Introduction to Advanced Motorcycling (ITAM)

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 a one-to-one basis 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 IAMRoadSmart's Advanced Rider Course package.  If you are considering signing up then it might be worth your while to contact our This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. in the first instance as there may be cost reductions available from time to time.

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.

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.

Statistically, riders under the age of 30 are far more likely to have a life-changing accident.  If you are under 30 then not only can EKAM improve your riding skills but we are prepared to subsidise the full cost of IAM RoadSmart Advanced Rider Course fee.  Terms and conditions apply but please read this Younger Riders Under 30 article.

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 2020 go to:-

The committee will be losing three very active members who need to be replaced otherwise the amount of work for the remaining individuals becomes overwhelming.

We are urgently seeking a Regalia Manager as well as ordinary committee members. We also need to appoint a new Ride Co-ordinator and ride leaders who do not necessarily have to be committee members. We are also looking for someone to take on the role of Membership Secretary from 2022 and to shadow the current encumbent until that time.

We are always keen to have new blood and new ideas brought in to make sure that the club serves members’ interests. So if you have any interest in helping to run the club, please put your name forward toThis email address is being protected from spambots.

It is with great sadness that we report the death of one of EKAM's best-known members, Dave Rolfe, who passed away following a lengthy illness on 17th November 2020.  Most members will remember him for the annual Chicken Chaser competitions at the summer BBQs but Dave has been a stalwart member since joining EKAM in 2008.  A full obiturary can be found HERE.

He will be sorely missed.

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.
