I do Hubby has bikes so we used to love it when they all came in.

you now Lou i can hardly remember now, before that we used to go to a pub called the Red Cow, near a flyover if i remember right, all derlict houses around, and then went a time a 2 to the Pineapple on Vaughn Way and the Golfin Range on th A6 south out of leicester, and the Dog at Syston.

Was the bikers the Pariah (spelling)

we used to go to the golf range we used to go to the airmens rest till they stopped serving bikers mostly just went to local pubs that wud acept us

absolutely. if you start turning into hairy horrid bikers i shall just delete you! jess x

Gary, Have you bumped into a bloke who has designed a black bike witha sidecar that is a fully bespoke,coachbuilt herse ? he has a website called bikerfunerals or something like that.He reckons it cost him £30,000 to have it built. I first saw his advert in Durham,in a bikers cafe in Tow Law. Then,bizarrely,I bumped into him plying his trade 200 miles away.

Gary Really pleased you've proved you're not always horrible! A load of bikers gather for one of the Bank Holiday weekends on Baildon Moor in West Yorkshire annually - they have a good drink but everyone speaks highly of them for their good behaviour! Debby

i used to see the Storks Head lot on the road more so than in Leicester, at the Red House at Coalville or the Rock House at Derby, i also remember a big biker pub on the A6 at Rushton, where the HA from lea valley used to come up and the Chopper Club from Bedfordshire, and us from Notts, Derby and Coalville.

Gary are you involved in any of these charity rides?, our local harley group does an easter egg run every year. My man was a biker (not big not hairy ....but he fell off...)

Gary pubs used to turn them away but we found all of the bikers better behaved than most customers and a laugh as well.

Yes Jess i have been on loads, the most recent one being for the Susuki owners club, but all were welcome and we ended up at Radio Derby, were all the toys were handed over to the childrens hospital. can i just say sorry again Jess, iam going out again in a mo, think ive got a drink problem coming Regards All

Hi Gary, Do you frequent 'Madison's' in Matlock when you go ? with the Matlock Motorcycle place next door ? They LOVE bikers and are proud of the customers they get. Sundays are brill at Madison's. How often do you get to Matlock Bath or don't you ? Oh ... the memories of Matlock Bath ... 25 years ago !!!!!!!!!!! and its still as happy go lucky now. Elaine :-)

No problem Gary. as a footnote. you have shown you can be a good guy. dont let the drink be your downfall later- and dont drink and ride Oh i sound like your mother! jess

Hi Elaine yes go to MB all the time in the summer, like to go to the Fishpond for eats though, the Anchor at Oakathorpe is the place to go on a wendsday night, up to 500 bikes there on a nice night, girlies shouting got to go now, Elaine put these people right about me, had a bit of a misunderstanding, but iam not all that bad Night All

hey Gary, Not to worry ... I get the impression you sorted it for yourself x Your a good, kind hearted bloke who helps any one who needs help, as and when you can. You offer assistance and then go above and beyond ... I'll give you a good reference any day of the year Gary. Enjoy your drink ... and I'll try and get to the Anchor next time I have some transport !. Daughter goes on Thursday night to pub opposite (forgot name ?)... thats when 500 cars gather !! MEGA FOOD at Anchor ! As Jess says ... don't drink and drive mate ... we need your help with genealogy.... and if your 15 stone and covered in tattoos, will you be on my side please !! LoL Elaine :-)

*JESS* Just had to come back and say .... that YOU TOO are a kind and helpful person - always going above and beyond the call of duty x Felt bad when I'd left the board, so had to come back and make sure you know that you too are MUCH APPRECIATED. Elaine :-)

Ohhh, I am sorry, just got back home and wanted to say I love MB, we used to go to Darwin Forest Country Park at Two Dales. Fantastic part of the Country.
