Had a great day and learned heaps. All the volunteers where very positive and friendly. This made it so more relaxing. A big thank you to all the staff who gave up there Sunday morning to help us be a better rider. Marvellous !!!!  

Yesterday I decided to join the Green Team B Run. What a super ride-out, ably led by Rick Watson, and back marked by Sid Collyer. We rode down lovely back roads for mile after mile, with no pressure to speed and no need to map read. We ended up at the recently refurbished Nelsons’ Diner, and I had the best bacon sandwich ever! Thanks to all involved.

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.

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.

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

The explanation of the physics of a bike cornering was the best explanation I have encountered of a surprisingly difficult subject.

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.

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.

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.    

I loved every second of it. I hadn’t done a track day before and was a little apprehensive as to what to expect and how to observe protocol/safety issues, etc. But gotta say, hats off to the Darley Moor folk – they kept the action rolling, and I was amazed at just how much track time we all got. Loved it. And learnt so much too! Looking forward to Silverstone.

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 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.

A well organised day; think I will have to come again and try it out at least once more.

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.

I cannot recommend this course enough. I ride through Pirbright bends everyday, and manage the corners competently with only the occasional “OMG” moment. I rode through them again today, putting my new knowledge into practice, and had a great ride – not just quicker, but I felt much more confident and more importantly, had the knowledge that if something did go wrong, I would know what to do. I had a great day yesterday, and I can’t thank you and the other volunteers enough, especially as there are so many of you willing to help us. It was a well run course, and you were all very generous in imparting your knowledge and experience with newer riders. I feel that all the feedback and tips will improve my riding, and it was really great to learn this in a safe environment. I hope to do the course again, to really cement these techniques into my everyday riding to make me a safer rider. Hopefully, next time, I can do it in bad weather – after all, this is England. All in all, the course was an absolute bargain when I think about what I gained in terms of knowledge and confidence, and I would have no hesitation in recommending the course to any rider.

Louise / Steve Just to say that I had the most fantastic time over the weekend. I’m just so pleased I was able to come, my new bike is now fully run in and my confidence on it has been improved so much from a great three days riding. Amazing organisation, Amazing Roads, Amazing Weather. Thanks for absolutely everything, I have already block booked all the weekends in the family calendar for the end of Sept/Oct for the next one!

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.

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

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.

Just to add my tuppence and to join in with everyone’s enthusiastic applause … wonderful … and I never imagined that the second 7Ws could ever equal the first … but guess what. Tyres beginning to round off nicely with all those incredible curves… must go back and get some photos at some point 😉 just so I can show friends and family what I have been gibbering about for 24 hours. Many thanks to all the event organisers and their helpers … and also so very much to all the friendly people who shared a wonderful weekend.

Just wanted to thank everyone involved on the Look, Lean and Roll course yesterday. Even though I know about counter-steering and have been practising Look, Lean and Roll myself during the Observer rides, the ability to listen to the trainers and practise it in a safe environment was invaluable. I learnt so much and gained a huge amount of confidence in both my cornering ability and my bike. Probably the best £40 I have spent on biking and I’ll be doing it every spring after dodgy winter riding to keep my skills honed. Thanks again – really appreciate everyone giving up their morning to help organise and run the course,  

Just wanted to say a big Thank You to all involved today. You may have noticed what a great time I was having. Last time you gave me the skills and I went away and tried to put it all into practice. What difference a year makes. Fan-bloody-tastic!!!

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.

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.

A well organised day; think I will have to come again and try it out at least once more.
