Herts and Beds Advanced Motorcyclists

Observers are volunteers who give up a large portion of their spare time, free of charge, in order to train Advanced riding techniques to others.

Without observers HBAM would quite simply not be able to exist. As an observer you are our most precious resource and provide an invaluable service to the club. So if you have passed your test and are interested get in contact with the Chief Observer (if they have not already contacted you!)

On the face of it being an observer is not a very attractive proposition. You give up large portions of your spare time, go out in all weathers, have extra paperwork to do and not get paid for it!

However there are many rewards to being one as well:
• Your riding continues to improve. As an observer you learn new skills as well as improving the ones you learnt to pass your test. Most observers find their riding moves up to ‘another level’.
• It gives an excuse to go out on your bike. Not only is it a great excuse to give the other half as to why you have to go out on your bike again but it also encourages you to go out when perhaps you otherwise would not and get a bit rusty.
• You get a very rewarding hobby. Training another person and watching as their skills improve because of the things you have shown them does give you a warm feeling.
