|  A Night Out At The Ace Cafe London Anyone out there fancy a meet/night out at the Ace Cafe London? Let me know and I'll arrainge something, there's always stuff going on down there: Rock'n'Roll band's, Classic Bikes, American Hot-Rods, Ride-Out's e.t.c It has quite an interesting history, dating back to the thirties, to the Fifties when the leather boy's would drop a penny in the Juke Box then go for a burn up and see who got back first before the record finished, right up to the present day, with ride-out's, railly's and  Police led Safer Rider Training Day's.It would also be nice to put faces to the names from the forum.... |

| Re: A Night Out At The Ace Cafe London controversial I know - I have been a few times over the last few years but to be honest it is not the place it was in the 50's the days of the Ton up Club, it is the same building just of the Inner Ring Road or North Circular A406. I feel it is much commercialised now and whilst it is a meeting place for bikers I think the personality has long gone from the place. It is essentially a greesy spoon with motorcycle parifinalia. But hey when you get a carpark full of bikes in September ready for the Ace Cafe Reunion ride down to Brighton that is a real buzz - Police esscorting thousands and thousands of bikes through the city going through all those camera's which are flash happy every bike causing them to flash (likely as not a ticket is issued that day) - once in Brighton the attmosphere is electric - never have you seen so many bikes... That is a ride to make the effort to be part of. If you get the chance go to the Ace even if it is just to say you have been there. |

|  Re: A Night Out At The Ace Cafe London Have to say Nomad, "Life is what you make it" I can't honestly say that I see the Ace as just a greasy spoon, they've always got stuff going on down there. Anyhow, my point is that it would make a great meeting place for those of us that can get there to meet up for a bit of a social.... Mind you, good point about the Brighton ride in September, have any of you guy's from up North got relatives or friend's here in London you could stay with for that one? If you didn't mind crashing on my floor I'd be willing to accomodate a couple of you. Let me know what you think guy's & girl's. I'd have to check the date for that also as i'm away in Cyprus mid September on me hol's.... |

| Re: A Night Out At The Ace Cafe London This looks like a good one guys! ACE CAFE REUNION AS PART OF THE CAFE'S 70TH ANNIVERSARY LET'S DO IT AGAIN! THE 15th ANNUAL ACE CAFE REUNION 12th/13th/14 September 2008 Independently acclaimed as the world's coolest motorcycle event! Taking place over three days, the annual Ace Cafe Reunion Weekend & Ride With The Rockers celebrates the unique history, culture and style of the Ace Cafe and what it represents. The event acts as a focus in the motorcycling calendar for all those who are not only interested in the Ace Cafe, Ton Up and Rocker heritage, but also for many others who enjoy a weekend full of motorbikes and fun! Over the years, Ace Cafe London has forged lasting and strong links to the global motorcycling community, which is reflected by the many visitors from overseas, one of the largest contingents being The Continental Run, which starts with a party at Cafe Hubraum in Solingen, Germany, before departing the next morning to cross Holland, Belgium and France, gathering numbers en route to the ferry, arriving at the cafe late afternoon, and culminating in an evening of rock 'n' roll! The Brighton Burn Up & Ride With The Rockers, has been an integral part of Ace Cafe Reunions since 1996, and is a free, grand day out at the seaside on Brighton's famous seafront road, Madeira Drive. With trade and club stands, displays, live music and special guests, it's an experience not to be missed! http://www.ace-cafe-london.com/Reunion.aspx |
