Is this only a regional training scheme with TVAM. I ask as i cant find any info on it for anywhere else?

Mentioned it to a pal last weekend who is with the Milton Keynes AM group. He looked puzzled but said he is doing the odd Gymkhana event which looks mental!

Look lean and roll is a course just offered by TVAM geodude, so probs a bit far for you to come

I think what Geodude is wondering (and myself as well) is whether there are similar courses elsewhere in the country based on the same techniques. Other post-test schemes (including IAM Skills for Life) are offered nationally, and there are quite a few people who are looking for ways to improve their riding without the stigma associated with advanced training.

For my part, I would be interested in a course like this despite being a full IAM member and observer, because I don't believe there is a point where you can say you know everything. My experience says that everyone learns in a different way, so access to as many methods of imparting cornering techniques and instilling the 4 principles (from Roadcraft, not these) helps everyone.

Im not sure, if your local bike group doesnt provide such a thing then possibly not. Im fortunate that tvam is the biggest bike group and is also on my dooorstep so they do alot of good courses

Isn't look lean and roll what morbidly obese people do when they want to get out of bed?

On an unrelated subject, how do you find the 990smt mate? Been looking at them for quite a while, but not ridden one yet.

All the bike I could ever want - very like your Tiger I suspect, although I was burned by my experience with the 1050 engine in my Speed Triple. I've been far too gentle with it so far so I've only put 15k on it, but that'll change this year. Probably the main endorsement I can see is that I can't think of a bike I want to replace it with...
