The N.A.B.D. was set up in April 1991 by a small group of people in Manchester who believed that disabled people should have full access to the independence and enjoyment of motorcycling. During the past ten years, this unique Association has developed immensely. The membership of the N.A.B.D. has increased to over 2,500 individuals from all over Britain and Eire, with well over 200 affiliated clubs, groups and businesses.
