Now available at the cafe and from the Ace Cafe's web shop, and celebrating the 10th anniversary of the cafe having fully reopened, the comprehensive new book "Ace Times, speed thrills and tea spills, a cafe and a culture" relates and illustrates the definitive history of London's Ace Cafe, a roadside pull-in that opened in 1938 and became the most famous haunt of the motorcycle riding "Ton-up kids" in the 50s and the Rockers in the 60s. The book also tells the story of other venues and cafes, like the 59 club, the Busy Bee and others elsewhere around the country.
A substantial high quality hardback publication, over seventy years in the making, packed with personal recollections and evocative photographs, Ace Times also features the fastest motorcycles, the loudest music, the iconic movies and the distinctive clothing and styles of the cafe racing era. Burn ups, press hysteria, rock n roll riots, police baiting, Mods and Rockers, pirate radio, and loads more besides, all unambiguously revealed.
Mick Duckworth, the author of this hard-bound publication from Redline Books, will be signing copies at Ace Cafe London on Sunday 24th April (Norton & BSA Day) and on the Ace stand on Southend seafront Easter Monday 25th April, occasion of the cafe's 13th annual Southend Shakedown.

Two of the most famous names in UK motorcycling are coming together in 2011 to stage a series of London-based events for biking enthusiasts. Warr's Harley-Davidson will host a year long series of Harley® Nights in partnership with the Ace Cafe London on the last Thursday of every month, starting on Thursday 31st March.
The opening event will feature an exhibit from Warr's Kings Road Customs and the iconic Harley® dealership will stage the opening round of a customisation competition. Judging of H-D® accessorised bikes will take place on the night, with the opportunity for winners to be crowned each month. All monthly victors will receive a £250 Parts & Accessories voucher for use at Warr's dealerships and be invited to a grand prize-giving for the overall winner at the Ace Cafe London on Thursday 27th October.
Warr's will also be at the Ace all day on Sunday 10 April with the travelling Warr's Harley Museum and Kings Road Custom for Real Classics day. As Europe's oldest authorised Harley® dealership, the Warr family has an impressive collection of vintage motorcycles from the legendary Motor Company®, which are sure to impress.
However, the key date not to be missed is the Bank Holiday weekend extravaganza in August. Warr's and the Ace will link up for a four-day festival at the iconic venue, which has been devised, designed and built by passionate petrolheads for an individual and authentic experience that combines music and machines. In addition to the Kings Road Customs display, Warr's will have a demo truck and full fleet of bikes to provide free test rides for visitors, which can be booked online in advance.
"We're really pleased to be working closely with the Ace this year," said Warr's Managing Director John Warr. "Ace Cafe London has an incredible heritage and is iconic amongst bikers. As both Warr's and the Ace are London-based, it made sense to forge a relationship that we believe is a perfect partnership, bringing lots of benefits and opportunities for all our riders and visitors."
Mark Wilsmore, Ace Managing Director said "'To be working with Warr's, Europe's oldest and most successful Harley-Davidson dealership, is something that can only be good news for all. We are excited to have them on board, particularly during this 10th anniversary year of the cafe having been fully reopened."
