Caught a break, company is sending me to London in the first week of October. Was hoping to do a little motorcycle tourism. Came across the London Motorcycle museum web site. Looked good. Worth going? Howabout the Ace Cafe. Its reopening got some press here in the US, but their web site left me wondering if it was really just a cleverly disguised tourist trap. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer:

The Ace cafe has been re-opened for several years now. Well worth a trip. First Wednesday of every month is Triumph night.

London Motorcycle museum? I have never been there. It looks like it started out as a private collection on a farm, and sort of grew into a museum. Again, I'm sure it's worth a trip. Better still if you have time, head up to tthe national museum.

Yep you gotta go to the Ace Caffe! There are many MC Museums all around the UK. Take your pick.

Not to hijack, but are Triumphs much more common on the streets over there than here in the U.S.? As i'm sure you Brits have noticed, we often post about having seen another triumph as tho we'd just seen bigfoot. Just wondering if being the birthplace of Triumph if it's much different over there or are your streets also much more full of Harleys and Japanese bikes with Triumphs seemingly as hard to find as gold?
