POLL? BEST/WORST motorcycling country?
I have no idea how to start a poll; but I propose a poll where one would vote for the best motorcycling country.; and to keep it usefull I propose that members DON'T vote for their own country.
further I would like to add the category of worst country.
Items to consider, Roads, safety (crime), landscape,cost, climate, friendliness of the locals, even quality of local  , roll all this up and come up with the best and worst.
I'll chuck m my choices in...
USA#1
Paraguay; worst
Does anyone know how to set this up

Best: France, but only because Croatia, the whole of Scandanavia, Morocco etc. take longer to get to.
Worst: Austria: tolls, tolls, tolls, carnets, tolls, pass charges....

Agree!
Austria has Great Roads, but their highway-robbery is awful.
Vignette, then add Tolls + Tolls + Tolls....

Worst?  Any place where it has been raining for a week to make everything damp and where the visibility is so poor you can only just see the road - nothing else can be seen. May as well have staid at home.
Best ... to many types to chose from. And there are bits I'd leave out of any of them .. so no one country. And there are people I'd leave out too. Other than those bits/people .. any country I have been too has provided joy.  Are some better than others? It is like picking the best fruit.. mangoes, passion fruit, pineapple, ... best? They are all different.
