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 Advanced Motorcycle Test under the IAM's "Skill for Life" 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 Observers take you out for a FREE assessment of your capabilities and potential and provide you with a written report.
Test Passes 2018
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 2018 go to:-
Master Ray!
We are pleased to announce EKAM's first ordinary member to achieve the Masters award in November 2017 and, if that was not enough, he achieved a Distinction.
Ray Cass joined EKAM a scant two years ago in October 2015 as a full member, taking and passing his Enhanced Advanced in March the following year. Continuing under the expert guidance of National Observer Trevor Shearsmith, Ray has achieved the most skilled level of membership possible for a civilian rider.
Follow that Fellow
One of your long-standing members, Alan Horton, has become the first in our club to become a Fellow following a recent test although he was aiming to achieve a F1rst.
Fellow was developed in conjunction with insurance providers IAM Surety as a way to identify and reward members who keep their skills up to date. It also means taking a re-test every three years.
Well done Alan, pictured here at our recent summer BBQ event.
More Observers!
The Observer Corps welcomes two new Local Observers at the beginning of October 2017 in the shape of Allen Webb and Derek Taylor. Both have been extensively coached by their mentors, Ian Lancefield and Nigel Wright, over the past few months and we're now looking to let them loose on some new associates while helping to maintain the high standards of road craft expected by both EKAM and IAM RoadSmart. Well done to both of them.
