IAM (or ELAM around here)


Recommended Posts

I'm curious who of you guys and gals have done the IAM training and test?

As there seems to be a local group literally around the corner (East London Advanced Motorcyclists = ELAM), I'm pondering...


What I hope to get from it:


a) Better riding -- Getting rid of bad habits mainly

b) Meeting other riders in this area

c) Savings on insurance (that's not priority, though a nice side effect)


Most of what I've seen in videos/articles focuses on -sorry- common sense, like positioning yourself for better visibility, giving others a chance to see you etc. I'm sure there's way more to it! Their official advanced riding book is on its way to me; should give me a better idea of what to expect.


Nonetheless I'd be really curious what others think:


What are your experiences with IAM, if you have done it? If you haven't, why not?

Or did you do a different advanced riding course? Which? Why?


Cheers!

doing ours with the Derby group at the moment, thoroughly enjoying it.

can probably get you some feedback on the east London group after I talk to my mate later.

 

That would be really cool, if you get the chance! :3some:

unfortunately our scheduled chat got postponed as his 80 year old mum just had a trip to whipps cross due to a nasty virus :(.

will be sure to ask him next time we catch up

 

Sorry missed your reply here (must have incidentally marked the email read without following up). That's bad news! Hope his mum will be better soon.

No rush regarding ELAM, really. It's irrelevant in comparison!
