Cool! So they finally opened it? I first heard about them opening it about a year ago or so.

Soooo...Is it going to be a full time "Ace Cafe" or just something sponsored by the Ace Cafe? I was reading through those websites, and found it to be very confusing.

Im also a bit confused but it looks like it may be a full time thing. Either way its a destination ride in August for sure.

hey rocket bob: maybe they'd let you or i bring a modern bike because the *average* age of rider and bike would qualify as vintage. The average manufacture date of me and my america would be 1976 after all.

I was hoping to make it up there Sunday, but if I read everything right, all the action is happening on Saturday.

I was the recipient of an "ACE" patch from a BA.com brother over the pond a few years back. Later whilst attending the Nelson raid, a British gent approached saying "you've been to the Aice?".

A bit after the fact, I know, but did any of you make it to this event?

And if so, why didn't you come over and say hello? I was there performing with the Ride and Glide stunt team...
