News came out earlier this August from the British Motorcyclists Federation (BMF). On August 4, 2023, the BMF published a statement, announcing that the federation has decided to exit the Federation of European Motorcyclists’ Association (FEMA).
Another “Brexit” if you will, the decision was done in response to the “burdensome” resource demands from FEMA. The European Union-based association’s dues were quite taxing for the BMF. Add the waning relevance of FEMA to riders in the United Kingdom, and an exit was clear in order to redirect the BMF’s resources to more effective lobbying efforts.
