What is 'Post-Test
Training'?
This is open to anyone regardless of what they ride, from
an automatic to a sports-bike. We will initially take you
on an assessment ride to identify strengths or weaknesses
in your ability, then try to improve the way you handle
your 'bike.
It could range from rebuilding confidence - your own or in
the machine especially after a break from riding, whatever
the reason - to re-honing rusty riding after a long gap due
to a serious 'off' or to the 'Babs'.......the Born Again
Biker Syndrome......even the return of your licence after a
ban (not a lot of people admit to that one...!).
We work from the Police 'Roadcraft' book, (obviously
without including the 'Blues and Two's' speeds), but
certainly with the approach to more confident, fluent
riding skills, possibly working towards membership of the
local Institute of Advanced Motoring (IAM) group. Andy, the
proprietor, is an active member and Senior Observer with
MBEAM, being Morecambe
Bay Estuaries
Advanced Motorcyclists, a
solus group of the IAM.
The courses are run to again suit your needs on a timescale
that fits in with your work or other
commitments......everything is (hopefully) covered, from
motorway-speed riding to slow speed manouevreability in
town traffic.
Check out www.mbeam.org.uk, there you'll quickly
realise the IAM image of 'BMW, Sam Browne, pipe and
slippers brigade' no longer exists.........Augustus
Windsock has long since passed on, some of the
observers now use Fireblades!
