Glad to know some folk had or still have a SOH !!!!!!
I assume you are referring to LOB & not my riding?

So many memorably hilarious moments, probably more than any other film that I can recall.
The look on Brian's mother's face (Terry Jones RIP) when he first claps eyes on an entirely naked Ruth is comedy gold.

I just wonder if there is anyone out there who has never seen it in its entirety?
It should be compulsory on the National Curriculum.

... judged for your boots, unlikely. The apparel section features brogues, thoroughly suitable riding gear.

Anyone in the vicinity of Silverstone should check out Skins Cafe on Brackley High Street,
It’ll be familiar to long-time UKMOC members for excellent coffee as well as a good selection of Lindstrands/Halvarssons/Jofama clothing and Kriega luggage. Quality burger bar round the back last time I dropped in too.

oops. just realised this isn’t the other thread about duff coffee.... now moved

a big shout out for Cafe Newt at MotoCorsa in Gillingham Dorset - has a Taste Award

Great food & coffee at reasonable prices

Unfortunately not open on a Sunday due to the locals being concerned over noise



https://www.cafe-newt.co.uk/



Plenty of 'biker friendly' not bike specific places nowadays mind you, the cafe at Compton Abbas Airfield is nice but on the pricey side!

The best greasy spoon used to be at Sparkford in the 80's - a classic trucker cafe open all hours think its the Mattia now http://www.mattiadiner.co.uk/

Might be worth checking out ! I'm not keen on the nearby Haynes Motor Museum breakfast...

Best Python film by a very long way imho. They knocked it out of the park with that one. The others are worth a watch but LOB is still funny however many times you've seen it.

I remember Skins. That was a nice place on our way to Gaydon I think.

Go early. It gets absolutely rammed at the weekends. Usually some interesting bikes to see though.

Jacks Hill Cafe in Towcester is supposed to be similarly good. I've never been there (remarkably) so I can't comment.
