MAM
Who is it for
Motorcyclists and Scooter riders. Although most of our members are motorcyclists, we welcome and do have members who ride scooters. The IAM use the same test for both bikes and scooters. It should be noted, however, that a requirement of the IAM advanced test is that your vehicle is able to maintain the national speed limit. This does exclude some scooters and smaller motorcycles.
Is it for you
If you are interested in the idea of raising your skill level and learning how to avoid those worrying "whoops that was lucky then" moments, we can help you. Join us at MAM and you have already made a start to becoming an Advanced Motorcyclist.
Advanced Motorcycling is simple, it is:
- being in the right position on the road, and
- travelling at the right speed, and
- in the right gear, and
- in having the right amount of information to allow you to plan what to do next - at all times.
That's all there is to it. If you feel this is daunting, don't; you almost certainly do most of these things already. What you are possibly not doing is joining up the right bits in the right order and early enough to allow safe adjustment.
Safety is key. But by safe we do not mean timid. When everything is done properly, you will be able to make fast, accurate decisions about your own and others' safety that allows you to relax and enjoy your riding, at any speed, in the reassuring confidence that you are in control.
Another benefit of passing the test is the possibility of a 10% discount on your insurance premium. But better than that, less stress on your nerves, on your machine and on your no-claims bonus. As well as this, you will be a member of a tremendously varied and diverse bunch of bikers sharing the same basic ideas as you.
