Well this thread has been a journey. For those with an interest in roadcraft, IAM UK has rebranded and published a new simpler book directed at us riders. You should be able to see it online here. http://issuu.com/iam_roadsmart/docs/...ok_v16_combine

Issuu is free to join and they don't hassle you. There's lots of bike mags there too.

Sweet, thanks for that.

I have started my observed rides now. I must be bad, I get 2 observers to cope.

Yeah I know Philip, good sort.

Ive got some habits to break. Wouldnt mind getting to observer one day but need to make it to full member first.

Does anyone know how to separate that booklet from the message, so that I can print it off?
I have several students who would benefit from it..
TIA

Well passed my Full test today.

My Observer can start therapy now.

Does that mean the learning stops? Not at all. It means i have meet a minimum standard. The learning keeps going until I stop riding.

Those that are interested in Advanced riding should give an assessment ride a go. Riding becomes a lot calmer and controlled. And that means more fun.

And you meet some good bastards along the way.

[Jeeper]

Congratulations.

When I read this I chortled. Some on here think fun must involve significant risk taking.

Road Craft promotes progressive riding. Making good use of opportunities. Without increasing risk.

One of the key issues with the IAM process is knowing what risk looks like. Understanding risk. Only then can you mitigate risk.

Some amongst us on KB are all about how shit hot they are, taking risks through marginal riding habits, often without even realising the risk taken.

For many, the end (not binning) justifies the means. Road Craft is about understanding risk and managing it.

And riding progressively and positively with reduced risk is the most fun.

Absolutely Pete! I joined in 2011 and it it completely refreshed my riding enjoyment. For the first time, I had something to objectively measure my own performance and also importantly, those drivers and riders around me. That doesn't sound much in print but the impact has been massive.

[Ghost Lemur]

I don't get how there is an argument about rider training being anything other than a great resource for experienced as well as novice riders.

A story... let's imagine that riding a bike is a jigsaw puzzle of many pieces - I won't say how many pieces as I hope "why" will be evident.

The more pieces of the puzzle you have the better - understanding of road rules, understanding of the physics of riding, understanding of the environment, understanding of roadcraft, understanding of self, understanding of how your bikes reacts and so on.

More of those pieces that you have at your fingertips the better the puzzle will look. If you have only 1 or 2 pieces and they are both "blue" you are guessing as to whether they are sky or water. A few more pieces and you get a much better picture of what is happening...

It has been my experience with Jig Saw puzzles that the sky and the sea are different colours making differentiating between the two very easy.

It wasn't until I had finished that my questioning as to why the boat was upside down, became clear..

Damn, so they made a puzzle of that photo of me capsizing the boat?
