I might be wrong, but I reckon it's the Ace Café.
Yeah. What's that?
In your 97 years on this planet, you've never heard of the Ace Café?
No. Maybe I have but there's lots of cafes about

I guess they don't have Google on holiday islands.

Blooming heck, even I've been to the Ace Cafe a few times!! I've also blown past there on what was then Screwdriver's RC8, what a joyful bike that was!!

Yes, it was a dream ride. If I had a huge garage, clean licences, unlimited cash, it would be in there with the Superduke R and other bikes. It was just so stable, smooth, incredibly quick with no effort and wonderful brakes. I really loved that ride and thank @Screwdriver for that opportunity. Still a memory I greatly enjoy (along with riding the Superduke R).

It could be speed humps and a 20 mph zone.

Do they still do the Christmas Toy Run?

The first few times I went it was carnage with something like 1000 bikes all riding through central London generally ignoring the traffic lights etc. They got a police escort the last couple of times I went, which was >10 years ago.

Dunno. Thats sounds the same as the southend shakedown. I went once but we bailed as there were people popping wheelies, screaming up the insides of everyone else etc. :roll:

I use the Google Translate app a lot to improve my lingo.
Just discovered that I can talk into it so decided to improve my pronunciation :)

Started with summat simple.

Sandwich de atun sin mayonesa.

It seemed to struggle my Yorickshire accent :(

I can't remember which app I was using, but it struggled with my Lancashire accent. I think it would have struggled with any non American accent. The word was "damp". I tried pretty much every variation of vowel sounds: "damp", "demp", "dimp", "domp", "dump", without success until I tried it with my best American accent with two syllables. It liked "dayump" and translated it for me. :roll:

Bit of a poor show from JD sports?
