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.

Really haven't you already done the IAM test?

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.

IAM in general or the hour long taster session?

I thought you had my mistake 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.

Shall we get matching Hi Viz POLITE jackets?

BOG OFF !

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

Frankie trying out his new hi-viz biking gear yesterday......

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.:

Ha ha..... You guys

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

I've still not heard anything.

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