Our Observers
Meet Our Observers.
Acting Chief Observer
Polly Jackson
I’ve been riding motorbikes on and off since the age of 16 and was based in London for a number of years where it was much easier to have a bike to get around on although it was a fairly hairy experience at times! I thankfully realised the importance of advanced motorcycle training after a 20 year break and joined the IAM in 2017. I currently have three bikes, two road and a little off-roader on which I enjoy days out on the local green lanes. Since being a member of Plymouth Advanced Motorcyclists I’ve held a number of Committee positions and have also achieved my National Observer and Masters with Distinction qualifications. I really enjoy training and being part of such an active and friendly club.

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.
