MBEAM members come from a cross-section of the biking world and this is reflected in their preference for the bikes they ride. Some of the bikes ridden by past and present members are shown in our gallery.
Our aims are to:
Improve road safety by raising riding standards
Prepare people for their Advanced Riding Test
Members of the public are invited to take out
Associate Membership
They are then given free on-the-road guidance by trained Observers who have passed both the IAM Advanced Test and further Observer training.
The course includes urban, rural and motorway riding.Completion of the course enables the Associates to take their test with an IAM examiner who is a Class 1 Police Rider.
Passing the test will raise your riding standards by increasing your skills of anticipation and competence. You will also become more confident and aware of what is going on around you.
As a result of your improved skills your bike will also benefit because the wear and tear on it will be reduced and, if that wasn't enough, you can save on your bike insurance too!
The group holds regular events and rideouts.
We also circulate a newsletter and have an online forum where members can meet, ask questions, discuss biking and non biking issues, etc.

What our Members say
I am a female rider who had lost confidence and become overly cautious as a road user on my motorbike due to a minor accident. The training instils in you a much greater awareness of what is around you and improves your ability to anticipate and plan ahead, so you feel far safer on the roads and ride much more smoothly. Over the course of a few months, my confidence, skills and knowledge improved greatly because of the Observer’s expert training. I can't recommend the course and training highly enough. As well as providing you with riding skills that will increase your enjoyment of biking for many years to come, you’ll have the chance to meet a whole new group of friendly bikers from all walks of life

Developing Skills
Why stop at becoming an Advanced Rider? Whether you choose to move on to the Masters program or give something back by becoming an observer, there is so much more to do after the Advanced test pass.
Institute of Advanced Motoring. All training is conducted in accordance with the IAM course structure and Observers are trained to deliver that course material in a consistent, extensive but concise way.
