  1. A brilliant laughter filled day, with some fantastic roads to ride...

    Posted on

    We had all set off early for the day, my brother came with us and Sarah, his sister-in-law was pillion that day. We set off from Huddersfield up towards Devils Bridge in Kirkby Lonsdale for breakfast. Then rode to Lake Windermere for lunch back down through The Trough and Forest of Bowland for afternoon tea.
     
    Puddleducks Cafe is where we had afternoon tea at Dunsop Bridge, this is where the attached photographs were taken. It was a full days riding and very eventful.

    As we left Devils Bridge, the four riders got split up in traffic and ended up taking two different routes to Windermere - myself and Roz went via Newby Bridge, my brother Simon, his sister-in-law pillion Sarah and Jackie went direct through Levens and Crosthwaite, surprisingly ending up at Windermere with less than five minutes between us!

    It was a brilliant laughter filled day, with some fantastic roads to ride.

    Posted on

    Check out the Ace Cafe London shop for a wide range of  Xmas gifts, including the critically acclaimed ‘Ace Times, Speed thrills and tea spills, a cafe and a culture” book, which relates and illustrates the definitive history of London’s Ace Cafe, a roadside pull-in that opened in 1938 and became a famous haunt of the motorcycle-riding ‘Ton Up Kids’ in the 50’s and the Rockers in the 60’s.  The book also tells the story of other venues and cafes, like the 59 Club, the Busy Bee and others elsewhere around the country.

    A substantial high quality hardback publication, packed with personal recollections and evocative photographs, Ace Times also features the fastest motorcycles, the loudest music, the iconic movies and the distinctive clothing and styles of the cafe racing era. Burn ups, press hysteria, rock n’ roll riots, police baiting, Mods and Rockers, pirate radio, and loads more besides, all unambiguously revealed.
