ACU’s ‘The Way Forward’ roadshows get underway

The ACU is pleased to confirm its ‘The Way Forward’ roadshow is underway, with Chief Executive Matthew Edwards-Wear and President Tim Lightfoot committed to visiting 21 centres across the UK to openly discuss the organisation’s forward-looking strategy and simplified regional model.

The Way Forward strategy was developed to support the growth, professionalisation and modernisation of the UK’s recognised governing body for motorcycle sport. The introduction of a new regional structure, determined following an 18-month Board-led review of the existing centre model, will go live from 2027 and will feature 13 Sport Regions.

To support centres during the implementation process, the ACU established a working group made up of senior Centre Chairs. Alongside this, face-to-face meetings between centre personnel and Matthew and Tim are helping to encourage open discussion and provide clarity around the incoming changes.

Do you know what level of support sits behind an Auto-Cycle Union event permit? 🤔

As the officially-recognised national governing body of motorcycle sport in the UK, the ACU's support systems for organisers and clubs are built on more than a century's worth of experience. As soon as a crisis unfolds, we move quickly and become directly involved.

Clare Humphreys, Secretary of GTSA Racing, experienced the ACU’s support first-hand in 2024. ✅

“When our club experienced a serious incident, the level of support we received from the ACU was exceptional,” she says. “From the immediate response through to the days, weeks and months that followed, we were supported by people with a wealth of knowledge and experience."

Theo’s Egg Run 2026 🐣🏍️💛

What an incredible Easter Sunday in Sheffield! On April 5th, Theo’s Egg Run once again brought the biking community together for an amazing cause, supporting Sheffield Children’s Hospital.

Led by former World Superbike Champion James Toseland, around 750 bikers rode through the city in a powerful show of unity and generosity. Since it began in 2000, this inspiring event has raised over £100,000 👏

We’re proud to share that the On 3 Wheels team were there supporting the ride this weekend, and we also made a small donation to help bring smiles to the children at the hospital.

A huge well done to everyone involved, events like this truly make a difference 💫

🔥 What a way to kick off the season! 🔥

Saturday 4th April marked the first grasstrack meeting of the year at Tallington and it did not disappoint!

At just 11 years old, Daisy Torres proved she’s more than ready to take on the challenge, fearlessly lining up against the boys in the junior class. With incredible determination, focus, and consistency, Daisy gave it everything she had out on the track. 💪🏁

And the result? An amazing 3rd place finish on the day! 🥉

Not only is that a huge achievement, but Daisy was also the only female rider competing at the weekend, making her performance even more inspiring.

She is definitely one to watch this season 👀✨

👏 Massive well done, Daisy you absolutely smashed it!
