BMF - British Motorcycling Federation

Formed in 1960 against ' tabloid press tales' of 'leather jacketed hooligans racing around our streets', the Federation of National and One Make Clubs (FNOMC) was established.

In 1965 the British Motorcyclists Federation (bmf) was formed to represent all motorcyclists. The bmf's successful lobbying defeated such ill-conceived ideas as leg-protectors and the 100bhp limit restriction.

Today we are the:-

UK's largest motorcycling organisation.

A member of government advisory groups.

Represented in Europe.

A well respected and powerful lobbying Group.

Organisers of the National Rider Training network.

Organiser of Europe's largest outdoor motorcycle show.

The bmf successfully campaigns on issues that directly affect the liberty, safety and security of motorcyclists'. The bmf educates and informs - from vehcle security to an online road defect reporting system.

The bmf is active in Europe through FEMA (Federation of European Motorcyclists Association) and FIM (Federation of International Motorcyclists). We lobby MPs, MEP's, Ministers, Commissioners and Committees to ensure that your views and concerns are heard.

We run 3 BMF shows a year, 2 in Peterborough and 1 in Kelso.
