Overland Adventure day at the Ace Café, Sunday 21st April

[Roberto]

Yesterday was a pleasant morning. The sun shone, birds sang in the trees, a gentle wind blew from the gas works. So after an early rise I decided to take a run up to the 'Overland Adventure Day' at the Ace Café.

Ah.. to be out on the bike on a pleasant day.

I'm nastily cut up at some bloke in a shiny dress and a silly hat at Palmers Green so I give him some motoring advice.

We passed Tesco's on the A406 at which point there is a strong pull to the left for the slip road. I resisted the bikes' drawing to its spiritual home of the car park and carried on regardless.

Shortly after 9 we arrived at the Ace. There were flocks of miffed rocket jockeys who were denied parking at the front.

The Ace..

Right. First things first, a spot of breakfast..

A Harley by the door..

The legend..

Pretty bike..

 

[Roberto]

A rather nice and well kept 650..

I'd be interested in taking the KTM centre's loaner for a spin..

Time for a tea refill..

Quite a few bikes you could 'eat yer dinner off', this amongst them. And the spots on this S10 seemed to be a popular farkle.

Beauty and the beast. With beauty is in the eye of the beholder you can make your own mind up..

 

[Roberto]

Tossers present. Who then?

A few of these Hondas dotted about..

I say, that's rather nice..

Room for a little 'un..

Before 10am, many bikes here and they're coming in thick and fast..

You're a tiger… raaarrrrr..

As seen round 'ere..

I bought some new light gloves from The Adventure Bike shop stand..

Not all so-called 'adventure' bikes today. This thing made a bit of noise and looked quite unlike anything I've ever come across before this side of a sci-fi movie..

Tool Tubes are not it seems confined to the BMW brigade..

Are you lookin' at me..?

SE, senor..

 

[Roberto]

I like the 660..

A heartfelt plea from all at the Ace

This one again..

An enjoyable meander with the Ace not far from me.

With the mission over I returned home to my footy club end of season do and got thoroughly pissed. A lovely Sunday. Happy days.

Did you see this bad boy...

Ha! Yes I did and I most certainly heard it. Good to see someone got a snap of it as he buggered off before I got there.
The thing was so mahoosive it looked like it was being piloted by a gnome..
