    With only 2 days until the new year, and just over 2 months until the season starts it's time for a new thread. Who's your money on? Will Bagnia do the triple? Will Marc return to former glory and bring us a season in which he dominates? Will Martin secure his dream to win a championship?...

  • IAM Free Observed Rides Chch

    Hi All,

    Following on the heels of our last successful meet, the Institute of Advanced Motorists are offering further free observed rides or drives to anyone who would like to know more about the IAM and 'Roadcraft' System of vehicle control Based on the UK Police Driving System. This is proven around the world to reduce risk when driving making those who use it safer drivers/riders.

    You can go out with a trained observer for a ride or drive for about an hour and get constructive feedback on ways you may be able to improve your riding or driving. This is informal and not any kind of test!

    Meet us at Coffee Culture at the Beckenham shops at 140 Columbo Street Chch from 9am to 12 noon for a coffee, chat and / or a drive/ride on Sunday 3rd March.

    If you want to ensure an observed run then contact us back on this email address canterburyiam@gmail.com asap

    Regards
    Duncan Seed
    Chairman IAM Canterbury

      IAM Observers are Advanced Motorcycle Riders who have progressed to be extensively trained in the methods of being able to detect riders needs, able not only to explain the needs to them and the reasoning behind the changes but give them demonstation rides complete with ongoing commentry whilst doing so. The purpose of the Correction/training/observations (what's in a name?) is to develop a safer rider who will be more aware of his ability and limitations and hence greatly reduce his risk factor whilst enjoying his/her favourite pastime of means of commuting and inevitably increase his/her journey progress.
      The Observer gains no monetry recompense just the satisfaction of seeing advanced techniques helping keep another fellow biker riding safer.
      Mushu you have the right mindset for biking training , enjoy your ride with Duncan..he is a good correction officer..
