A biker's guide

Looking for somewhere new to ride this summer? We've put together some suggestions for great places to ride your motorcycle in the South East!

Scroll down to see these destinations and find out why you should ride there...

Where to ride your motorcycle this summer - Boxhill

Boxhill has been a popular haunt for bikers for years. Not only is Boxhill like an evergreen haven not too far from London, but the 4-mile-long Zig Zag road is something you have to experience. As one of the summits of the North Downs, if you're also a fan of walking in nature, the sights from the viewpoints are breathtaking. There are also some great places to eat... Rykas (RH5 6BY) or Smith & Western (KT20 7LB).

Where to ride your motorcycle this summer - Detling Diner

If you have been riding in Kent, you're probably familiar with "Mickey's", formerly known as Bangers. The Detling Diner roadside cafe on Detling Hill serves cooked breakfasts and draws in plenty of other local bikers! Hang out with like-minded people, make new biker mates and head out for the day. (ME14 3HT)

Where to ride your motorcycle this summer - Route 1066 Cafe

The Route 1066 Café is another great biker cafe that has been around for a long time. Out the front, there is plenty of parking, and inside there is plenty to choose from on the menu. Sitting at the side of the A21, stop off for a bite to eat and head on to Hastings for the day. (TN32 5JH)

Where to ride your motorcycle this summer - H's Cafe

Our Kent Motorcycles showroom in Canterbury is home to the superb H's Café. Here we offer a fantastic selection of food including all-day breakfasts, our much-loved bacon rolls, lunchtime specials, and a great range of hot and cold drinks. We also offer vegetarian options and our high-quality products are all sourced locally. There are also some fantastic roads around that way! (CT4 6SA)

Where to ride your motorcycle this summer - Rye

Goudhurst is a quaint village in Tunbridge Wells with some lovely local pubs. The roads around there can get a little tight at certain points, but ride safe and appreciate the twisties and the scenery. Driving past Bedgebury Forest, it'd be easy to forget you were still in the UK. Why not take a bimble to the coastal town of Rye for a coffee? The Quay is pretty popular! (TN31 7DA)

Where to ride your motorcycle this summer - Canterbury

Not only is Canterbury a great place to visit, but the Canterbury Road (A252) offers a great journey full of straights and twisties through Charing. Over in Charing, there's also a bike night at the Red Lion, every Thursday 6pm - 9pm. (TN27 0AU)

Where to ride your motorcycle this summer - Tenterden

If you're the type of biker who likes to stop off in a quaint little town and grab a coffee to then head off onto some great roads, then Tenterden is right up your street. Head into the town on the A28, and chuck a left at the last turn, joining the B2082. Watch our for horses! The Brunch & Brew is highly recommended... (TN30 6HP)

Where to ride your motorcycle this summer - Whitstable

Join the A20 towards Ashford for some really good grub at the Airport Café (TN25 6DA). Don't be fooled when you arrive, it is not just a truck stop, it's a great quirky place to fuel up before heading to the coast. Follow the B2068 which will take you through Canterbury, and then welcome you to Whitstable.

Wherever you ride this summer...

Ride safe!

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a lender on our panel, which includes lenders of vehicle manufacturers. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose. Lenders of vehicle manufacturers may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.
