About us

MBEAM members come from a cross-section of the biking world and this is reflected in their preference for the bikes they ride. Our aims are to:
  • Improve road safety by raising riding standards
  • Prepare people for their IAM 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.

I’ve been asked about our training sessions and how they work – so: each ‘programme’ is made up of six core sessions, usually one session a week. You’ll be asked to practice your skills regularly between meetings. You are assigned an observer and you’ll be kept in close contact via radio during the sessions. After the last session your progress is review and assessed and at that stage you may be ready to take the test. If you’re not quite ready, further help and advice will be given. If you’ve a question or would like to know anything else regarding the training session, please dm me or drop me an email [email protected] ... See MoreSee Less

Testimonials

PF

"I must say for an amateur/voluntary organisation, I have received excellent and top notch service, from everyone. From the moment I began to research, all emails have been prompt, pleasant, precise and most helpful from lots of different members. Everyone has been amazing, making the whole experience wonderful and a joy. I even received my cheque in the post  over the weekend. I have thoroughly enjoyed doing the whole IAM motorcycle test."

KR

"My success was due to no other factor than good training. I was the same rider that I had been for years, but now I consider myself to be a far more knowledgeable and safer rider. It wasn’t just the course that was beneficial in terms of knowledge, the whole process was enjoyable throughout, and I loved every minute of it.  I thank all that had an input and I am extremely grateful for the amount of time that MBEAM Observers gave collectively - something that you can’t put a price on."

ME (F1rst)

"Advanced Rider Training with MBEAM has truly been an exceptional experience. One to one sessions with my observer helped me improve my confidence and I feel that I have become a better and safer rider overall. Highly recommended +++. A part of me thinks it should be compulsory for returners like me."

CW

"The whole IAM experience with MBEAM has been great. I’m getting so much more enjoyment out of riding now. Look forward to joining MBEAM events as well."

RG

"I found the experience of undergoing my training for the Advanced Motorbike test with MBEAM highly rewarding. The quality of coaching provided by my Observer for my mock test was excellent. Criticism was always constructive and delivered in a positive and encouraging way. It has rekindled my enthusiasm in motorbiking with the added bonus of being a safer and more confident rider."

DRS

"You’ve all been superb. Your support and training will be recommended to all my biker friends. Thank you again!"

MW

"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 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."
