Death of trials legend Colin Boniface
By Team TMX on 6th Jul 23
The members of the Witley & District MCC have announced the death of their friend Colin Boniface who has passed away at the age of 65. Posting on the social media platform Facebook, the club's post stated '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 our members owe so much to Colin. He encouraged us in our youth to pursue our sports to the best of our abilities. Mentoring and coaching us to meet our dreams. We owe countless Scottish Six Day Trial and International Six Days Enduro medals to him.
In our club he will be remembered as a friend, coach, and the most naturally talented rider we ever had the privilege of knowing.
So many words. So many memories, but none seem to fit right now.'
