The Bike Shed, Shoreditch High Street?

Walking Talkie building has free tickets for the top floors - amazing views. It gets booked up, but they release tickets a couple of weeks in advance... Usually on Mondays. Search for 'the sky lounge' It's in the City near Monument tube.

IWM is great, and free too! National Army Museum Chelsea used to have a WW1 bike with a sidecar and Vickers machine gun, just by the door. But it's been redeveloped so might've moved now.

Your Sgt.  and his little family (THE wife and daughter (14)) will be in London 11. - 18. June.

Wife and girl will do what they can do best: extreme money spending.

Hotel will be in Kensington at Hyde Park Gate.

Apart from the obvious tourist traps... any insider hints where we have to go / what to see?

Like the Ace and 59 Club, the Bike Shed is also a great venue if you can put up with the 'Hipsters' - https://thebikeshed.cc/

It would have been good to have met up with you and others during your stay in London Uli, but we'll be touring in Europe for the first 3 weeks in June in the TR6 (car).

Cheers
Andrew

ACE coffee next Saturday or Sunday?

[Laverda Dave]

Hi Uli, 
I can meet at the Ace next Sunday morning? 11ish is normally a good time as a few bikes will have arrived by then. Some Harleys may be there if the sun is out and there is no risk of rain or dampness!
Saturday day time is normally pretty slack at the Ace, not many bikes at all.

Bring plenty of cash with you if you want to buy any tee's, posters, stickers etc!

Let me know if you can make it.

There is also a Rickman day at the Sammy Miller museum in Milton on that Sunday, worth a trip out if you like old bikes of all nations.

11 on Sunday sounds good!

[Laverda Dave]

Uli, just to be sure, when you say next Sunday you are referring to Sunday 23rd June 👍. I'll probably be there on my CB250RSA.

I’m out of order, catched a cold and lying in the bed the whole day. I’m afraid that won’t be better tomorrow. Sad to say.
