Welcome to the Sheffield and District Advanced Motorcyclists (SAM), a friendly independent charity that’s all about promoting public education and training in advanced motorcycling skills. Our goal is to raise awareness and understanding of motorcycling and the advanced knowledge and skills required to ride safely on public roads. We’re proud to be an affiliate group of the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM RoadSmart) and we work closely with various organisations to promote public education on motorcycling in our designated region. Our volunteer motorcyclists are all trained to and maintain national standards of advanced motorcycle riding. They’re always happy to provide ongoing guidance and support to help prepare motorcyclists for UK nationally recognized advanced motorcycling tests. We also work closely with other charitable groups, such as supporting public events, NHS dispatch rider services and many other socially responsible activities. SAM is dedicated to providing an essential public service by encouraging, promoting and marketing improved safety on public roads in the UK and internationally through IAM RoadSmart. And, on top of everything else, we have
a very active social events program that encourages our members, family, friends and the public to both support our socially responsible objectives and enjoy the camaraderie and support provided by the club.

The NMC (National Motorcyclists Council) found that the DfT’s (Department for Transport) consultation on the future of integrated transport in the UK focused mostly on public transport and technology. This week, we also celebrate the Yorkshire Blood Bikes receiving the ‘King’s Award for Voluntary Service’.
