Dec 2022 – After attending a confidence building session the following extract from a lovely letter was sent in..
7th December 2021 “The experience was a very pleasant one. Geoff put me at ease every lesson and explained the course very well, every step of the way.
I achieved a better understanding of my road positioning, road hazard awareness, and that doiing things the right/safe way can also be quicker.
The first two weeks were difficult getting myself into the IAM mindset. But after week three I understood the course a lot more and really enjoyed my time.”
Rating: Excellent
12th July 2021 “What prompted you to join our IAM group: Wanting to improve road sense and become a safer rider.
Geoff was very knowledgeable, and took the time to explain in detail the rationale behind the various techniques. With clear instruction and guidance my riding has improved considerably, making me a more considerate and safer road user.
Overall an excellent experience, and with over 20 years riding experience I didn’t realise how much I still had to learn. The training is something that will stay with me and I will benefit from every time I’m on the road, regardless of mode of transport.”

26th July 2021 “Improved my riding skills and became a better, safer motorcyclist.
Really enjoyed riding with Geoff. Very knowledgeable. Put at ease. Assessed positives and negatives, incremental areas to work on each ride out. Steady progress up to point where I was ready for test.
The course has provided me with a system which I can use to continually self assess and improve my riding skills. Thank you to Geoff for his time and expert advice.”
