I'm going to a rally next weekend near Olney in Bucks, want to ride out Saturday to meet a friend from Colchester - any suggestions for a good meeting place somewhere between the two?

tempted to say roysten though as probably about half way.....
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Yes I thought of Royston for the same reason - and Cambridge cos it's a nice place - but I really meant a meeting place as in a poub or cafe, preferably one frequented by bikers!

try
The Marquis of Cornwallis, Chedburgh
near bury st edmunds, should be a decent run for both of you

Cheers Aladin - about 75m for me and 45 for my mate, ideally I'd prefer the bias the other way really as I have to ride home the next day as well!

I know the ducati owners club meet there so should be biker friendly :)
