LIFETIME LEARNING SKILLS
Once you have signed up for the “Skills For Life” course, this Manual comes directly to you from IAM headquarters.
You will be expected to read the chapters relative to your needs, which will be identified by your Observer each week.
By following the information contained within this document, you should find your rides enjoyable and stress free.
Things to help you
Your bike must be road legal (especially plate size & cans).
You must be wearing suitable protective gear.
Have enough fuel on board to cover 35-40 miles.
Visors must be scratch free.
LAM
Safety must remain your primary and overriding concern.
Always remember advanced techniques of machine control can only
increase your safety and reduce the risk of an accident if they are
supported by
positive attitudes, concentration, critical self-awareness and above all, by self-
control.
SEE YOU ON A COURSE OF IMPROVEMENT
REMEMBER
Learning is voluntary and that means that we
need commitment from you;
There is no such thing as a perfect ride;
Let’s get it on!
