Jerry Rogers

Chair of Plymouth Advanced Motorcyclists and a National Observer with IAM RoadSmart, with a lifelong passion for motorcycling. I lead a dedicated team of volunteers, helping riders boost their confidence, sharpen their skills, and enjoy the road safely. Through one-on-one advanced training, I provide guidance, feedback, and the occasional coffee break, always eager to connect with riders, whether you’re new to advanced riding or looking to take your journey further.

I passed my bike test in 1990. Following a 14 year gap I wanted to do some training so joined IAM Roadsmart / PAM, passing the Advanced Riding Test in 2023. Now a qualified National Observer, I thoroughly enjoy passing on the advanced riding skills to others and doing my bit towards the aims of Vision Zero South West.

Racing around at 16, I thankfully realised the importance of training after a 20 year break.  I love riding and being an IAM Observer I delight in passing on the skills of safer riding to others.
