My local, the Custom Café on the A259 nr Little Common/Bexhill. Great staff and food and well worth a visit, especially for Friday night Bike Nights in the summer. Also Route 1066 on the A21 nr Robertsbridge/Hastings, a more traditional café but a good place to stop-off for an hour or few.. |

Most definitely Bikers Cove at South Queensferry
Alternatively there is the Green Welly at Tyndrum although it’s not an official “bikers” stop it is where all the major manufacturers and shops have their annual test days.
Always a great stop if touring the Highlands anyway
But officially yes drop in at the Cove, great friendly wee place for a coffee and a bit of banter |

Local dedicated I suppose are the Hillington triumph and harley
But both as expensive as the dealerships they are located inside
Largs seafront has lots of places to buy coffees and goodies but everyone chooses to sit out in the elements and chat, the green Welly is also the same, at Inveraray again its the car park where folks get together, heading to bikers cove soon but as a general rule I stop when I'm wanting to and if I see some bikes parked outside all the better if there's a chance of having someone to talk shite to for a while to pass the time |

"My local cafe is squires cafe Sherburn in Elmet been going years not in its original spot but the new spot is pretty good "
Yep my local bike cafe as well. It puts on some great venues and night's fantastic food and drink and a great place to meet. But maybe it's just me I think it could do with a facelift, redecorating and a good old fashioned jukebox. |

Hartside cafe on the A686. The road climbs the Hartside Pass to a height of 1904 ft, from where there are magnificent views across the Solway Firth to Scotland. Unfortunately the cafe burnt down in March 2018. There has been plans drawn up in August 2019 to build a new cafe with a panoramic view with a glass fronted building. not heard anything for a while so hope it all goes ahead. It was bikers heaven and very very popular |

Kirby lonsdale in the summer months , just 5 miles from the M6 junction near preston hundreds there , right by the old river bridge on the A65. Good place to take a dip or if your feeling brave take a leap of faith off the bridge , been up there and off the parapet dozens off times . Few good campsites nearby too. |

My personal fav cafe is the "Ponderosa" on top of the horseshoe pass. A great ride up to the cafe in either direction and a good grub and fantastic views when you get there |

Best takeaway chippy in West Wales is the one in Llanon, on the coast road between Aberaeron and Aberystwyth, and PD’s Diner on the front in Aberystwyth is brilliant for food too. |

The last time I went there it was after a BBQ, copious amounts of beer and half cooked food didn't agree with me. I threw up in my crash helmet, also over the rider behind me. |
