| Motorcycle (Class III) Training |
|
Motorcycle safety classes are offered through the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF). You can also contact Oregon coaches directly here. The MSF DirtBike Schoolsm begins with the basics: sitting on the motorcycle, locating and operating the controls, straight-line riding. As students progress, they learn how to ride in circles, make sharp turns and negotiate hills. There are supplemental exercises for more experienced riders. In addition to learning new skills, students also discuss responsible riding practices, including risk management and environmental awareness. There is a section on Oregon laws as well. At the end of the day, students should have a solid understanding of the techniques an off-highway rider must use to stay safe, act responsibly and most important: have fun.
