Events
These events are solely for Members and Associates of Bournemouth & Wessex Advanced Motorcyclists. To find out more about joining BWAM, select BWAM Home.
All group organised rides are conducted according to the IAM's guidelines for Group Organised Rides. These include the stipulations that there shall always be an Observer participating in (if not leading) the ride, and that all Associates shall have been cleared for group riding. Any ride that doesn't meet these requirements is deemed not to be a group organised ride, and will not be associated with BWAM or the IAM.
Participants in group organised rides are responsible for their own safety and compliance with the law, and should at all times ride within their own capabilities.
