  1. An Ace Day!

    Posted on

    Celebrating the history and heritage of the Ace 25 years after it had closed in 1969, the first Ace Cafe Reunion was held at the legendary North London premises in 1994. The event reinforced the cultural importance of the Ace Cafe. Many motorcyclists and rock n` roll heroes cut their teeth at the Ace, going on to win on the racetrack, start bands or open clubs.

    For a great ride through the first Ace Cafe Reunion check out the film “An Ace Day”, a record of the 1994 Ace Cafe Reunion, when 12,000 people and 7,000 bikes gathered to participate in this memorable occasion. It has been widely acclaimed and includes interviews with the original patrons and subsequent generations of motorcyclists. Set to a rock n` roll soundtrack…..it`s a piece of history.

    Thirty years on, can you show us more of the ACR in 1994?

    Organised and run in the UK by MAG (Motorcycle Action Group) - ride to work day shows that Motorcycles are a key part of a multi-modal and sustainable transport future.
