Motorcycle Awareness Education |
|
| Our
Chapter boasts one of the most active Motorcycle Awareness Programs in
the state. SE Portland Chapter members voluntarily attend drivers' education
classes to help raise the motoring public's basic motorcycle awareness.
Typically these classes are offered to high school drivers' ed classes
but we also look forward to the opportunity of working with Tri-Met drivers,
the AARP's 55 Alive program, and anywhere else where we have the opportunity
to talk to people about saving lives.
This free class runs about 45 minutes in length and has a video presentation as part of the class. If you would like us to come and talk to your group, contact Geoff White. SE Portland Chapter members who volunteer to teach this class have made the roads in Oregon safer for motorcycle riders.This generous contribution to our community has been enthusiastically acknowledged wherever we teach this class. Our members are also active in other aspects of education. Recently an Experienced Riders Course, through Team Oregon was arranged for our members to sharpen our riding skills. Also, our members participate in the Seminar to Train, Educate and Motivate (STEAM) held once a year for all ABATE members. These classes are particularly helpful to members who are considering running for officer positions. We believe that well trained officers help to run the organization more professionally. Want to know about Team Oregon? Contact Geoff White and sign up for the rider skills /safety course today and become a better rider. Slider Gilmore's How to pick up a fallen motorcycle
File a Stop Report if you get stopped Due to the nature and number of questionable stops made by the police in years past and in present time, this form was developed so as to provide those affected parties legal recourse and help in dealing with the police.
