Birmingham Advanced Motorcyclists are the Birmingham branch affiliated to the Institute of Advanced Motorists, one of the largest IAM bike groups in the country, currently with over 350 members.

We are a recognised Charity for the purpose of motorcycle training leading to greater Road Safety. The club is primarily aimed at improving the standard of riding of it's members, although there is also an active social scene, and lots of rides out just for fun.

Yes you can get insurance discounts if you pass the IAM advanced test, but BAM offers more than that. Forget all you've heard about old men in cloth caps smoking pipes! BAM is a forward thinking club with an elected committee representing the members. There is always something going on in addition to the high standard of training, there are ride outs, weekends away in this country and to other parts of Europe.

The club is helped by members of the West Midlands Police Force, some are top class police motorcycle riders, who have the enviable reputation of being the best police riders in the world.

If you ride a bike, be it just for fun at the weekend, or every day, you can improve you're riding style and safety with the help of BAM.

This group allows our members the ability to participate in a live forum and gives information to our members on when and where the club meets, when there are organised group rides, what social activities are planned. There are also photos and files to download, a classifieds section and links to useful websites.
