On a first date I'd let the lady choose the location, a place where she would feel secure like a restaurant or other public venue, a cookout, cook-off, biker rally/benefit, group motorcycle ride through the countryside, or something of that nature.

Hey how about lunch or bar meal first followed by a walk down the beach to get to know each other first.

Causal day in the Sun, riding and having fun getting there. I love all sports Baseball in Summer and NFL in the winter. Season Ticket Holder to the Falcons for years. I love concerts and all kinds of music.

Let's meet for a drink listen to some music get to know each other,see if the chemistry is there,you will know as soon as you walk in the door.

I think it is best to meet during the day for coffee or something like that to see if there is a connection. It can be very awkward if there isn't a connection to sit through a dinner or other activity that takes a while to finish.
