Victory for the biker cafe!

[gumpt1oo]

I'm not sure if you guys remember, but a friend of mine has spent the last 12 month's battling the Council, the National Parks Authority, and anyone else with a bad opinion of motorcyclists, to open a bike themed cafe in the Lake District.

Well he won!!!!!!
And the cafe opened last week. Considering it is winter here and we have had snow this week there was about 50 bikes turned up for the opening on Saturday and the place was full on Sunday too. The weather was foul on Sunday, as I was fool enough to do the 80 mile round trip on my T140 in freezing rain!
But the full English breakfast was worth it!
here's a few pics.

Yes I remember and I did sign the petition too! This is GREAT news.

Congratulations to Lake!!!!

Oh, and the place looks terrific as well as that menu!! KUDOS!!


PS: The only suggestion I'd make is to improve on the "STAFF" T-shirts with a cool Filling Station Cafe logo.....get a graphics designer to do a really cool one and then he could also sell the T-Shirts

I remember and I also signed the petition. I am very glad to hear that he won. The place looks great. I wish him much success.

I second AJ's suggestions about the tee shirts.

Congratulation and like the other I also remembered and signed the petition but now I remember you never did pay me the 100 buck for signing it

Just looking at the prices and even with the currency conversion they are still cheap from my side.
