The French Motorcycling Federation (FFM) is responsible for all things two wheels in France. The FFM takes care of heritage initiatives such as shows, museums, and events, as well as motorsports activities like track days and racing. It can be described as the guardian of motorcycle culture in France. Apart from providing activities for today’s riders, the organization is also focused on nurturing the next generation of two-wheeler enthusiasts.

For the past two years, the FFM has been organizing Motorcycle Discovery Days to introduce young people to the world of motorcycles. The event aims to make motorsports, particularly motorcycle racing, more accessible to aspiring enthusiasts. Just like other sports such as cycling, football, or tennis, the FFM believes that young people should have the opportunity to get involved in motorcycle racing too.

The FFM Motorcycle Discovery Days are designed for youngsters aged six and above. The event provides an opportunity for them to learn about and experience different motorcycle disciplines, including motocross, enduro, trials, and road racing. Professional trainers, teachers, and coaches are present to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all participants.

In an official press release, Sebastien Poirier expressed his excitement for the 2023 Motorcycle Discovery Days, stating that the event represents a unifying national initiative to develop motorcycle sport. It allows the sport to be more accessible to the public and contributes to its democratization. Many structures and opportunities will be available for young people to discover the world of motorcycling in a safe environment.

The 2023 FFM Motorcycle Discovery Days will take place from September 9 to 10, 2023, in 70 locations across France. This allows people from various regions to participate in grassroots motorsports without having to travel long distances.
