# Northumbria Advanced Motorcyclists
Northumbria Advanced Motorcyclists (NAM) is a specialist training and community organisation based in Newcastle upon Tyne, dedicated to helping riders develop superior motorcycle control and advanced riding techniques. The group welcomes all riders holding a full motorcycle licence across the Newcastle and North East region.
NAM serves an established community of motorcycle enthusiasts through structured programmes that progress from associate membership through to full membership upon completion of advanced riding tests. Members benefit from practical machine control sessions, organised group rides, and regular social meetups designed to build skills and camaraderie amongst riders.
What distinguishes NAM is their hands-on, community-driven approach to advanced motorcycling. Rather than purely classroom-based instruction, they offer real-world training through machine control sessions at dedicated venues like Q11 Quorum Business Park, where riders can practise precision manoeuvres in controlled environments. Their calendar of monthly meetings, associate meetups, and full member rides creates ongoing engagement beyond initial training. The organisation also hosts residential weekend trips, such as their popular Pitlochry Highland gathering, fostering strong bonds within their membership. NAM's blend of practical skills development, structured progression pathways, and vibrant social events makes advanced motorcycling accessible and enjoyable. They're particularly notable for encouraging inclusive participation whilst maintaining high standards of safety and riding excellence across the North East region.
