Ace Cafe under threat of closure?

[gavin]

at the ace yesterday doing bikesafe, chatting to one of the coppers over lunch, i asked why it is that the stunting that goes on there seems so tolerated when compared to other bike meets.......i didnt exactly get a straight answer, but mark wilsmore who owns it is an ex copper, and bikesafe is well embedded there...

what he did say was that its all down to the local council, and that they could just take his licence away. he said that the ace was under threat and in trouble, and that mark was, quote, "worried"


anyone know anything about this?

Stunting is going to happen, if i was council or filth i would prefer it outside a known biker hangout like the ace than down a busy high street...

hard to tell coz it was dark,but id say the matt black style R1

& he dint have a 12 bar(too skilled to need it) but his plate was attached UNDER his undertray(so it wasnt on show,& only JUST noticed it there from the endos he was doing)

he was going from FAT wheelies then once it came down ,went into a rolling burnout & the endos were LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!

Didn't it only reopen relatively recently after yeeeears of being closed? and people met there dispite it being closed for many years.. so its going to make a massive difference closeing it again

whats funny

it makes sense to me,if his skilled as much as he was then he could 12 it without damaging the tail, as bikes go a slight bit past 12,OR DIDNT YOU KNOW THAT

Sorry, just to get this straight....

You have seen this person doing constant vertical wheelies (bike actually vertical, not 11'o'clocl or 11:30 or whatever) without touching down any part of his bike?

[JonB]

I think I know the guy you are on about on the R1, think I saw him last year.

But don't the council only gain from the Ace Cafe. It brings in a lot of people from around London and also tourists who otherwise wouldn't go to that part of London. So the council must make money from it (somehow ), so why close it down? If there were lots of deaths happening / or if it was a residential area then I can understand, but it is not.

I dunno.

I just had cheesie chips at the ace, yumm.

i nearly got caught out by the speed camera coming away from teh Ace Cafe last time i was there.

One of me mates warned us all not to go red lining it away from the lights down the sliproad cos of it.

After waiting ages at the lights me and a mate on a ninja went and red lined it down the slip road, slamming on our brakes when we finaly remembered

it was the control over all his stunts,u could just SEE the quality control
