Horse and Barge, Harefield, on the Grand Union Canal. 15 mins from Ruislip Daytona, unless they just 'serviced' it in which case it's as long as the recovery truck takes to arrive and drop you off.
Great food, loadsa 'water pikeys' and bikes on Sundays and Thursdays, if I remember. Sadly I no longer live in Harefield and I miss it like hell. Bloody hate central London...

The 'Glass Barrel' on the main road just out of Tyldsley town centre on the way to Atherton (Greater Manchester)....................Live Music!! ;)
I had a T Bone steak in the fox and Goose Southport (thats the one down the side street) in 1962 - it cost 3 quid!!!!
Happy days

The White Swan just off the A47 at Gt Yarmouth.
Every Friday night all through the summer months (or summer week). The place is mobbed every Friay with every bike you can think of. Get a couple of hundred turn up on a hot night.
The pub owners put on a bar-b-q and local dealers bring down the new releases. It was the first place i saw the 999 and the Triumph Rocket.
Worth a visit to the sea side on a hot summers night, Perhaps.

There doesn't seem to be any decent local pubs that bikes meet at apart from the 3 horseshoes. Any ideas for East Anglia anyone???

There is one on the Aylsham Road, can't remember what it's called. There's only about 10 names for pubs in the UK anyway isn't there? The Fox and Hounds, The Kings Head, etc etc. But it's where they host the Norwich Bike Show every year, I went once, well, actually I rode past which doesn't sound good.
Anyway, there is a pub for the taking for this sort of thing. Phil Goodes in Swardeston. He's happy for us to show up, he'll do us special menus, he'll show the racing on a big telly even. He offered this a few months back to the UKMOC so maybe it's time we took him up on it?
Mill House, Hartford, Huntingdon, Cambs - Tuesday evenings
