The BMF (British Motorcyclists Federation) represents over 92,000 members and is Europe's largest, most effective, rider organisation.
Formed in 1960 it represents the views of the ordinary road-going motorcyclist. A member of the Government's Advisory Group on Motorcycling, it is consulted widely by Government departments and local authorities. A powerful lobby group in its own right it also ensures a voice in Europe though membership of the Federation of European Motorcyclists' Associations (FEMA).
The BMF also organizes a range of shows and events throughout the year, including the two-day BMF Show, the biggest of its type in Europe. Member benefits include legal advice; insurance schemes; RAC membership scheme, a BMF credit card, discount deals and a bi-monthly magazine, Motorcycle Rider.

The announcement by the Government that vehicles manufactured before 1960 will no longer have to pass an MOT, has received a cautious welcome from the British Motorcyclists Federation.
The BMF have written to Justice Minister Kenneth Clarke MP, QC, after the Court of Appeal last Friday overturned a judgement that had been made in favour of a motorcyclist seriously injured in a collision with a lorry.
Responding to concerns voiced by several MEPs over confusion caused by the currently proposed motorcycle-specific EU Type Approval regulations, the BMF have travelled to Brussels in order to clarify the motorcyclist’s case.
BMF warns of "Cinderella roads" in a two-tier system, in the event of privatisation.
In an exclusive interview conducted for the BMF’s membership magazine, Motorcycle Rider, Mike Penning MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport, reveals himself as a motorcyclist keen to tackle the issues facing motorcycling today.
