The book looks back throughout Dave’s entire life, exploring where his passion for motorcycling started, the choices he made that defined his career and the relationship he had with his parents, other riders and teams, most notably Honda Racing (HRC).

Written with the support and guidance of established Motorcycle Writer Jack Burnicle, the book explores the highs and lows of a career that has seen Dave travel the world, ride with the very best, and contains the best and hardest moments of a career that achieved much success, however on reflection, could have had even more. But, as the title suggests, Dave has ‘No Regrets’ over the choices made through his career.

Dave Thorpe’s “No Regrets” can be pre-ordered at www.davethorpe.co.uk and will be available from 25th August 2022.

Road 2 Recovery UK to be the official charity partner to the AMCA

: Date: 22 April 2022

AMCA are pleased to announce Road 2 Recovery UK is to be their official Charity as of April 2022. This is

the first time in our 90year history that we have aligned with any charitable organisation and we are excited

about the vision Road 2 Recovery UK has for helping the riders within the UK motocross community.

The Road 2 Recovery UK Charity specifically helps with the relief of motocross and freestyle motocross

riders who have suffered life altering injuries serious enough for them to stop participating in their sport or

take a long period of time to recover. The Charity’s aim is to raise funds and have them available immediately

if required.

Road 2 Recovery UK will be using their partnership with the AMCA to promote their work, fundraising,

meeting AMCA riders/members and will be present at as many AMCA events as possible this season to give

you more information on what the Charity is doing.

Jamie Dobb, 2000 World Champion & R2R UK Trustee

“I have been involved with Road2Recovery (USA) for the past 20 years. This work has helped put the

foundations in place to get R2R UK established as an official UK charity which now allows us to join forces

with the AMCA as an official partner. This is fantastic news, and will continue to allow the R2R Charity to

help riders and their families in their darkest hour in the UK as it has done for so long in the USA.”

Steve Harvey, General Manager of AMCA

“We are pleased to welcome Road2Recovery UK to the AMCA as a partner. The model of the Charity is

something which we feel is needed within our sport. The work the US sister company has done has been

fantastic and we can’t wait to work alongside the UK arm of the Charity in 2022 and beyond.”

How can I start?

This all depends on what discipline you want to start with – some require you to take a licence whilst others are more flexible and allow you to turn up and ride. Once you have opted for a discipline, see the FAQ for more tailored questions.

What is the difference between motocross, enduro, and trials?

These are all different disciplines the AMCA caters for, along with much more. Motocross is fast paced, short races over both natural and man-made terrain with 36 riders going into a first corner. Enduro is more long distance, long duration events, usually through woodland. Trials is slow paced, technical, balance based over challenging short course with the object to go through without putting your foot on the floor.
