Milligan Posted November 12, 2011 Author Posted November 12, 2011 Been passed a couple of months now and still using 'the system' without the pressure of asessment and upcoming test its fantastic just to bimble along in a more relaxed mode and taking advantage of all the stuff you learn. I am certainly quicker now but also much, much safer with a heightened sense of awareness about everything. Quote
Milligan Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 Just a little update.......Been riding through the winter and its been excellent the last few weeks with dry roads galore. I've noticed now that since passing in September I am a lot quicker, not necessarily faster, in that everything is much smoother and my confidence has improved significantly, particularly getting the bike over in corners, its a long way down on a Tiger! Doing the IAM training really is worth it, I'm pondering on trying to become an assessor with YAM, thats if they get any associates to train........ Quote
Katie Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Sounds good I'm back on with my training now, finding it really helpful but I'm still super slow around tight bends in 30s and roundabouts. Quote
mattycoops43 Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 I have always wanted to do this and it sounds great. Just getting back on the road now after a long break, I think it's probably the perfect time for me to get into it, once I have got a few weeks riding under my belt so I am a bit more 'up to speed' as they say.Matt Quote
iiisecondcreep Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 I've now signed up to do a BikeSafe course, its in July My OH wants to then do ROSPA, I'll probably do the same as him Quote

Find a smooth quiet large ish one & go round & around & around, will build your confidence in yourself & your bike. Quote
MVPilot Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 All advanced riding is worth doing, bike safe / blue riband/ i.a.m etcI did the Blue riband instructor course some years back when I instructed, we did a very intense 4 day police course down south with the coppers, did some great riding, also over speed limit stuff which was great as we were riding with the bill and them radioing to other units that they are having a bit of fun so ignore 2 sportsbike riders giving it rice.. I still practice and help out mates now and then, we generally helped out either newish riders(6-12 months exp) or born again or mature riders that wanted to hone in on skills.You learn everyday so any type of advanced skill is worth it.
