Riding and racing bikes since I was around 12. Unfortunately I wasn't old enough to pass my test until 1981 but still riding a Norton Dominator 99 cafe racer, building an 88 cafe racer. I have a Domiracer Lowboy replica (Halfway through a rebuild), a Yamaha Fzr1000 and a SOHC Honda 750/4, oh, and a Bantam D14/4 trials bike project. I guess it never leaves some of us 😁
Today the chap in this video Paul pulled over to talk about my Bike and asking if I still go to the meets at the 59 club. I was at Hertford Hospital getting a blood test. We had a good chinwag about the old days and doing the Iron bridge and attempting to hit the magic ton. Paul sends his best regards to all that remembers him. Due to I’ll health he can’t travel far so can’t make the meet at the Ace on Sunday 27th Feb……
The wild one with Marlon pretty much gave birth to these boys. Marlon rocking the perfecto leather and riding a British triumph motorcycle. Is what these boys were emulating.
I was a member, lived in Orpington , had a bsa tiger club, Royal Enfield crusader sports, 650 bsa road rocket and velo venom 500. Used to go to Chelsea bridge, saltbox cafe at biggin hill, Johnson's cafe at brands hatch. Good old days.
I was in the 59 club in early 60's Loved racing up Ali Pally (Alexander Palace ) Ace cafe on North circular never made it to Busy Bee. Worked as pilot in America retired to Pennsylvania
Fab memories of the Ace cafe and Busy Bee, my new 650 Triumph Bonny only cost me £321 from Rex Judd of Edware, i use to race from the Polish War Memorial to the then Hillingdon round about and back
I'm 59 Club Member 007 305. I thought it a good number - James Bond + the fact I rode a Honda CB77 which was 305cc. The 59 Club was a fantastic place & Father Bill one of God's great servants - he helped me through a crisis in my life & I will alw hold him in a favoured place in my heart.
I was a rocker in the 60,s.......59 club....Chelsea Bridge....The Busy Bee....The Ace.......there was nothing like it ! Oh and Shakin Stevens at the 59......GREAT DAYS !
Hi I am non somker - but cigar collector due to the good smell. I love to smell cigar without smoking them. I like your videos a lot .... and your humidors !
The viewing was very interesting and especially informative in that it will provide me with the criteria I need in a controversy I had on the making of a cigar. There is quite a difference between the filler that is used in a Cuban cigar and a less quality cigar. Thank you for such an in depth production.
What do you mean by "They roll my blunts"? Blunt means to be straight forward about something, even if it something that is uncomfortable to talk about, doesn't it? Just curious, not trying to be a jerk, just never heard the word used in that manner and my father was a school teacher that constantly corrected me if I said something grammatically incorrect--yeah, a real fun childhood, but seriously he was a great man and it wasn't like it was constantly happening!
