I wonder how long before several Poxy little houses are rammed onto the spot.

We would like to Thank you all for the 7 years and for making it so great . We have loved it . What an amazing life experience it has been , we have met and gained great friends we have also met some strange people lol .
I will miss you all .... Poor Leon it's only going to be him I shout at now ."
Sad indeed. I've only been there twice, but it's always a shame when any biker-welcoming café or meeting point closes. It's always nice to know that if you're in a particular area, there's somewhere you can stop for a breather where folks will be welcoming, and you can natter with other like-minded individuals and perhaps see something interesting of the 2 wheel variety.
Maybe we ought to get one more visit in before it closes?

This is a real bugger, Loomies has been a great place to meet people, finish off Group Rides or just get a bite to eat after a days bimbling around the roads in the Meon Valley and related areas :(
It was also where Hampshire Police used to finish their BikeSafe rides and, of course, where we in the Solent Advanced Motorcyclists would then try to get people to sign up for Advanced Training :)
There aren't really any other such places convenient nearby, so I'm not sure where we'll all go next...

I wonder how much it would cost to resurrect ....with a name like mine...flipping burgers may be a vocation
There are rumours that it's going to be/ has already been bought out, but I've not heard any hard information yet.
Unfortunately I'm busy this Sunday :(

Bikes parked on the road and both nearby layby's were rammed, as was the petrol station and pub. Over 3000 bikes and the Café has been bought by 2 bikers who will keep the name. Good times

Sorry I couldn't make it, but I was a bit tied up... ;)Sounds intriguing. Probably a good reason not to go then.

Hello from the new owners...
Loomies has been providing a second home to us and the rest of the biking community for many years - and when we heard Jane and Leon had decided not to renew the lease - we were gutted to think it would close.
So we decided to club together to try and save it and we're pleased to announce we've done it - Loomies will be staying part of our biking community for many years to come.
We look forward to Loomies being part of your biking experience for many years to come - and we hope we can extend a welcome to you that Jane and Leon would be proud of.
Will and Paul
