Indian Motorcycle & Victory Day at the Ace Cafe

Indian Motorcycle UK invited members of the Indian Motorcycle Riders Group to a special owners day on Sunday July 11th hosted by the world’s most famous motor cafe, the legendary Ace Cafe in London, whose history can be traced back to 1938.
Supported by the local rider’s groups of official Indian Motorcycle Dealers, Robinsons Foundry, Moore Speed Racing, Midwest Moto, MCO and all three Krazy Horse groups, the day saw over 100 riders arrive to make this the largest UK gathering of Indian Motorcycles in modern history. 

“We were really excited by the turnout and overwhelmed by the positivity surrounding this ride-in. To have so many of the dealer’s rider groups support the event is fantastic. Especially with the extra precautions we all needed to take to be COVID safe during the rides and the event. For the owners from MCO to ride all the way from Manchester to be here shows how much passion there is within our riders groups. Thank you everyone - I can’t wait for the next one.”

While the attendees enjoyed their complimentary ACE Gourmet BBQ or famous All-Day ACE Breakfast, they admired each other’s rides and checked out all three models of the all-new Indian Chief which were displayed alongside custom builds from Krazy Horse including their Project Scout 3K entries; Bad Company and 24 Carrot.

The Indian Motorcycle UK team of Claire D’Auria and Steve Cain also gave each rider a Commemorative pin badge & neck buff to commemorate the ride-in.

It was really amazing to have the opportunity to attend such a great event. To see all my amazing friends again and to meet so many new friends was simply fantastic. Thank you @indianmotorcycleuk @officialacecafelondon - all the amazing Indian dealerships for making this possible and for all the amazing people that make me so proud to ride an Indian Motorcycle. Absolutely brilliant. #wewantmore Let’s keep building on this.
