Nothing if you think you know it all, and if you do, come and give us a demonstration ride. We might learn something from you.

More and more riders are finding that the Driving Standards Agency test for a motorcycle licence is not sufficient to adequately prepare them for today’s roads.  Increasingly the popular motorcycle press is recommending that riders take further training to equip them to better handle these hazards and the much more powerful bikes available today.  Even so most of us have had little or no further training since passing our test.

Why is this?  There are many reasons.  But two of the most common are that there is nowhere nearby to go, and that it is too expensive. We at Hull and East Riding Advanced Motorcyclists address these two reasons directly.

• We meet on the third Monday of the month at Kingston Bowling Club, Ash Grove in Hull .
• Compared with £100+ per day being charged by some organisations, we charge only £85.00 membership, the test fee, one year’s membership to both the IAM and local club, as well as relevant literature is included in this fee, with no extra charge for advice and guidance. We do ask that you reimburse your observer with fuel costs.

We can do this because we are a club run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts.  All our guidance is given voluntarily by members of the Institute of Advanced Motorists.  They have received additional training to enable them to develop your skills so that you can yourself take and pass the Institutes Advanced Riding test.  When you pass this test, conducted by serving police class 1 motorcycle riders, you will be eligible for many IAM membership benefits including reduced insurance premiums.

But most of all you will have attained a level of skill which will enable you to ride quickly and enjoyably, you will be much more aware of potential hazards and so the risk of an accident will be reduced.  You will gain from this heightened awareness and the satisfaction that comes from riding well, that buzz will be even better.

So, improve your skills and your enjoyment by joining the Hull and East Riding Group of Advanced Motorcyclists.  We exist to help you but only if you enjoy motorcycling.
