Touring Thebiglad's coming to UK - lock up your daughters - aaaaaargh !!

Hey big lad, whats the mode of transport then? Bike or car?
Theres a new place open these days and up and coming in Holmfirth if you get chance. Its called the Oil can cafe or also known as the carding shed thecardingshed.co.uk . Its a MASSIVE place with lots of automobillia and a classic car museum all in one. There are classic car meets and bike group gatherings with car shows like at Harewood House. Inside the place is a busy cafe thats a little posh with lots of girls running around in period aprons. Its worth a look and the afternoon tea is wonderful dear chap. In time to come it'll be the new squires as more people from outside the area have heard about it. There was even a guy come all the way from Northampton on a KH 250 to meet up with the two stroke forum guys there!!

 

Hey ho I'm also working the weekend your stopping in at the ace so looks like your going to miss out on a free cup of tea. Drive careful, have a safe trip and I hope your sis gets sorted.
Then again if England get trashed at lords I could be free on Monday!!

 

No problem I'll PM you my number a bit nearer the time.
I'll get the coffee's/tea's in,might be persuaded to partake of a light breakfast
Might bring the wife and go for a bimble afterwards.

 

Thanks for the offer,not sure what we're doing but I'll keep it in mind.

 

Have a great tour Biglad I'm itching to get back to Germany asap, few more commitments here then poss for good... Bon Voyage \m/

 

Hi Dave - I should be able to make Loomies for 9.00am on Sunday. Will keep you updated but hopefully see you and Roadrider there.

 

If yer get to Leeds yer gotta do the infamous Squires Cafe, opened late 50's originally, before moving to new site. Famous for it's pasties. I first went there on my 65 Bonnie 1966ish and still going. If yer likely to get there or anywhere in Dales post on here. This weekend saw the annual Rockers Re-union at Squires, Tritons etc etc inc some riders I met at last years Ace 50th Reunion bash and run down to Brighton. Run out was to Scarborough where 50/60's music boomed out from the Spa. Take care , keep the rubber side down, smile and have a great trip.

 

Dave, it's at Sherburn - in-Elmet off the A63 South of the York road. Where abouts at you going to be in Leeds? I'm working on and off in Stanningley at the moment so how far? Eric

 

Heh heh lived at Seacroft! Dad worked at Seacroft Hospital

Cafe is on Seacroft side of Leeds 13 miles according to AA maps. In a village called Newthorpe postcode for your Sat Navs is LS25 5LX

Easy peasy ... A63 Selby Road out of Leeds, through Garforth to (2nd) roundabout, at junction with Micklefield road (to left). Turn right (only other option!) onto dual carriageway towards Selby and A1. Exit at 1st slip road (after hotel) round to 'T' junction (fairly tight left hander). Turn right towards Sherburn and Squires comes up about a mile on your right, just before the railway bridge (100yds ish).
See you there - if you're daft enough to tell us all when you'll be there!!

 

That means roughly 23/24 Mayish. There's a Triumph open day 23rd at York Triumph dealer A1 Moto 20 miles from Leeds with Squires half way between. Open day is for riders bikes but obviously new bikes on sale as usual, coffee is good and free when I have been. Just a thought yer maybe need a rest rather than filling yer days up, just thought I'd mention it.
