1. Ace Cafe News - Margate Meltdown Run‏

   Posted on 9:00am Wednesday 14th May 2014

   MARGATE MELTDOWN  Bank Holiday Monday 26th May
   
   Depart Ace Cafe: 10.30am
   Route: A406 - A13 - M25 - A2 - M2 - A299 to Margate seafront

   The 7th annual Margate Meltdown is the most recently established of Ace Cafe London's free to attend major ride outs.

   The ride out from the cafe to this popular seaside resort in Kent has been held each year on occasion of the annual Spring Bank Holiday. Margate seafront and harbour is given over to motorcycles and scooters, diverse club and trade stands, a stage with live entertainment from Noon,
   featuring on the Ace stage the semi-acoustic sounds of The Elbeats, together with rockin' DJ's Bill & George Guntrip.

   Working closely with the cafe's chosen charity for this event, The Royal British Legion Riders Branch (RBLRB), the town and Thanet District Council, Margate not only has everything that a great ride out requires, but also a great beach and plenty of heritage to include a legacy from the 1960s that is of world renown relating to motorbikes, scooters and the Mods & Rockers that rode them!

   This year marks the 50th anniversary of the infamous Mods & Rockers clashes of 1964!

3. Ace Cafe News - Italian Bike Day Meet Phil Read!‏

   Posted on 6:49am Thursday 1st May 2014

   Published by Redline Books, it tells the story of Britain's most successful living motorcycle road racer, who started out on a bike bought by his doting mother in 1956, and entered big-time racing with an Isle of Man TT victory in 1961. Three years later, in 1964 (this year being the 50th anniversary) Phil took his first World title - also the first for the manufacturer that he was riding for, Yamaha.
   
   Four more Yamaha mounted titles followed, and in 1973 and again in 1974 two more titles with the Italian MV Augusta Team. His eighth World Championship, on a 810cc Honda, was the Formula 1 TT race of 1977 - on very wet roads!
   
   Meet Phil and read his frankly told story of life in the grand prix circus, the glamour, the danger, the money, the politics etc.
