| Hi Ian,
Sounds like my best experiences of the IAM (over the last 10 years, being a fellow old git!), which have been mostly with class I police riders. Mind you, my original 'observer' was a civilian, and he was v.good too.
You'll find a lot of variation tho. My advice would be to get to know a local group, and potential observers, before committing to a course. My worst experience was following the rattiest VFR750 ever round some great 80mph-sweepers, which would have been enjoyable at 60mph too, at a totally crap 40mph (in a 60-limit, o'course). I swear your old 916 was as annoyed as I was!
Beware of post-training over-exuberance, a not-uncommon phenomenon in my experience.
