| I don't know if the person responsible for dropping off the en suite stuff was also the person who neatly stacked the matt and bases, but I tend to doubt it. |

|
|
| Smart Set commented on 08.10.05 | | Well, it was mostly covered by a plastic sheet, but the handlebars certainly looked ugly. It appeared to be abandoned, or at any rate, neglected/forgotten. |

|
| FOD40UK commented on 08.10.05 | | p.s. If it's the Aprillia 6.5 I'm thinking of, they have a plastic petrol tank, which is apparently illegal in the UK. |

|
| FOD40UK commented on 08.10.05 | | Hell no!The aprillia is worse than kitsch.Its one of the ugliest motorcycles ever.I've only ever seen one in the flesh and it wasn't a pretty sight.(rare tho'-a future classic?) |

| Smart Set commented on 08.10.05 | | Kitsch. The Aprilia? |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 08.10.05 | | Kitsch? |

| FOD40UK commented on 08.10.05 | | I was a motorcycle courier 12 yrs ago.The ace cafe was a tyre fitting shop then.I used to deliver to London a couple of times a week.Thats when I discovered the Ace.I knew it was a popular *rockers* haunt in the 50's and 60's, so I tracked it down and was surprised to see it in such a rundown state.Its nice to see it back to its former glory (tho' it is a little kitch!?)....As for Rebecca! I hope she's ok.I'll send her another note and see if I get a reply. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 08.10.05 | | But why do you think she's stopped? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 08.10.05 | | I asked because I stumbled across it the other day. I'd known it was on the NC at Wembley but I'd never seen it while actually on the NC. It's actually just off it, of course. I got a mattress pic today with a derelict Moto Aprilia 65 in the foreground. Any thoughts on that machine? |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 08.10.05 | | And I'm missing Rebecca terribly (i've tried her e-mail but they all get pinged back to me?) She'll always be the Queen of the matt to me. |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 08.10.05 | | Coupla times!Most me mates are into Harleys (out of my price league) and I've been down to a couple of their monthly doo's in the past three or so years. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 08.10.05 | | And what's your view on Rebecca's absence? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 08.10.05 | | Changing the subject, FOD - ever been to the Ace Cafe? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 08.10.05 | | I've combed the original for clues... |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 08.10.05 | | MMMMM I've copied it and zoomed in, in search of an answer, but nothing stands out. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 08.10.05 | | I've tried, but to no avail. |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 08.10.05 | | Lets see if we can work out this 401 milarkey! |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 08.10.05 | | Yes, FOD, but just for this one title. I see you got the Corgi's name nearly right. |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 08.10.05 | | Short term memory loss!? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 08.09.05 | | That's very plausible, V3, but the dump shuts at 5 in summer, and anyway that wasn't it. I'm amazed that I've forgotten so completely. |
|
|
| Vogon3 commented on 08.09.05 | | the dump shuts at 4:00 |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 08.08.05 | | Can someone help? I've absolutely no idea why I called this pic "401" !! |
