    If anyone wants the KML file of the map, or would like it on MRA as well/instead of Google, let me know.

    Never had anything but great service but then I suppose they must know who I am. :D

    Actually I do tend to get there early.

    Yeah, @Helmut Visor let me know about that one. It was before my time so I wasn't aware. Not sure if Crispey actually created the reference map in the end. Good info in that thread, though. I will also look to pick things up from other posts/threads. It just takes a bit of time. :)

    Currently up to 51 pins on the map for bars, cafes, locations and dealers, all recommended by forum members. Keep 'em coming, particulary if they're outside the UK. I know it's an international crowd here.
    If you can say why a place is recommended that would be cool. Also, your own pics of the location adds that personal touch, if you have them. If not I find somethings suitable so people can see what it's like when they click on the pin.

    @Havit Any chance you could pin the first post of this thread?

    I've put a couple of biker cafes up from California on the other thread, it might be an idea if @Havit can move recommendations from that thread onto this one if possible

    I've put those two US places on the map this morning. All the pins have a link back to the original post so starting with that will get anyone back to the right thread. Sometimes people post visits and rideouts in separate threads and we may add to the map from those as well.

    Yep, anywhere people on the forum have been to and would recommend is fair game. Cafes, bars, hotels, B&B's, bike meets, (regular) events, great viewpoints/photo ops, dealers, independent workshops etc. The key point is that it's a personal recommendation, not just a big list of places hoovered up from the net or bike magazines/newspapers.

    Is there a specific location? I searched for more details but all the info seems to be on Facebook, so I can't see it.

    "The Real food cafe" Tyndrum, Crianlarich FK20 8RY
    If you are in Tyndrum,instead off going to the "Green Welly" for food you would be better getting something to eat here, a lot of bikers now go there instead of the Welly it has good food and the fish n chips are great
    (if you are coming from the south it's just before the green Welly on the opposite side of the road)

    Cheers, Bikerman. Did you stay at the Bikers Loft or just eat at the cafe? Just trying to understand which part (or both) you recommend. Is there a particular expectation you have about for Cafe Hubraum and Biker Treff if you haven't been there yet? Recommended to you, perhaps?
