Re: IAM Advanced Rider Training - Observed Ride #1

Exportman / Paul, good to hear your comments. Looks like different groups have different approaches then? As a trainer myself I know there are many routes to competence so will just roll with whatever my group advises. Indeed there are  and I'm sure Paul like myself finds that giving a stu...

Re: Loose connector under ignition key?

Don't understand if nothing was plugged into the usb adapter what was drawing the current?  Because the device is still stepping down the output circuit,  they still draw a small amount of power even with nothing plugged in.  When I wired my accessories  I took a...

Re: Reflections on MotorCycleLive 2017 - Training Options

Hi


The IAM still use their own book it is sent out with their joining pack. Observers are asked not to refer to Roadcraft for the standard course.  Observer and Masters use roadcraft during their training .

Is there any reason why I shouldn't/couldn't permanently replace the BMW/Hella/powerlet style auxiliary plug-in on the left side of the dash on my 06 RT with a dedicated USB port to power my phone or gps or whatever? I know I can get an adapter, but I have...
