Northukbikers was set up in October 2004, with the purpose of creating a real community for bikers in the North Of England, where all bikers would be made welcome. We made some mistakes in the first instance, using freebie forums and the like, but in 2005, we purchased a web hosting package and the site took off rapidly.
There weren't many other sites around that encompassed the whole of the North UK, (Lancashire, Yorkshire and the North East are our main areas, although we do have members in Scotland and Lincolnshire also) and with some hard work flyering at local bike meets, we gained some members, ran a good few ride-outs and some local meets in Lancashire, and Yorkshire, and had a good 2005, with 47 ride-outs, and gaining around 300 members. A holiday to ireland took place, a good year. We were starting to become a real biker community, with a great spirit.
2006, we gained around another 400 members, and ran 76 ride-outs, word of mouth promoted us, and with some adminstration team changes, decisions became easier, the site grew quickly, and we ran 76 ride-outs, had several social functions, a trip to Scotland for a long weekend, and a good year.
2007, WOW, what a year, we broke the 1000 member mark, we ran a massive 123 ride-outs throughout the year, had Christmas parties in Yorkshire, Lancashire and the North East, we had a big meet ride-out, where over 100 NUKB members rode to Tanhill and had lunch, before travelling back to the North East, Lancashire and Yorkshire. it was a great year for the site, where we finished on 123 ride-outs, (over 3 times more than our nearest competitor) 1322 members, and a superb community!
2008, and our first ride-out takes place on New Years Day!
