WaBAM, so who are you then?

First and foremost, we are a bunch of bikers who love riding bikes. Our group is built on two basic principles:

The first bit means that we love to ride. If it has two wheels, we'll have a go. Riding on the road is the essence of our riding and our coaching, as we are affiliated to the IAM. Many of us also do track days, off-roading, touring and race schools, in the knowledge that the skills learned can be transferred to the road. And because it's fun, too.

We organise regular ride-outs, weekends away and even the odd foreign jaunt. Mostly we just want to enjoy riding bikes. So we do.

The second bit is about a process of continuous improvement. None of us knows everything and we're pretty sure the perfect rider hasn't been born yet. So what we do is not just turn out Advanced Test passes, but Advanced Riders (which is not necessarily the same thing). An Advanced Rider to us is someone who has already reached a certain standard but who wants to move on and improve further. Take a look at our coaching page to see how we support this.

If you'd like to get to know us a little better, then you're welcome to come and meet us or drop us a line
