The are a multi-franchise dealer (Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Piaggio) with a huge car park out front and a showroom bigger than any other that I've ever seen! The sales guys there are happy enough to chew the fat as they are selling you a bike: I've been going there for 7 years and only ever bought 1 bike off them! :whistle:

There is a burger van out front virtually every Saturday that is run by Angie and Ady.

During the summer at least 1,000 bikers will pass through their gates every weekend, even if it is just to meet up before going out for a ride.
I visited Orwell MC today (Saturday 29th January)and considering the temperature, there were 20 odd riders there but most customer seemed to be in their cars

Would have sampled the coffee and a bacon butty at the burger bar,but had left home with no cash so perhaps next time...

Had a good ride around north Essex and south Suffolk lanes

I did not meet up with anybody, was just calling in on a whim. Talked to several people, but did not get their names

I live near Weeley in Essex, but don't tend to plan rides, just go......

Don't ever see many at Red Lodge, but Walkers, off Mildenhall roundabout, (on the Eriswell, Brandon and Swaffham Road) I always see a fair few.

Please don't try and use the Fox Inn at Finchingfield, the owner when around frog marches bikers out, why give money to people that are anti-bikes?

The Three Tuns, over the bridge, up the hill towards the Braintree road is biker friendly, and has a classic bike show on the 22nd May. Always get a friendly welcome there.

Anyone fancy a group ride out to the Fox Inn: I'm sure that we can all pitch in for a half of Coke and a dozen straws! :evil:
