Brilliant place brilliant people the Ace was my place to go in the sixties as a rocker, just bought a new bonneville 120 gonna go back there as probably one of the oldest rockers at 74 but who cares 😂
You can't beat the ace cafe. I've been to Harley meets and to be honest...most are up their arse. You go to the ACE...motto guzzi, Vespa, Triumph, Ducati...you name it. Just love of the same thing. Makes me proud
Although it was closed in 1959 only reopening in 1998, but memories fade I guess. Perhaps that's why so many people talk about being there in the 60s,70's and 80's which would have been tricky.
hard men with hearts of gold for the genuinely in need, who remembers, down to the roundabout and back before the record on the duke box ended, ? i don't know, if anybody, ever, actually beat the record playing on the box ? but i doubt it. yep, one of my old hang outs, when i was a youngster. fond memories. really nice, to see, that the old spirit hasn't died
Used the" Ace" late 50s and 60s in my 1937 Studebaker "Straight 8" would spend weekends after the pubs shut driving back and forwards between "The Ace" and the "Busy Bee" on the Watford by-pass. Hardly anything on the roads Happy days!!! Long live Rock N Roll! PC 49
Great Briton once had an Empire and the working class had the Ace off the North circular . India was once in the Empire and now have the Royal Enfield and going from strength to strength . KEEP IT UP LADS ,were all people of this world . Thank you for a great production , could only be narrated with a voice like that .
Great place to stop for a cuppa and sausage sandwich when I'm out visiting customers in the area of Park Royal NW London. Even the police stop for their lunch there and many other business people like me [though I'm a biker] or any other people. It's better than a Macdonalds or other crappy chain food places. Plus did the Reunion 1998 ride to Brighton.
The song at 4:17 is 'Ton Up' by my friend Norm Elliott's band Norm & the Nightmarez from the album 'Psychobilly Infection' available from Western Star Records.
Had to go there a couple of times but it was all a bit too corporate, plastic and gammony for me. Either that or hundreds of kids on bikelife type scooters. We found a real transport cafe where all the bikers meet up, not run by an ex copper and we don't get asked to leave for a Toyota MR2 day. It must have been great in the 60's but it's not the same place now.
