Zzzzzzz......

Your neighbour goes to see council about loud motorbike next door.

Political lobbying ?

You go and see councillors about large potholes in your street, more Politics or is it politic ?

Neither did I hide my IAM membership

I'll take you out for an 'unofficial' assessment ride if you want. Just PM me and we can arrange something.

I've been an IAM Member for 30 years (Car and Bike) and ride with Senior RoSPA Trainers every week, for nearly 10 years.

I'm not an instructor, as I'd rather not have the 'Associate' commitments.

But I'd be happy to see where you're at and point you in the right direction

Wow, that is a kind offer. Thank you.

There is no “Fail or Pass” its do you meet the standard required ?

So, if you meet the required standard, you pass.
If you are not up to the required standard, you fail.

As in, you either pass the required standard, or fail to meet it.

Splitting hair’s, a standard is a standard end of. You either meet it or not. If you don’t then further guidance is required. Im only the messenger so don’t be aiming you gun at me.

They were going for an assessed ride, you go out for 90 minutes or so.

The observer follows you to see how you ride, then a quick chat then you swap, so the observer can give a 'flavour' of what advanced riding looks like.
Then usually over a coffee a chat about how things went.. I've certainly never done a hard sell with any demo drive I've done.

As for going for test, you don't pass or fail. You get recommended for membership, or not. Bugs the hell out of me, so 1950's.

As I understand it, they weren't going for test, it was a riding assessment à la Ridescotfree.

Exactly what i was driving at. But hey ho you always get the odd argumentative sod who muddies the water. Im not posting any more on this subject. I’m not here to defend the IAM after all i resigned because of the direction they have taken over the last few years. Simply trying to explain how it works, but ive said my bit.

I'm working as a 5th columnist, and intend to spread anarchy and mayhem.

Or just ask awkward questions.

No worries. Just let me know when you're ready and I'll come over, or meet you half way. Whichever.

Thanks very much to Steve for coming out today and giving me an insight into how I stack up in th egrand scheme of things. Actually, thinking about it, 'stack up' possibly isn't the best turn of phrase!

We had a steady ride along A roads and through some leafy B roads and then did some exploring along smaller, unclassified, or D roads covered in farmer hazards and fallen leaves. The natter stop was at the fabulous Rambler's Retreat in Dimmingsdale. Hot chocolate all round and apparently I didn't disgrace myself.

I can see a visit to the dark depths of Doncaster before long with a big stick.

I'm still up in Bonnie Scotland in the Camper .... Portsoy, the waves are rolling in just a few yards away :thumb2

We'll sort something out when I get home Simon ... I look forward to receiving that stick, one way or the other

Thanks for your input Steve (Warlord) :thumby:

Thought the std price was £149.00 ? So if dropping to £99 that’s a good deal to be had
