The IAM RoadSmart Advanced Rider test is just the beginning of your journey. Advanced motorcycling is a life long pursuit of continuous improvement.
National Observer
Once you are qualified as an advanced rider you can take up further training for example, becoming an IAM RoadSmart National Observer yourself. This journey starts where you are teamed up with one of our experienced observers and guided through the process of mentoring and training an associate. This culminates in an assessment where if successful you could obtain the qualification of National Observer.
HAB Slow Riding Workshops
What’s all this malarkey about Slow Riding and what has it to do with me?
Well, basically for anyone who has a bike (including push bikes), we all need to be able to ride slowly to one degree or another. What about while manoeuvring your bike, setting off, filtering in traffic, approaching a give way sign/junction, going to a garage to fill up, undertaking a tight ‘U’ turn, or coming to a stop, to name but a few examples. Think about all the times you have been confronted with these situations, have you always been safe and in control? Or did you think that you were in control! What about all those occasions were you have witnessed bikers using both feet to ‘paddle’ their bikes while manoeuvring or in the ultimate case dropped their bike, oops, expensive!
Attending one of our Slow Riding Workshops provides you with a number of techniques and gives you the opportunity to practice the techniques in a safe environment, enabling you to ride your bike slowly, safely, with confidence, skill and as important, while having fun. Once you have honed your skills in slow riding, for those of you that go touring or take a pillion, why not have a go at negotiating the obstacles with a pillion or luggage in place. You may never get the soles of your boots dirty again!
