Racing Along London's North Circular

Were I to recommend one stop for the Full English Experience I'd point the anglo-inclined toward Mark and Linda Wilsmore's Ace Cafe, a black-and-white nirvana for leather-clad rockers, great grub, Carlo Little tribute nights, Mod 'n' Mini Meets (next one: 3 July) and other petrol-fueled mayhem.

Natch it's a dead cert hang-out for Rapiers; Dave Lawes memorialised the place on Breakfast at the Ace, from 1987's Return of The Rapiers.

They call it "The Cult of the Ton-Up Boy"—wild wild youth testing speed, reflexes and nerve over asphalt.

Oi! "Breakfast at the Ace" soundtracks more moto-imaging, courtesy YouTuber JohnnyRazor60.

Looks, noise and speed. From Bike Channel.com, Ace co-owner Mark Wilsmore and devotees explain what makes a cafe racing machine.
