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.
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.
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 .
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
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
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.
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.
Good loving video: But one question, is the cafe in the area of London where you have to pay the congestion charge even on a motorcycle? It's been 10(?) years since I was last there.
you dont pay congestion charge for a motorcycle, the ulez though is chargable to some bikes that were made before 2007, classic bikes though are exempt

Had to laugh at the spite of 59 patch at the start, the people so against the ace cafe, Mark and the 59 club but yet there they are, oh the irony.
MINDS A 56 650cc TRIUMPH TROPHYBIRD as the YANKS CALLED IT IVE HAD it 42 yrs ALL CHROME Black & Ivory WIDE BARS and Waist high pipes ☺👌👌👊👏👏g
But do any of the Mods or Teddy Boys show to give the Rockers a bit of a dust up?
TEDS and Rockers FOREVER !!!R&R Rules ok.T.C.B.The King IS STILL Riding Up there !!!g
Anybody know the song at 4:40?
you probably already found it, but it's called Ton Up by Norm & The Nightmarez
Hasdey I actually didn’t. Thanks 🙏🏼
@@niklas5658 No problem at all.
I’ve met so many people who claim to have been regulars in the 70s and 80s 😂😂😂
und was ist daraus entstanden?? mehr oder weniger der amerikanische rocker und schopper scheisdreck !!!
Kein einziger chopper gesehen. Der Britische biker szene ist nicht vergleichen mit der Harley scheiss
Nice vid matey xden
