Just a reminder to get this back on the forum list. We are aiming to be at the ACE between 11am and 2pm. Hope to see some of you there.

Not being as hardy as those founding members we are planning to drive down from Lincolnshire in the van, find somewhere to park and then ride in to the Ace. Not being familiar with the area does any one have any suggestions where we can park the van for a few hours in the Edgware area?

Thanks Steve & Graham

When I had to go down the smoke, I used to park the car in one of the side roads near Kilburn tube station then go into town on the tube. Haven't done it for a while so I don't know if the parking restrictions have changed now.

PS... I live in Lincolnshire now. Moved up here 3 years ago.
I'm from the Fens.... Gimme six.

EMISSION ZONES in London. The emission zone rules for London are complicated and automatic number plate recognition driven. Things to know
1. All vehicles with historic tax status do not have to pay for any emission zone (nor the Congestion charge if it is a motorcycle).
2. The LEZ (Low emission zone) is pretty much the whole of the area just a few miles inside the M25 and there is a charge 24 hours a day 364 days a year for non compliant vehicles. You can check if your Van or non historic bike is compliant here https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/check- ... tcmp=36576. If it isn't you need to either pay, or park outside the zone and ride in.
3. The ULEZ (ultra low emission zone) is everything within the north and south circular. However so long as you stick to the north circular the ACE cafe (and the junction to get to it) is just outside the zone. (travel on the North and South circular is outside the zone).

Best thing is to ride a registered historic tax motorcycle and you can go anywhere in London without worrying about the LEZ, ULEZ or Congestion charge! :rofl:

With the need to stay virus free so we can look after family with dementia I'm avoiding all group meetings. So I apologise for not attending but hope the day stays dry and clear.

Going to the ACE cafe will be far safer than a committee meeting all outside and keep your helmet on,😂😂👍

I'm in a very similar situation and still avoid any social contact except with my two local sons and once a week with two section pals at least 2m apart in their sheds (and they make me stand at the open door to let the fag smoke out). Anyway, when visiting Thrifty Peter I prefer to stand outside in the warm.
