Product Description

Product Description

During the 1960s swarms of motorcyclists roamed along London's North Circular Road in nightly "burn ups". Their pit stop was the Ace Cafe at Stonebridge Park. This is their story as told by the boys who raced and the policemen who chased, woven against a background of contemporary reports.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ace Cafe Then And Now, 24 Feb 2008
By A. R. Smith "ewok" (Northampton, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What an ace book. A history which covers the site before it became the ace, through the greasy spoon truck-stop years to the motorcycle hang-out heyday of the sixties. Further chapters follow with the reopening of the Ace, which as we know has gone from strength to strength. As a South London greaser, we never got to the Ace, as North and South London bikers rarely mixed. The book is evocative of the whole era, with honourable mentions to the busy bee and the dugout as well. If you are nto biker history or just old bikes it is well worth a read. Brilliant.

I love these sorts of books that show the then and now history of things past, the Ace Cafe book is no exception, my dad used to go in there everyday on the way home from work when he worked in Harlesden, no doubt, the 50's was the golden era of the Ace for you motorcycle enthusiasts, thankfully the Ace has been saved and restored to something like the original 50's ACE, so read this great book, lots of great incidental info in here!
