Thanks for putting the course on. It’s always good to learn and there were a number of new things that I took away. It was a good re-enforcement of the IAM and police handbooks.  I liked the MiB stuff and it was useful to play with the turning circles and lean angles on the toy bikes which re-enforced the theory. Likewise the bicycle wheel also re-enforced the theory. The objectives and content of the course are very similar to the police bike safe course which is structured as half a day of theory and a few hours of practising what you have learnt. That worked well for me and I think that you could condense the content or change the pace to do something similar.

I would recommend it to anyone. Every corner is a Look, Lean, Roll corner since I finished the course.

just wanted to thank you and the team for the course yesterday, it was enjoyable and picked the always useful information – specially as we are not old bikers,  older yes, but not old to biking.….. It’s just keeping it all there. Lol. We both felt the course was very good, I was probably more interested in the cornering and overtaking, but having said that it does also help to know what happens to the bike when you do certain things, so it was all extra information that I didn’t know.  Bill felt the same really, so sorry can’t give you any constructive criticism. Thank you all very much – a very nice day.

I went out for a ride with my observer first time after LLR course. I have scored A for the first time in my 9 rides with my observer(Nick Caiger-Smith). I have attached a copy of the sheet. In the SYSTEM section Nick says: GOOD USE OF SYSTEM – WELL DRIVEN – LOOK LEAN & ROLL LAST WEEKEND HAS MADE AN ENORMOUS DIFFERENCE TO YOUR MACHINE HANDLING +  CONFIDENCE.

Great weekend and even better than I was told it would be. Think I have also mastered LLR at last with thanks to some advice from Andy! Thanks to all involved,especially Louise and Steve, for making it the best ever biking experience.

I just want to add my thanks for all the organisation that must have gone into this. I have had an amazing weekend. I have learned a lot and feel my riding has improved, which has also boosted my confidence as well.

I am new to IAM, but not to biking. I found this an excellent introduction to the whole advanced riding topic and I am glad I did it at the beginning of my Advanced Riding course.

At risk of sounding tediously repetitive, many thanks to all those involved who made this a great weekend. However, unlike Simon’s memorable dressing down on the first night – “you know who you are, you know what you did, enough said, don’t do it again” – I do ask for all our sakes that you DO please do it again because in my view the 7Ws weekends encapsulate all that is good at TVAM.

Brilliant course all round Jackie and for me invaluable and I will probably do it again just for fun! (feel free to feed that back to TVAM!). Thank you so much for all of your communications and your support on the day (as you know I was hideously nervous!). I know this will make a massive improvement to my riding skills so looking forward to putting it into place.

Just a quick word to say thank you very much for all the effort and organisation you and your team gave to us today on the course. Definately worth the admission fee hehe, you should charge more!! especially as everyone gives their time free. Learnt so much, so thanks again.

Thank you Jackie, and to everyone else for the day. I actually chose to go to work today in the rain with my new found “cornering in the wet” confidence, and I made it home! (the sight of diesel still scares me though.

Thanks for organising the Castle Combe day – I had a great time and have now used all the tread width on my rear tyre – even at 68 there is a first time for some things. Also please pass on my thanks to the track guides who did a great job leading sessions and giving one to one advice.  Although I was apprehensive as this was my first track day, all that disappeared once I had been led around on the first lap and after that it was all smiles as you predicted.  I have now pushed my new CBF much harder  after 1100 miles than I ever did the old one in 56,000 miles and understand a bit more of her capabilities.

I would just like to add my thanks to you for organising such a great event,being a track virgin myself, friends from TVAM said for the first track day Darley Moor is the perfect venue and they weren’t wrong, great day and even enjoyed the bit of rain.

I am very much a novice biker although am keen to gain as much information, as I can in order to progress. I found this course very helpful, in particular the principles of overtaking and steering through corners. I have done LLR but this review built on that learning and understanding. I got a bit lost on the physics bit but still all good learning! Many thanks to you and your colleagues for an enjoyable day.

Very valuable course – I’m already navigating roundabouts with greater confidence and (hopefully) ability and not afraid of having my pegs hit the tarmac on the odd occasion.    

A superb day, really built on existing skills, having great fun at the same time.

I would recommend it to anyone. Every corner is a Look, Lean, Roll corner since I finished the course.
