About us
Munster Riders is a motorcycle group based in Munster, Ireland with members the south, southwest and mid-west of the country. We are one of 60 local voluntary groups affiliated to RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents). Our members share a passion for motorcycles and developing their riding knowledge and skills. Why? Because “accidents don’t have to happen”.
About Advanced Riding
Advanced riding isn’t all about increasing your corner speed, learning super-human overtaking skills or pushing your tyres to their limit. It’s focused on making you a safer, more confident rider who is able to identify hazards on the road and react accordingly before they develop into a potentially harmful situation.
Although not mandatory, we encourage all our members to take the RoSPA Advanced Motorcycle Test. This test is unique as it is graded Bronze, Silver or Gold. A RoSPA gold is the highest civilian driving standard available and the holder will operate at the highest level. The test lasts around 45 to 60 minutes, and is taken with a RoSPA Examiner, many of whom are retired Garda motorcycle instructors. All our volunteer group tutors have attained RoSPA Gold standard, followed by additional training to coach other members as they prepare for their RoSPA Advanced Rider test. Many of our members are also volunteer blood bikers or motorcycle marshals.
