Illegal Racing at the Ace Cafe

[fattossa]

i think its great man, long live the ACE....

[mrchuka]

Thomas, howdy!

[randalt63]

well who won?

[elbuccanero]

@randalt63 The Captain (blue eyes) won - we wanted to have a major bloody crash at the end where I died (red eyes) but the budget (zero pounds) wouldn't stretch to that!

[randalt63]

@elbuccanero i have a shortcut to this vid on the computer and have watched it many times. you could not have picked a better song. i will be listening to it thru my wisconsin winter while waiting to come out to play once again. great job shooting.

[TheMrBxyz]

gReeeaeeEEEeeeeeaaat stuffs...love it!

[scottlowe123]

omg for anyone who watch's Ideal on bbc3 Craig the twin 0:33 lol haha nice video shibarishamster

[johnnydoome]

Hey guys,ignore the negative comms,it`s just good fun and very nostalgic.

Not too far off the way we were!

NICE ONE !

[ShibariShamster]

Nice vid but it was a shame about the other vehicles in shot which gave a reference point for speed. Could easily have been made to look fast but it didn't :(

[elbuccanero]

@ShibariShamster would you care to provide video examples of your easy high speed filming technique? I will be sure to pass them on to the director.

[ShibariShamster]

@elbuccanero It's not rocket science. Make sure you don't have other vehicles or people moving the same (normal) speed in shot. That way you can speed up the footage slightly if need be and it doesn't look like Benny Hill. Use static reference points which are close to the bikes (the nearer, the faster it appears).

[flitsies]

Loved it good music with it.

[pmay222]

not bad vid...apart from the read basin...doubt you fukkers even know what that is anyway..lol

[elbuccanero]

@pmay222 at least we don't ride Yamaha!

[pmay222]

@elbuccanero u psychic..? i got 2 yamaha's....lol...i love the old brit bikes..they really got it right with style, usability and character...but unfortunately like most of us...i can only live for the weekend...and broken down on the hard shoulder is not where i like to spend it........so its jap for meee all the time...

[elbuccanero]

@pmay222 Phil Read rode Yamaha : )

[deaddoc]

@pmay222 Belong to two West Coast vintage clubs, lots of Brit bikes. Breakdowns are rare. It's a rumor you're flagging here. Jap bikes have no character, and the model parts cease to exist after five years. They're consumer products, while Brit Bikes, Euros are "forever." Nothing sounds like a Brit bike.

[pmay222]

@deaddoc 100% with you on that one....jap bike's lack soul...no character...even when they try to copy euro bike's ...there is still something missing....

[MrParallelTwin]

@deaddoc damn right!

[waspfarmer]

I want to be an androgenous drummer. Withn a Triton...

[waspfarmer]

I want to be an androgenous drummer.

[OgwrDragon]

Ha! That takes me back even tho' it's more now than then - cool stuff, keep it comming!

[wpepie]

very nice video

[banorin]

I want to download (purchase) the tune and add it to my shop CD for when I work on my bikes- can anyone toss me a link?

They really captured the visuals of the cafe culture feel, in one yanks opinion.

[nyarltep]

wow

that was really cool

i like that fellas jacket too

[007MI6006]

Great video of the Capt. and Thomas Triton, but wrong music in my opinion. Seems more like Mod sounds rather than a good Gene Vincent track.

[teddyboy73]

LOL! I was there during the shot of the inside scenes and i was asking myself what was going on...i stopped for the first time at the Ace Cafe on the way back to the Stansted airport from Reading, after the Rockers Reunion of 2002...

Great video!

[Fritztoons]

You deserve an oscar!

[dianmc]

Nice film but not so keen on the music, especially as they nicked the name from Starfighters a GOOD NWOBHM band from back in the day

Playing tarot cards lol. Snap.

[667mjx]

Very british, racing in the rain. Came to cabo da roca, it´s sunny all the time!

[elbuccanero]

You know that's not a bad idea - or maybe the Cabo de Gata, down near where they made the Spaghetti Westerns!

[667mjx]

Ok, but make few more km (800) and came to cabo da roca in a sunday morning!

[Jeremiah10972]

Who "plays" tarot cards lol

[Jeremiah10972]

I'm a drunk Englishman and I read tarot cards I dont play them :)

[elbuccanero]

When you sober up you could consider looking up Italian Tarocchini and French Tarot - both games which you play with tarot cards.

It seems you are The Fool...

[Jeremiah10972]

I fail to see how not knowing about obscure foreign games makes me a fool but if being rude gets you off then go for it

[elbuccanero]

Ah for fucks sake - The Fool is a tarot card - I was having a bit of fun!!

[Jeremiah10972]

lol course it is fair enough mate maybe I overeacted there sorry bout that

[jpphillips1970]

Sexy bassplayer though..

[dieselscience]

JP, could be but I'm kind of partial to the drummer.

[kwambartie]

simply loved it !

[pmay222]

musics very good, nice guitar sound..suits this vid perfectly..like it

[iampaulie]

Oh, baby. I'm all tinglely. Nifty video

[StNige]

[dieselscience]

True

[Nox979]

Starfighting-X

[antcawdor]

who is the band

[AvgasStew]

Music sucks, but have to admit i felt a bit of nostalgia when i saw the cafe' racers outside the ace. I noticed no mods were there

[GrossmeisterR]

Cool sound, cool bikes, makes me keen revving it up and go Ace again...

[tylerkilp]

this is an awesome video. i love the bikes. who is that band?

[sidewaysid]

I go there when in area and i think my little Spanish friend is on it

[increibleperocierto]

I still regret I missed the shooting!
