Tales from
the tarmac

Everyone in our community has a story to tell. Highs and lows, cul-de-sacs and road trips – and here are just a few.

Just completed the Advanced Driver course. Excellent experience and very worthwhile and has certainly changed my driving for the better. Met a fantastic group of people and look forward to doing more with IAM.

Highly Recommended to all Riders. Great feedback from the observers and some great routes helping to make us safer riders. Fantastic.
