Team Oregon is #1 ranked in the nation for motorcycle safety course best practices.

All the instructors I've had on IRT, RSP and ART have been absolutely fantastic.
The course in Oregon differs slightly from the regular MSF syllabus, and is geared more towards the type of riding Oregon riders encounter.
The emphasis on the ART is cornering - as a highest percentage of single vehicle motorcycle fatalities in Oregon are due to failure to negotiate a turn. We have great roads here, but a lot of riders don't know how to ride them safely.

I absolutely, unequivocally recommend taking a course with Team Oregon.
If you already have your endorsement, take the RSP (Rider Skills Practice) course.
If you don't, but have ridden before, take the IRT (Intermediate Rider Training) course. It's almost the same content as the Basic couse but condensed into a day, and without the beginner steps (duckwalking etc.) The very first thing you do on the range is the offset cone weave.

Which part of Oregon are you in?
