    So What Exactly Is The Ace Cafe?

    Well, all Bitish bikers know full well what the Ace is, it's a bikers' cafe down on the North Circular, a few moments from that hideous Ikea. Here's a write up from myvillage.com:


    "The Ace Cafe became famous in the 1960s as a meeting point for bikers, the so-called ’ton-up’ boys who raced at high speed along the North Circular Road. Now it’s been refurbished as a shrine to bikers and the golden era of the ’ton up’ boys, with a friendly atmosphere, events and live rock n’ roll gigs.

    At the Ace Cafe, they welcome all who share their passion. A passion, based upon the authentic roots of motorbikes and rock n’ roll.

    The new café has been devised, designed and built by riders and fellow petrolheads, and invites visitors to make the most of the facilities and activities to ensure its history lives on. The way of expressing oneself, the music and the bikes have changed over the last decades, but the spirit and the motivation remains the same, non-conformist, rebellious, individual and authentic.

    What the Triton and the "Ton" meant to bikers’ in the fifties, can still be found today on a Streetfighter or modern sports bike and will endure well into the new millennium. The Ace Cafe encompasses that spirit and is here to stay. So rev it up and let the good times roll! "

    So, not just for bikers then. If you fancy a bit o' rock 'n' roll, Polish beer, decent greasy-spoon grub or a gander at whatever's on show, (we've had Subaru Imprezzas, Old Fords and Custom Bikes, to name but a few) then the Ace is worth popping down to.

    Oh, and they do a gorgeous leather jacket, with all the accessories...
