Enhanced Rider Scheme?

[YamahaWolf]

Has anyone completed ERS? I am considering doing this, what is involved, what are the benefits?

Think of it as a slighty modified DAS.

if you want to enhance your skills consider enrolling withyour local IAM or RoSPA group.

I did it back in April. It was a two day course run out of Silverstone by BSM but they've sold off their motorcycle training business now.

I found it quite useful, I'd only been riding for four months so I appreciated the chance to get a bit more training in certain things like road positioning, counter-steering etc. without the pressure of a licence test. It is quite hard to fail the ERS and there are different levels of passing. Perfect riding gets you an A, whereas I got a B.

I also did get a reduction in my insurance, but not all insurers seem to have this scheme on their lists. The level of pass has no bearing on the level of premium reduction.

I am definitely considering doing the RoSPA thing too though.

Thank you for the informatio, I think that I will definately go for this course.

i've done IAM and recommend it, but depends on group/assesor.. you can go on a free assesed ride before joining, to see if it suits..
