Road America Introduces New Motorcycle School
Elkhart Lake, Wis., April 12, 2007 – Road America has announced the creation
of its Road America Motorcycle School. The Road America Motorcycle School is
endorsed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) and the Wisconsin
Department of Transportation (WisDOT). Successful completion of the school’s
basic rider course enables participants to obtain a Class M endorsement on
their driver’s license from the WisDOT.
Two MSF-designed courses will be offered by Road America: the Basic Rider
Course (BRC) and the Experienced Rider Course (ERC). The BRC consists of 16
hours of combined classroom and practical riding instruction. Participants in
this course learn basic riding techniques along with important safety skills
to minimize the risks of motorcycling. Participants will use Suzuki GZ250s
which are supplied by Road America. The course fee is $250.00. The ERC
is for riders looking to sharpen and build on the skills learned in the BRC.
It consists of one hour of classroom and five hours of practical instruction.
Riders must use their own motorcycles. The course fee is $125.00. Road America
provides the instruction for both courses in its controlled, off-street
environment. The courses are offered April through November. A current
schedule of courses is available by calling Road America, 800/365-7223, Ext.
2010.
The schools will be taught by rider coaches who have been trained extensively
by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. Since March 1973, the Motorcycle Safety
Foundation has set internationally-recognized standards of excellence in
motorcycle rider education and training. The MSF works with the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), state governments, the military
and other organizations to improve motorcyclist education, training and
operator licensing. Located between Green Bay and Milwaukee in Sheboygan
County, Road America is a 628-acre, year-round motorsports facility entering
its 52nd race season. In addition to major race events, Road America offers
the Suzuki Supermoto School; weekly test days for karting, supermoto and
motorcycles; corporate ATV, karting, and geocaching programs; and
top-of-the-line hospitality. Special promotions are held throughout the year
and can be found on-line. For more information visit www.roadamerica.com
