Loomies. A272/A32

[Mark_h]

For those of you who remember the little chef on the traffic light junction of the A272 and A32 well it's reopened as a biker cafe Obviously the roads around there are rubbish so I have no idea why there are so many bikes there on a sunny weekend.

They do a very nice bacon, cheese and marmite toasty. The old burger van is still in the lay-by on the other side of the lights if you are more of a traditionalist.

Obviously as soon as the sun comes out out friendly police force stop chasing murderes and instead start telling bikers how fast they are going and present you with a nice certificate and a few points as a momento so keep it down until you've found a more interesting road than the 272.

Im there, when its a bit warmer. I like the A272, it has some nice bits for me to leeeaaannnn

It's been open a while - we stumbled upon it by chance last year and stopped for some lunch. Not bad value actually and the staff were very friendly too.

Not sure about the name though - who came up with that one?!

The owner did tell me the origin of the name, it's errrrmm...because errrmmm... oh you'll have to go there and ask yourself! Anyway it's great, they don't mind a jolt if you take your cuppa outside to sit out on the grass...oh and there is a pool table there too - with sofa's!!!

I think they open late on a Wednesday - catch peeps on the way to and from Alton Station.

Yep they do open late, also they have a pool table. They even tend to put the bike racing on for you to.

I'm up there most nice Sundays when I'm at uni, discovered it by accident on the way back from my dad's once. See some really interesting bikes there most weeks and the roads there are worth a visit on their own!

Was there today, lovely place, and a lovely ride down the A32 too. I've not long passed my test, always wanted to go there before, but I doubt my 125 would have made it!

I was there on Saturday. Stopped for a cup of tea whilst out on a bimble.

Eyeballed a 56 plate blue/silver pointy (same as mine except with lowers). I was just leaving so didn't get a chance to say #ello - was it you?

No, i ride this...



Needs a little tlc at the moment, been sat up for seven months waiting for me! Need the tappits doing.

I see the bike you're on about though, nice bike. I'm pretty new to all this, Saturday was my first ride out with other people really, had been up to Alton with my father-in-law the week I passed, but weren't many people about. Go up Portsdown Hill a fair bit too, you ever up there?

Meant Sunday, not Saturday
