The ACU are devastated to report that Colin Boniface has passed away at the age of 65.
Colin was one of a kind. Someone whom you never forgot. Born into Witley and District MCC, motorcycling was his lifeblood and he had a huge passion for the sport we all love.
At Junior Kickstart on the BBC, Colin showcased his skill, captivating millions and showcasing the sport of trials. He piloted a Comerfords Bultaco at World Trials, demonstrating his talent on a bike. Locally he was a star, one of the very few riders who instantly mastered any machine he turned his hand to.
Colin adored Witley and District MCC. Acting as Chairman, Committee Member, Clerk of the Course and official for countless events, including our iconic Boxing Day Enduro, he always did what he could to put Witley MCC on the map.
So many of the Witley members owe so much to Colin. He encouraged them in their youth to pursue their sports to the best of their abilities. Mentoring and coaching many to meet their dreams. The Witley MCC owe countless Scottish Six Day Trial and International Six Days Enduro medals to him.
In the Witley club he will be remembered as a friend, coach, and the most naturally talented rider they ever had the privilege of knowing.
Colin loved the Witley. And we all loved him for it.
The ACU’s deepest condolences go to his Family and friends at this time and all that knew him.
