Any cool places to hang out in SE London? Info on Ace Cafe?

[M4RK]

Hey,

I've been thinking about getting a bike for ages, but since passing my driving test in March, a car has been a more practical option for what I need. I still go back and forwards loads about getting a bike, and if I manage to change my job and get some more money coming in, I might be more tempted to take a CBT and get a little 125.

I just wanted to see if there were any places near me in South East London where riders show off their bikes (and/or cars). I wanted to see if there were any real places like you see in all the films where people show off what they've got, hang out, and perform stunts etc.

I know about Ace Cafe in North West London, which I hope to go to on one of the street fighter days/nights...but I was hoping there might be somewhere else closer to me.

Any help would be appreciated,

Cheers,

Mark

You got Box hill Surrey way, High Beech in Epping, A127 Dinner and Dick Turpin both on the A127 nr Wickford. ok not London but not that far from you..

Ok, thank you...my closest might be Ace Cafe as I mentioned then...has anyone been before?

Box hill is bigger and a nicer ride. High beech is pretty good too. The Ace is good but the area is shit a crap rie there.

Oh right, ok...I'll have to try and go to boxhill then sometime.

Will go to the MCN Motorcycle show at the excel in February, that would be wicked...might even go a couple of days depending how good it is. Hopefully will see quite a bit of stunts and action there, as well as some wicked bikes.

Will have a look at those now. That's alright, I'd go now if I didn't have a bike just for the experience and to talk to people.

Thank you,
