Our Observers

I've been riding motorcycles since 1986 but the one thing I've learned is that you never stop learning how to be a better rider. I joined the IAM in 2008 but joined Plymouth Advanced Motorcyclists in 2024 after leaving Cambridge Advanced Motorcyclists and moving south. I'm fortunate enough to own two motorcycles, a Kawasaki ZZR1400 and a Triumph 900 RP - both very different riding experiences, but I utilise the same core advanced riding techniques.

I have been riding bikes since the age of 8, and passed my test at 19. I have taken part in many forms of riding including motocross, taking part in numerous beach races, and green-laning. I passed the Advanced Riding Test in 2019, and have been an observer for the last 2 years.

Andy is a late starter and got his bike licence just in time for life to begin at 40. He leads the group Wales weekends which is the biking highlight of his year.

Passionate about riding and working on motorbikes. I believe that improving my own and others riding skills matters, for the safety of all. I have achieved a Masters Distinction and am a National Observer.
