The European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers (ACEM) ended its continent-wide training campaign at the EICMA show in Milan last month. The Learn – Ride – Enjoy – Repeat event saw participants take part in demo rides and advanced exercises designed to underline the benefits of post-license training. The highlight of the event was sharing a ride with James Toseland, twice WSBK champion, giving a hands-on experience of how refined techniques elevate every ride.
The programme was launched in April, with 44 organisations across 23 countries, reaching thousands of riders. A central achievement of the initiative was the launch of the Instructor Guidelines for Voluntary Motorcycle Training (www.acem.eu/academics-industry-and-motorcycle-trainers-elevate-advanced-training-across-europe), developed in collaboration with European Motorcycle Training Quality Label-certified schools and leading academic institutions. Grounded in scientific accident analysis, the guidelines address the most common accident scenarios for powered two-wheelers and aims to raise the standard of post-license training across Europe.
