Title: Ace Cafe meet - Sunday 23/03/2014 12:00
Post by: TuonoV on 29 January 2014, 10:18:24 pm


I mentioned doing another Ace Cafe meet to a few foccers, hopefully you can make the date. 12:00 seems about the right time for some chilli chips with cheese.


For the first time in 4 years, I'll actually be there on a bike! I'll be the one with the big grin on my face


Hope to catch up / meet some the old and new foccers alike!

work really is a pain isn't it. We've give the world industrialization, trading, manufacturing
And the service industry.
Surely it is now time for the world to pension Britain (minus Scotland of course) off and allow us work free life :)

Those are great pictures. Good on you!
Of all of the charity events I've done, surprisingly none of them have been to do with bikes.
I think it's inevitable that one day soon I'll end up doing a big rally or something for charity

Ho ho. Well it seems the petcock on the zzr has a leak, new rubber rings didn't fix it, so stuck waiting for new parts. Read into it as you will. ;-) Either way should make it over to Ace tomorrow, might stop by Blackheath for 10am on route if up early enough.
