What about Castlewood Cafe on the A518 between Weston and Uttoxeter ? Great bikers' meeting place. I live in North Wales but I go there a lot to meet and chat with fellow bikers. The food is great too !

Just to throw my hat into the ring as I am in Leicester, I always enjoy a run out to Rutland water.
Maybe on another outing but I went to the Brackly motorcycle festival a couple of years ago and this year there is a ride out starting with a lap of Bruntingthorpe https://www.theairambulanceservice.org.uk/event-news/ride-in-2016/ (https://www.theairambulanceservice.org.uk/event-news/ride-in-2016/)

I'm on the M1 corridor so I can do Midlands. Provided of course that my Mum says I'm allowed out to play. ;)
-
Somewhere with facilities sounds good so suggestions please?

Another popular bikers' cafe is 'The Food Stop', on the A442, Quatford, Bridgnorth,WV15 6QJ. Hundreds of bikers there at the weekend and they have a bike night.

[/size][size=78%]+1 A very nice popular venue-always plenty of bikes there on a sunny day. Staff very friendly Food good value.[/size]

I would be interested in attending a midlands gathering. I think a meeting point not on the biking scene is a better idea because as everyone arrives it is easy to know they are arriving for your event. It is harder for me as I ride a Honda, but with fazers being so popular the situation is valid.

Hi All.
I would be interested in tagging along. I'm in Staffs moorlands so easy access to most places.

There is Busy Bees cafe in a Layby just off J11 M42 (Measham) but it only opens Saturday morning til 1 at the weekend good food tho' we have a bike night there on a Monday evening.

It's just a bit of a social event everyone is welcome.

-
we'll actually be down there tomorrow as i need new gloves and the woman needs some textile trousers and all nearer places don't sell any that fit her right
-

Bikers world had zero items that fit the woman, she wasn't happy, not having much luck finding woman shaped textiles at all, (including the 'womens' ones)

My missus has found Alpine Stars women's kit to fit really well - and she's not a 5'3", 6 stone model type, like most women's kit is made for.

Yes! They're made in my neck of the woods in Sheffield. They're well known among the amateur racing fraternity for making bespoke racing suits- very good quality kit you have there Mr Sharp.

Huge apologies to Karlo and Mr Sharp - I couldn't make it today - was all in the plan, but Liz has been ill so it's taken a back seat

328 mile round trip for me Red... I win.
Would have been shorter mileage but Northampton wouldn't let me out.

Look's like a couple of MT10's there......The next generation Fazer replacement......Perhaps replacement is the wrong word, you can't replace an icon. :)
-
Three while i was there dazza, all in grey with yellow ish wheels....one belongs to a regular on here , sold his very clean silver gen 1 last week and bought the mt........without asking us.......disgraceful :lol
