The Road America Motorcycle School is designed specifically to
maximize the fun and minimize the risk of motorcycling. With a
pass rate of over 96%, our success rate
is encouraging. However, on occasion, any participant
may have an “off day.” With that in mind, we have created the
Customer Satisfaction Promise. In the event a participant fails
any one of our MSF-designated courses, they will be allowed to
return to retake the full class at a later date for a minimal
rescheduling fee of $100.
Minors
Minors participating in the course MUST have a parent’s or legal
guardian’s signature on our Waiver & Indemnification
Form. You can take care of this in advance by having it
signed by the parent or legal guardian AND
NOTARIZED before the class, or a parent or legal
guardian MUST be present at the beginning of the first day of
class to sign the waiver in the presence of a Road America staff
member. No minors will be allowed to participate without
the properly completed and signed waiver.
Personal information may be
shared by Yamaha on an international basis with its parent
entity, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and such information may
further enhance the Yamaha customer experience and offer
additional productions and/or services that may be of interest to
you.
