There was also a welcome incentive for riders making the journey, with the first 100 attendees receiving a free

The British Motorcyclists Federation (BMF) has welcomed the latest figures released by the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCIA), which show continued growth in new motorcycle registrations during June 2026 and provide further evidence that motorcycling remains an increasingly attractive transport and leisure choice for people across the UK. According to the latest MCIA data, the overall L-Category market grew by 13% in June compared with the same month last year, with year-to-date registrations now standing 15.2% ahead of 2025. Motorcycle registrations increased by an impressive 14.5%, while scooter registrations also recorded healthy growth of 6.8%.

Despite ongoing economic pressures and

The BMF is working with key partners within the Motorcycle Focus Group to make your Ride safer Every summer, thousands of motorcyclists head to Scotland to experience some of the finest riding roads anywhere in Europe. From the sweeping bends of the Borders to the spectacular scenery of the Highlands and the islands, Scotland offers unforgettable and often breathtaking motorcycling. But those roads also present unique challenges for motorcyclists, who unfortunately account for roughly 18% of Scottish road fatalities while making up less than 1% of all traffic. Rural routes, especially in regions popular for touring like the Highlands, feature heavily in accident statistics, with almost 50% of serious accidents happening on roads with speed limits over 40 mph. Many of our

Keep it Legal: Ride Right Campaign Launches Today (22 June 2026) to Protect the Future of Legal on and off-road Motorcycling In recent years, a visible minority of irresponsible and anti-social riders have unfortunately been putting the future of active outdoor motorcycling under threat by riding illegally — on footpaths, bridleways, private and common land, and other places where no motor vehicle rights exist. This has involved both motorcycles and illegal high powered eBikes, with their riders tyrannising local communities and damaging the reputation and freedoms of the responsible majority of motorcyclists. The Ride Right campaign, spearheaded by the Trail Riders Federation (TRF) and the Auto-Cycle Union (ACU), and supported by key motorcycling bodies such as the National Motorcyclists Council (NMC) and
