I know a few on here have done it and others have considered it.

I've registered.

Highly recommend this to anyone who is considering going through with the advanced route.

[Rossgo]

Really haven't you already done the IAM test?

[Kwacky]

Me? Nope. Not had any IAM training.

I've been put off this by the feedback i had from a colleague who went with the local group.

He reckoned they were fine on the training but went out for a long ride with them later and they rode like complete pillocks.

[Kwacky]

IAM in general or the hour long taster session?

[Rossgo]

I thought you had my mistake Kwacky!

[Kwacky]

No mate, I'm just naturally gifted on a bike................

IAM in general.

He did the whole course with them then went on a trip afterwards and said they rode like complete twats and were dangerous.

Fwiw most I expect that most IAM members are people who pride themselves on striving to ensure that they drive to a high standard. So I would expect them to be better than average riders/drives.
I don't recall ever seeing any IAM driving/riding badly.
However.....
I have met plenty of them who have proved to be total & utter pratts.
That is not to say that all of them are. I suspect that the "claim to superiority" simply attracts a certain "type".?

Why not indeed, I have filled out the form, an hours taster sounds interesting.

[Kwacky]

Shall we get matching Hi Viz POLITE jackets?

[Frankie]

BOG OFF !

[Frankie]

What I mean by that is we should have buy one get one free, oh wait it's a free tester ! doh!

No you can keep your polite hi viz

Anyway I don't think any of these hi viz vests work to be honest, people who don't see you really do not see you, you could be dressed up in a bright pink bear suit they still won't see you.

How often have I seen ambulances and police cars with light and sirens going, and cars not even knowing they were there what hope is there for a small little hi viz with some twatty polite bull written on the back of it

Don't be daft Duke, that looks nothing like Fkkr1s.

FYI I did get a snap of him wearing his brand new new one-piece the other day though, Hth.:

[Frankie]

Ha ha..... You guys

[Kwacky]

I've told you before not to post photos of me without my permission.

[Kwacky]

I've still not heard anything.

[Rossgo]

That's strange. Frankie did because he came along yesterday for his taster
