IAM "Skill for Life" course...recommended?

[ghostbiker]

I am another +1 for IAM's
I really enjoyed doing my training and got a lot from it even though i have been riding well over 20 years. for me it was about the right speed at the right time. there are times when doing 20 in a 40 etc was the right thing and other times where an overtake was on and 80 in a 60 was fine, but affter the over take it was needed to drop back to the limit. this was for observed rides and the test. on group rides etc they were a little more lax on speeds allowed. but allways you are told to ride well within your limits and speed is NOT the focus of IAM's
but speed dose seem to come when you observe the road better.

I didnt gel with the group as a whole and the social side of it didnt fit me so i did just the training. with the training i took from it what i wanted and ignored what i didnt want.
i would like to do a rospa at some point and there is a local corse near me on road cornering that explores diff ways to take corners and find what suites you.
i feel training is the way to help make you safer on the road and get more from your ride/bike.
