A ride to the 'Ace Cafe' to celebrate its 86th year...From the 'Ace' we take a ride to the legendary '59' Club to have our bikes blessed by the lovely Rev.Jane.
It was nice that "Lady Jane Farv" was able to bless the motor bikes and keep a tradition alive. May all who ride the Blessed bikes remain safe and ride through heavy traffic in a charmed way with the cagers moving aside to let you through; And also may the blessed bikes engines and transmissions never fail or wear out and always pass the MOT every year, but most importantly may the blessed bikes tyres always have good traction even on ice and snow and their brakes never fail even if they are Royal Enfield bybre's :)
Thanks for taking us along on your ride Dickie, very interesting. Having only ever read a few articles in magazines it was great to see the place in person through your video. It looks like you and Collin had a good day out. It was good to see that the church still supports it all. I hope the continental survived the heat ok. Thanks again for taking us along on the ride. Cheers from Australia
@@waynehiggs6529 Hi Wayne.. We were both in our element at that place.. Egg and chips and a cuppa tea mate 😄.. Seriously though it’s part of the British bike history and culture..Was a fantastic day.. Thanks for tuning in as always,all the way from Aus…Take care mate 👍
I used to work with a guy from London who said he'd been a member of the 59 Club in his youth. Be in his mid/late 70s now. Didn't ride anymore at the time but he had a Vincent in bits in his garage.
A great film there Dickie thank you, I didn’t know anything about the ace cafe, I’m from far up north so it’s definitely not local to me. It appeared to be a great day out, the traffic around London looks horrendous, I don’t go to Birmingham or London the traffic just spoils the trip out for me. Thank you for the film, it was great to see some classic bikes out on the run, I look forward to the next film, much appreciated and as always, take care. 👍👍👍
@@chrisholt2474 Hi Chris.. Naa, you don’t want to be driving into London too often..Apart from the busy madness it was a lovely interesting day..Glad you enjoyed the vlog Chris.. Take care 🙂👍
Thanks for going to the trouble of filming this Dickie,really enjoyed learning about some important motorcycling History most of it I knew little about especially the fascinating Blessing part,hope you can get your other Bikes Blessed too maybe 🙏🏻 Amen .
@@michaeljewell53 Hi Michael and thank you… Having the Continental GT blessed was a big part of that day for me.. Being my Cafe racer project it links it in with the history and heritage associated with those type of bikes and the Ace Cafe..Will be doing a vlog on the next stage of fitting parts to it soon.. 👍ATB
The last time I was at the Ace Ricky Nelson and Marty Wylde were on the Juke Box. 6d one record, 3 for a shilling. Tea was About 4d a cup. I didn't recognise all those buildings in the back ground Dickie, they weren't there in 1962...😊
@@johnbiddal5951 Crikey! That was the year I was born John..You’ll have to get back up there for a breakfast and stick a few pound coins in the dukebox ..Breakfast was about £11 😄👍
The 59 club celebrated their 60th anniversary in 2019. At that event we ride with 59 club from ace cafe to st Paul's cathedral for the anniversary. I was born in Hackney sick and our church St. Mary's of Eton is where in 1959 the club was set up by reverend John Oats. In 60s reverend Bill Shergold joined church and introduced bikers to church, whom he met at Ace cafe. And from then the 59 club and ace cafe forever became entwined
@@richardgourlay5191 Hi Richard.. Firstly, thanks for watching… Didn’t know about Reverend Oates…I now stand corrected.. It’s a shame you weren’t sat next to Colin in the cafe… Would of been fascinating talking to you I’m sure…We really enjoyed our day at the ‘Ace’ and no doubt will be back next year with the breakfast crew in tow…Take care Richard 👍
Thanks for sharing that was an interesting day , I’ve never heard of the 59 club . Hope your bike ok with the overheating? I have to admit I would get lost if I went to London , back in 1979 I used to go to London quite often on my Kawasaki Z1000st and always found the London bikers very friendly and they always looked after us. It’s amazing how the years go so quick 😊😊
Hi, sorry for the late reply just spotted your message 🙂..... London's not my favourite place i must say...Bikes OK, they're tough little things are Enfields..Z1000 ST in 1979.. Wow..I was riding a Honda 250 Super Dream 😄 👍ATB
