Created in the summer of 2003 and formally known has 'Hull Bikers', this was originally created as a project - due to there being virtually no local bike websites in the Hull region. Its member base gradually grew year upon year and it was clear to see the idea had proved ever popular. This was the start of a new era for this regions motorcyclists.

From the beginning, Hull & Yorkshire Bikers has been a very popular resource for the local bikers of Yorkshire. It's uniqueness of being one of the very few local communities made it stand out from other such websites.

Hull & Yorkshire Bikers played a large part in the Hull Royal Infirmary Maternity Unit fund raiser in December 2004. Over two thousand pounds were donated, in the hope of giving premature babies an increased chance of survival.

In 2005, over £200 was also donated to NABD (national association for bikers with a disability), with donations collected from a past members funeral.

Through different reincarnations of websites and hosting issues, the website is still active and regularly visited.

The third of the websites, was created in late 2006 as an incentive to achieve the same success as previous websites (Hull & Sheffield).

Nottingham was slow to lift off but has shown great potential and is slowly starting to bring the local biking community together. Nottingham Bikers is still a small close-knit community but will no doubt follow in the footsteps of its predecessors.

Consequent upon a the first websites success (Hull & Yorkshire Bikers), this website was spawned in winter 2005 as a sister site to accommodate members from further a field. The members are mainly based around the Sheffield area, thus the website was aptly named 'Sheffield & Yorkshire Bikers'. Word of mouth helped create yet another community of bikers and is still becoming ever popular.

This community has brought together people of all ages, with one common interest and has formed friendships that will last longer than the internet itself. Why this community continues to flourish, is due entirely to the way of thinking of its membership. Similar communities exist - some are based on a locality and some are based on a specific topic. This community is one based on both a locality: "Yorkshire", and a topic: "Motorcycling".

The community encompasses all age groups and is driven purely by a very distinctive community spirit. New members are made to feel welcome and valued in a friendly environment. Long-term subscribers feel valued by being able to offer both friendship as well as advice to new members. Members from outside of the Yorkshire area also enjoy the atmosphere and the camaraderie that comes from being seen and recognised as a part of this community.
