Thanks guys the Rapid Training looks exactly what I am after.
The Performance side of Survival Skills is really what I have done on the track in the past, I stll have both Twist Books and DVD's and a mate who does track instruction so have no problem getting advice on going quicker, but quickly and safely is what I want.
Taken from their website:-
Do you recommend people take the IAM or RoSPA test?
We are happy to train riders for either of these recognised tests. In fact many of our instructors are examiners for these organisations. But in reality we would be wary about the use of the word "advanced". The pass level for both these tests is not as high as it could be but somehow we cant see people queuing up to join the "Institute of Reasonably Competent Motorists" or the "Safe and Steady Riders Association". This is a good start, but your riding can go as high as you want, that's why we are here. We are fully supportive of the aims of the IAM and RoSPA, but passing the test is just the first stage.
Sums up my thoughts exactly, the IAM was a good start, but I want to go further.
I would say calling them "Reasonably competent" seems a bit harsh, I felt the training and advice was great, but tailored for maximum safety, excellent fuel consumption and minimal machine wear, I think they cover the safety aspect extremely well, but the "safe and steady" tag is more accurate.
Nothing wrong with safe and steady, but on occasions I enjoy burning fossil fuels with gay abandon using a internal combustion engine, it also seems wearing out my tyres at a less than optimal rate also produces a lot of satisfaction, and combining the two produces a requirement for using the brakes that would get you drummed out of most IAM groups.
Having said all that I am very happy that they are IAM examiners, to me this adds a lot of credibility, I have the same respect for ex-plod riders, not saying others cannot be as good (or maybe better) but it just adds a level of credibility to the trainers claims.
Will give Rapid Training a call
) deliver the same.
