    We would sincerely like to thank all our all our visitors, friends, customers, contributors and supporters.

    The poll ran from 27th September to 1st November 2017 - 12 noon. 

    Voting took place on THE BIKER GUIDE facebook group, via the pinned poll at the top of the page.

    The poll took place on the facebook group for THE BIKER GUIDE, as the group has the facility for a poll and a tick count. 

    When we started this a few years back, we used to add all the votes up from comments, which as we are sure you can appreciate took a long time. By using the 'poll' facility on the group, it is easy for all to see the vote.

    As stated, this is a poll as voted for by members of THE BIKER GUIDE facebook group, ran by THE BIKER GUIDE website.

    We did look into running an external poll, however this meant people had to supply emails and register, by using the poll on the facebook group the only prerequisite is to be part of the group, with no personal details given.

    We have lots of places popular with Bikers included on THE BIKER GUIDE website, from the south to the north of Great Britain, into Wales and to the Highlands of Scotland.

    See THE BIKER GUIDE website for extensive listings.
