What's It All About?

If you are considering an advanced riding course then come to the real experts. With observers from East Kent Advanced Motorcyclists you will have your riding skills honed on the best value-for-money courses available, and take an advanced test at the end.
Advanced riding, assisted by East Kent Advanced Motorcyclists, a non-profit making organisation, offers cost-effective guidance leading to the IAM RoadSmart Advanced Motorcycle Test under the IAM's Advanced Rider Course package.
Club runs, barbeques, auctions, dealer demo evenings, to name but a few activities that EKAM members get up to on the social front. Take a look at the Club Events page to see what else our members are getting up to.
The club meets on the third Wednesday of each month at Sandyacres Sports & Social Club, Sandyhurst Lane, Ashford, TN25 4PE.
Is Your Riding Up To Scratch
East Kent Advanced Motorcyclists provides you with two options to find out if your riding skills are as good as they could be.
The first option is to let one of our experienced IAM RoadSmart Observers take you out for a FREE assessment of your capabilities and potential and provide you with a written report.
Observers Wanted
Due to recent retirements the Observer Corps is seeking to recruit some new Observers. Applications are sought from members who would like to develop their own riding skills and pass on those skills to others. Please contact the This email address is being protected from spambots.

Information on what it takes to become an Observer can be found HERE on our website.
HeadLight: Club Forum Suspended
Following a submission to the Committee on 14th October 2019 our club forum, HeadLight:, has been suspended as it is considered outdated and no longer fit for purpose. It has effectively been superceeded by other social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter which provide the same service and more. The club has accounts with both these platforms.
Members may make submissions to the Committee to reinstate the forum by emailing the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. before the next Committee meeting in November 2019 where these submissions will be considered and a final decision on the fate of HeadLight: made.
Test Passes 2019
The club's main aim in life is to qualify its associates as Advanced riders and welcome them into the fold as full members.
Congratulations for test passes in 2019 go to:-
Even More Observers!
The Observer Corps welcomed a new Local Observer in the shape of Peter Ferguson who passed a stringent test of his abilities on 9th May by Ian Lancefield. Peter was coached to success by National Observer Clive Owen.
The Observer Corps also welcomed back Phil West as a Local Observer. Health issues over a period of years meant that Phil had been unable to continue as an Observer and, as a result his qualification had lapsed. Under the expert guidance of Ian Lancefield, Phil was brought back up to speed and passed the Local Observer test with Chief Observer Paul Slater on 27th May.
