Hi Silver,

Pete and I are in Rugby, so not far from you.

Try the Diner at Long Itchington on a Sunday morning................usually a few bikers there for breakfast. There is also a meet there on a Thursday night, although that has ended now for the winter.

Fox's Diner at Dorchester is a nice run on nice roads.

There is also the Cafe at Quatford, lots of bikes there on a nice day.

There is also Midlands Superbikes at Market Harborough..........great food van there. Try their breakfast baguette

Like us, you are in a bit of a no mans land group-wise. We tend to do things with EAR, The Border Patrol and Thames Valley too.

We like to get out and about most weekends, you're always welcome to give us a shout and see what we're up to. Be warned though..............we are old!

I used to live in Funny Compton and found a few decent places to ride, although they have made a pigs ear of the nice flowing Southam to Banbury road with the speed limits. There is the biker cafe at Suzuki Daventry and a bike meet at the Kings Head in Napton on Tuesdays I think.

This way usually

The Fosse is a good road. Not as straight as the map suggests.

This way you'll also go past Ma Larkins. Another favourite with bikers at the weekend.
