Poole Quay Bike Night every tuesday over the summer.
 
Crazy numbers of bikes.  Not sure the tracer gets much attention vs the exotica on display

these 2 seem like typical Honda owners to me

Is she wearing a silver open face helmet or is that her hair?
I thought it might be Poole Gay Pride and they were a couple of drag queens visiting from Eastbourne

I use blackheath tea hut most days and the oakdene cafe paddock wood is good for a burger on wednesday night.
not being (too) pedantic but the Oakdene is in Wotham Heath . Wednesday is a big biker night and also attracts a lot of police attentionI often used to get stopped on my way commute home from work :-(

Being pedantic it's between Wrotham Heath and Borough Green ;). I live about three miles from there. Have seen the bikes on a Wednesday but have never actually stopped there. But often see the Police car parked beyond the Shell filling station going up the A20.

Seems Loomies in West Meon Hampshire survived when the owners gave notice to close due to nobody wanting to buy the business. 
Apparently, it has been taken over by a bunch of locals. Good luck to them

"We're at the junction of the A32 and A272 near Alton."

 
 
This cafe is great. Food has gone big time down hill and prices hiked
 
It's on the a272 a32 junction

Here's a good place to meet where the A44 & A470 cross in Rhayader, Mid Wales.
https://goo.gl/maps/tUeC1J2hvgG2 - Ty Morgan's. Nice coffee & cakes.
 
Then ride across the Aberystwyth Mountain road (loop around the Elan Valley dams if you must but I prefer the main drag over the Wye/Elan/Ystwyth watersheds) to Cwmystwyth. Some people head over to the promenade at Aberystwyth but it is a bit busy.
 
Aberaeron, close to my birth place, is a better place to stop for a bite to eat. Park on the Quayside and get a bag of chips from the New Celtic Restaurant - tables inside & outside. https://goo.gl/maps/3GpDUTR5wyG2

The cafe at Old Warden Aerodrome is a good meeting place and serves a good breakfast (and is discounted at certain times of the year as a 'Bikers Special'.
 
Lots of parking on level tarmac and quite popular with bikers and petrolheads alike, with the added bonus of the Swiss Gardens, The Aeroplane Colletion etc if you want to take a look around.
