Across our social platforms, riders, clubs and supporters continue to unite behind the BMF’s mission and the numbers speak for themselves. We are delighted to celebrate:

• A steadily growing professional network on LinkedIn, where industry partners, policymakers and safety organisations increasingly look to the BMF for insight, leadership and rider focused expertise

These achievements reflect a simple truth: the voice of Britain’s motorcyclists is stronger than ever, and the BMF is proud to represent it.
To everyone who has followed, shared, commented, volunteered, joined our campaigns or simply taken an interest in our work – Thank You! Your support fuels everything we do.

A National Community with a Shared Purpose

For those discovering us for the first time, the BMF is one of the UK’s most established and respected motorcycling organisations. From our head office at Mallory Park, Leicestershire, to regional representatives across the country, we work to protect, promote and preserve motorcycling for all.

Our community includes thousands of riders and more than 200 affiliated clubs, each contributing to a nationwide network built on passion, safety, freedom and mutual support.

A Trusted and Respected Voice for Motorcyclists – Representing Riders at Every Level of Government

The BMF is recognised as a credible, informed and constructive political lobbyist for motorcyclists. We work directly with:

• Local authorities
• National government departments
• Parliamentary and advisory groups
• Road safety and transport bodies
• European motorcycling organisations

Our role is to ensure that riders’ interests are not only heard but taken seriously. We challenge proposals that threaten motorcycling freedoms, highlight the real world impact of policy decisions and advocate for fair, evidence based approaches to transport, infrastructure and safety.

As 2026 begins, our growing digital presence strengthens our ability to influence decision makers and represent riders at every level.
Supporting Riders with Practical, Trusted Guidance

The BMF provides clear, accessible advice on road safety, touring, hazard reporting and skill development. Our network of clubs, volunteers and regional ambassadors helps riders stay informed, connected and confident on the road.
Raising Riding Standards Across the UK

Our Blue Riband Advanced Rider Award remains one of the most respected advanced riding programmes in the country. Based on Motorcycle Roadcraft, the same system used by police and emergency services, it helps riders develop smoother, safer and more progressive riding skills.

Recognised by BikeSafe and the Nationwide Association of Blood Bikes, the Blue Riband Award reflects the BMF’s commitment to excellence and rider development.

Building Community – Online and On the Road

From major events and shows to training sessions, club activities and volunteer opportunities, the BMF brings riders together throughout the year. Our expanding social media platforms amplify that community spirit, helping us reach new riders, share important updates and celebrate the culture of motorcycling across the UK.
