TOP BIKER JOINS IAM COUNCIL
16 November 2004 - Institute of Advanced Motorcyclists

Paul Gillett has joined the Council of the Institute of Advanced Motorists as the Divisional Council Member representing the South East of England.

Paul, 53, from South Woodford in Essex, has a long history
as an advanced motorcyclist.

He has been motorcycling since 1968, on all manner of two-wheelers from scooters to Japanese sports bikes.

Appropriately enough, Paul uses his bike to commute from Woodford to Westminster where he works at the Department for Transport, developing their Information Systems strategy.

Paul joins IAM Council members such as BBC TV presenter
Nick Ross and former London Mayoral candidate Steve Norris.

''I enjoy using the bike for touring holidays in Europe - these have included Nordkapp at the top of Norway in the North; Italy in the South; Hungary in the East; Portugal in the West; and most countries in between'' said Paul.

''As the Divisional Council Member, I will not only represent motorcyclists on the IAM Council, but also car drivers. The more we can encourage all sorts of road users to take the IAM Test, the safer we can all feel on the road,'' he added.

Paul is well known in biker circles for cutting a dash in his ''dapper dan'' leathers ­ which look just like a formal dinner jacket!

This is the latest development for motorcyclists in the IAM, which earlier this year appointed its first full time motorcycle manager, Dave Shenton.
