A Biker’s Tale

Back in my youth I was fortunate enough to be part of the British Police Team that entered an international rally that was held in Belgium every year. In 2000 Honda agreed to sponsor a colleague and me and offered us pretty much any bike from the entire Honda range.

Club Night: Biketrac

Julie Emmett from Biketrac was our presenter at our January Club Night and provided us with a comprehensive view of not just Tracking systems but some useful information on hard security and theft risk in general. Some interesting points were raised.

Priorité à Droite?

Priorité à Droite, priority to the right, a funny rule the French have. We’ve all heard of it but do you know, as in do you REALLY know, what the rules are and how to apply them in real life situations?

Riding abroad: update

Meet the examiner

An insight into who our IAM Examiners are and some of the skills and behaviours they are looking for at test. For this article Steve Turner has been good enough to give us his thoughts...

Club Night: tyres

Ian Tollett, Michelin Senior Territory Business Manager, visited EKAM to provide information and advice on those very essential round black things that figure so highly in the performance of our machines...

North Coast 500

A trip that just kept giving! Leaving the Black Isle and crossing the Cromarty Firth at the start of the NC500 I had a feeling of overwhelming excitement that didn’t leave me until we were heading home.

IoW weekend

The highlight of the IOW trip was the military road which is 11 miles of heaven. Pot hole free, lovely bends and great to practise overtakes. It is worth going there just for the road - and cheaper than a track day!

Notes from Florac

What happens on tour, stay on tour... unless EKAM's very own Paul Haffenden has brought his notebook with him and has recorded pretty much all of the events of a six day trip to France...
