OMSA MEMBERS PARTICIPATE IN HISTORIC RIDER TRAINING SYMPOSIUM
The
Experienced Rider Training Symposium (ERTS) held May 24 to 27, 2011 in Niagara
was sanctioned by the Fédération
Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) and its Commission on Mobility and
Transportation. The FIM is the Geneva-based world governing body for
motorcycling and motorcycle sport. The ERTS runs every three years and is hosted
by a different country. For the first time in its history the ERTS was hosted in
North America.
This
was an international coming-together of motorcycle rider training professionals,
motorcycle safety researchers and individuals involved in framing legislation
pertaining to the operation of motorcycles. The unique aspect of ERTS is that it
is a “hands-on” experience. Participants travelled from Europe, Asia,
South America and across Canada. OMSA was represented by program
coordinators Jen Roth and Maurice Lambrecht and by Supervising Chief Instructor,
David Cross.
