riders into the challenging
world of motorcycling. During instructor preparation you'll learn how
to recognize and respond to students' needs, both in the classroom and
on the range. These training methods yield a rewarding benefit- instructors
frequently report a marked improvement in their own personal riding
skills! It's really true- "The More You Know, The Better It Gets!"
