Not directly NC related but as I'm always interested to learn about motorcycling in other countries I though I would take a chance and start this thread. The most iconic bike meeting place is the Ace Cafe on Londons North Circular Road. originally a transport cafe when the North circular was part of the main route from London to the North it was soon adopted by bikers at night and weekends. With the coming of the motorways it closed down and became a tyre depot until by the efforts of one man it was reopened as a bike cafe. We used to use it on a fairly regular basis in the 60s until it closed down and now try to get there when we can.
The only famous meeting place (other than rallies like Daytona & Sturgis) that I know of in the USA is the Rock Store and I don't really know much about that. I would be interested to hear about other famous meeting places both in the USA and other countries.
I hope you folks don't find this too boring
The Ace Cafe or as locals would pronounce it caff

These gates to the park opposite were put up as a tribute by the local council. The railway arches go over the N.Circular road and were sadly the place more than one rider met his end during a "Burn Up"
