BIKE SHED TOMORROW

[Melch]

Ive got no problem with paying London prices for food, as I work there, but it was pretty poor to be honest.

If you want a laugh, go to the Bike Shed Show at Tobacco Dock if you want to see REAL hipster heaven....

I've been. I go to look at pretty motorcycles. I don't much care what people are wearing (unless it's a twat suit...obviously ).

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.

At least at the Bike Shed the overwhelming odour of beard oil masks any noxious niffs.

'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..

It would indeed be a dichotomy of emotions. Laugh, cry, cry, laugh! (I think 'laugh' would win through in the end though...so long as he had paid in full of course).

I bet you've gagged on some balls in your time though.

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.

You've got issues. How do you know they didn't know what it was, did you ask everyone in there? Where you expecting some sort of fanfare and red carpet treatment because of your Brit bike? Most odd attitude.

 

[Tricky]

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).

Allegedly MV are not going bankrupt this week so the deal should be golden.

And KTMs are so last season dahrling!

Whilst on the subject the 1190/1290s are sweet but only a fool would settle for the 1050 semi skimmed version.

Melch youre an idiot. As it happens I was talking to two of the guys from the office who came out as I was parking up. They thought it was a customised Kawasaki W650. The point I am making s that there are no bikers there, it is a clothes shop that sells bike gear and has a café? Understand?

Oh I understand all right. Do you go to these places just to sneer at people to make yourself feel superior? Who gives a flying fuck whether it is full of bikers? It's a cafe/restaurant with a motorcycle theme. Like it? Go there! Don't like it? Stay away. Fucking hell! You must have known it was at the hipster end of the spectrum, it's in Shoreditch for Christ's sake.. Why go if your mind is already made up? Hoping to show them what a 'real' biker was? Grrrr, you da man.

It most likely won't last for years and years. Those sorts of things don't. They have a shelf life. Such is the way of things. I daresay the owner is astute enough to realise that.

Stick to places where the 'real' bikers go (Whatever they are) You can all bore each other to death about how your brand of motorcycling is so superior....wanker.

Mmmmm, can do better.
Perhaps you are aiming at his level though.

I thought my 'gagging on balls' was good though and you just fucking ignore it. I wonder why I bother sometimes (incoming!!!! ).

You should go there, you sound like its your sort of place. Ive been there several times, I ride past it most days. Youre very funny.... if a bit of a cock.

I've been there (once). It was ok. No great rush to go back. You keep going back to a place you dislike with a clientele that you have disdain for. Who's the cock?

I never noticed

Remind me, what does the Ace cafe sell, Tshirts, badges. I've been to the bike shed a few times but only once on my bike. I suppose that classes me as one of those non bikers that you saw ?

Melch, I go there occasionally because I do support it and I want it to succeed. I quite like the place itself and the bike is safe in front of the tables. But apart from 4 shiny customs in the clothes shop it has absolutely nothing to do with motorcycles or motorcycling but lots to do with male grooming and clothes. I'm an 18 stone tattooed skinhead and don't really do much male grooming....

I think you've got the wrong end of the stick about the clientele though, hipsters don't like US on our noisy, loud, oily bikes, not the other way round.

You're tattooed yet you criticize others for getting the same. You trot out the very reason most people use that aren't tattooed. That is that they will regret it.

I think you've got the wrong end of the stick about the clientele though, they despise US, not the other way around.

Obviously (I can't imagine they much care about me or thee either way...and why the hell should they?).

 

[The smudger]

Just incase anyones interested i went there, had the 'Eggs Benedict' and 2 cups of coffee. The bill was 14 quid, i quite liked the place to be honest, bikes are outrageously expensive but i did get a few ideas for my bike, i will return as well!

As you were chaps...

I just like motorcycles. I also like well designed interiors. I'm rather partial to tattoos as well. I don't need anyone's approval for any of my interests.

I think that just about covers it for me. Peace and love Dozer, peace and love.
