Does anyone go to Bassetts Pole on a Tuesday evening (I think?) have heard that it's quite a big meeting place for bikers and wondered what your experiences / thoughts are on it. Also, any decent meeting places in the midlands / tamworth areas?
The Vic at Coalville.
New Inn at Needwood (Burton on Trent).
The Swan at Fradley.
Can recommend the Cafe at Fisherwick Lakes, Whittington.
There's also MFN at Shipley Gate.
There's a big bike meet on the A606 going out to Melton Mowbray I think it's six hills !! I'm sure someone will confirm this.
lol..I have lived in rugby for 30 yrs, never knew about that one !
mind you its on a bleak industrial estate, with little to go there for....and on a friday night ??...must be keen bikers IMO. !
Anyone here going to Bassetts on Tuesday evening? weather looks to be amazing, if a little hot. If you are post here with a time. If all goes to plan I should be going.
cheers
Steve.
Don't do Bassetts due to attracting too many idiots.

Lots of blokes with small penises & lots of plod usually with the CCTV van when the weather is nice, I stay well clear
We are born naked wet and hungry and then things get worse....
sounds like llandovery cafe in mid wales. power rangers everywhere!
I've done bassets pole twice once last week when I went Paint Balling there, it's behind macy D and I've done the bike night once just to see what its all about and both are sh1t, I've done MFN a few times there always a variety of bikes and I've been to the vic for a burger and a browse but the vic is very small compared to others, six hills is ok, it's been a few years since I last did em tbh as I rarely get out in the week, the odd Sunday I might just go to Matlock if im passing thro for a bag of chips and a bit of people watching.
Hitting Pitstop @ Rugby Friday night if anyone fancies it, Going A444 onto A5 @ Redgate on to A426 AFAIK.
Hmmm from this i read that bassetts pole is a bit of a posers power ranger hang out. One off my list then. Might just go for a ride around the local areas tomorrow then. Seems a shame to miss the weather. Thanks for info and advice folks.
if you are out for a ride in the day I always pop into Sutton Motorcycles in Tamworth. Nice friendly shop with tables outside to enjoy a drink and a burger or bacon sarnie from the nice burger van.

oh and if you are going to Bassetts Pole tonight would recommend getting there about 6ish if you can and then leave about 8ish when the ones that attract Police attention start to arrive, with nice weather it starts to get too full arounf that time as well
