I keep looking at joining, esp for the advanced training and the additional rides that they do. They say there made up of riders of all ages and abilities, I should really pop down and see for myself.
They do hold open days throughout the year as well, along with there monthly meets. So if you want to wait untill the next one to see what it's like I should be up for going along too. |
Personally I think being a member of IAM would be good for a number of reasons:
1. Going on observed rides will definately help my riding and observation skills
2. They have lots of skills training days off the road where you can practice emergancy stops, low speed manouvers etc etc etc.
3. It reduces insurance cost
4. I have heard that you are 7 times less likely to have an accident if you are an IAM member than otherwise (obviously those who do IAM are less likely to have an accident anyway cause they are more cautious riders, but that stat is still very impressive)
