Originality is taking a beating this morning is it not.

I thought "Space Aliens", with particular attention to "probing" was the specialty of our pet fruit-loop..... ?

Well, I think you are all full of shit, so no change there, however, you do all seem to be filling up beyond the 'F' level on the gauge right now

Are you all going through a micro life crisis thing? Anymore than 2 quid for a coffee and you are along for the ride......It costs more because of where it is, fuck me you lot will be believing your own bullshit next.

It's all part of the world elite cunning conspiracy.

Up the price of coffee, burgers and turnip stew then watch the plebs turn against each other..
And It all seems to be going to plan.

Turnips again......You lot call me predictable!
I need new material, we all need new material, someone needs to open a fucking window, all a bit stale in here.

I thought it was just me that found turnips indigestible. I feel so much better now knowing I'm not alone.

My God you really have been assimilated into the whole northern thing. What you are saying then is a restaurant in Mayfair should charge the same as the bloke on Southend seafront in the burger van for a cup of coffee. Afterall overheads don't come into it do they?

Maybe in that case I'll go and rent some workshop space in Knightsbridge. I shouldn't have to put my prices up as it won't matter where it is. Sounds like a viable business model. I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner.

What, even me?

I mean, the others, yeah I get it .......but me? L'ill ol' me??

Andres

Leave off....you've got more check shirts than you could point an exhaust wrapped stick at. And I would be prepared to bet more than a couple of quid that your jeans are of the 'selvedge' variety.

I was at Krazy Horse yesterday and they do a super bacon sarnie with a salad garnish and everything.

Had a hoon on this. The quickshifter is insane!

SALAD GARNISH!!!!!!! In a biker hangout!!!!!. Whatever next indeed. Dozer will not be happy. Still....you've still got the 'Ace Cafe'. Their sausages are so shit they're legendary (lips, arseholes and sawdust mostly). You're safe there fella. (At least until gentrification creeps to there too). When they start selling beard products at the Ace....that'll be the time to ship on out. Next stop...Wetherspoons.

That reminds me................... I'll be down that Lundun Town a week today for a meeting with a design agency followed by a shop opening /soirée in the evening for an upmarket artisan gift shop in Clerkenwell.

There will, obviously, be the age old dilema of does one provide one's own party poppers or will the host lay them on but......far more important is what to wear that will be versitile enough to cover both occasions

I'm the customer at the end of the day so have more leeway with what I wear but there are other considerations such as projecting a sense of authority and professionalism.......
I'm sort of erring towards the Hipster Biker look but maybe tone down the jewellery....... then again it's also an excuse to go out at the weekend and maybe shop for a new, fresher look Possibly a man bag even, or has the time for one long since gone
One thing's for sure, it's more fun and less dangerous to my health than helmet shopping

God, you are sooooo in touch with your feminine side. 'Comfortable with your sexuality' doesn't even begin to describe you. As to man bags....they are simply timeless. You can never have too many. I have to admit though, I have started wearing a rucksack more on the bike nowadays.

I'm trying to be 'more like Doris', glad to hear I'm getting it right

What you say about man bags makes me very happy. You've finally turned me and I'd hate to have missed the boat on such an iconic accoutrement.

Fuck off....

 

[Tricky]

SALAD GARNISH!!!!!!! In a biker hangout!!!!!.

Yeah. It disgusted me frankly so I left it on the side of the plate (which I also didn't return to the counter).

I had bought a James Dean T Shirt but left it in its plastic bag until I got outside. That'll show em!













Oh and I may be buying an MV Augusta TV from them but sat through the whole negotiations with my arms folded... and one of them fancy bone dome helmets and a belstaff jacket.

Think I may have made new some friends? We are now on first name terms so that counts as friendship in my book.

However I'm still sick of these kinda places.

When you say poppers.........................

Gosh, you really are the very epitome of youth rebellion.

That sounds like a money pit. (The MV I mean – Mind you a Belstaff is a bit of a money pit too nowadays)

You could buy my SuperDuke if you want something spritely. (it would be at a vastly inflated London price though. It's the location you see).

 

[Deleted account 240901001]

.... does one provide one's own party poppers.....

Take yer own..I mean...who wants to pay inflated Laaandahn prices?

Scrub that....it would break my heart to see pics of it run into a ditch full of concrete.

Ive got no problem with paying London prices for food, as I work there, but it is pretty poor food to be honest. I don't mind too much being ripped off for food as long as I like what I'm eating. Compulsory service charge too.

What I find most disappointing about the BS is that they also don't actually sell anything to do with motorcycles at all, it is literally a hipster café, that sells very expensive pre aged bike gear and retro helmets and has a barber shop.... The Ace may be a flea pit, but its been my flea pit for many years, including horrible sausages, and it is actually full of real motorcycles, not Sunday morning toys that a Graphic designer has paid someone else several thousand pounds to 'customise', as per the bikes inside the BS. None of them look like they've ever been ridden. Its a nice enough place and idea, but it seems to be trying way too hard, for what is in essence a clothes shop and café.

If you really want a laugh, go to the Bike Shed Show at Tobacco Dock if you want to see REAL hipster heaven.... 50/50 customer split between bikers, then check shirts, sleeve tattoos that they will soon be looking how to get lasered off, NHS style glasses and that silly swept back hairstyle hipsters have. Its like a uniform. Its really, really funny. Some really good custom builders tho.

Fair play to them, whatever floats your boat, but the hipster style is just a trend which will be gone in a couple of years, that happens to involve motorcycles. Its already dying out in London (so my 26 and 23 year old kids tell me), which means that particular bike scene will go too.

I'm just too old, I took my BSA A65 Lightning there and they didn't know what it was.

I was once at a sunday morning GSer meet up at the Ace cafe. Breakfast ordered and delivered to the table and all tickety boo..... then everyone present started sniffing the air and then gagging, a smell had also arrived with my breakfast. The sausage must have come from the Cretaceous period and been discovered that morning in the bottom of the freezer, to end up on my plate.
It's still spoken about when reminiscing with survivors of that morning, Oblertone being one of them will bare witness.

Still, at least it was cheap, after all that's the most important thing when it comes to bikers food emporiums.

'twould be one of those "mixed emotion" sort of things, wouldn't it? Sorrow at the damge to a nice bike and sweet joy at watching the musically untalented one land face down in wet concrete..
