Just wanted to let people know that that the IAM are currently running a promotion where someone will win a new Yamaha bike (worth £11,500).
You have to pass your IAM test by the end of August, but that's quite acheivable IF you get moving now.

I know that lots of people have a vague intention of doing it sometime but it often takes some sort of trigger for people to actually start the process. I know some people in the past have been triggererd by price rises and have signed up before the increase. I put it off for a couple of years and was then triggered by a price increase.

There will be hundreds of people passing their test this year, but those odds seem quite attractive to me compared with a lot of competitions.

You can sign up via this the link on this page.

So it you are thinking of doing it sometime anyway, then now might be a good time.
