Not sure what it's called but there's a real nice upmarket cafe in Bainton village, on the Malton to Beverley road (great biking road)
Been a few times, they get plenty of bikers.

Seaways cafe at Fridaythorpe near Wetwang.
Always busy, super friendly, cracking food. Nuff said.

I bought an Astars goretex 2 piece when i started commuting year round and it's never let a drop in.
Don't commute anymore so it's my touring outfit for early or late season. Let's be honest, the leathers come out about 3 times a year when it's sort of warm.
Still going strong, i carry army goretex ...

Just checking that this is definitely sold? Cheers

Guessing there's a few quid gone into the suspension and brakes there over standard but yes, they do sound ace the old bikes. Rode a trial once and Mick Grant turned up on a 500 Ariel possibly. It made the ground shake!
