Did You Know?
| Trivia | The motorcycle diner/meeting point was filmed at The Ace Cafe on the North Circular Road, *the* meeting point for British motorcyclists in the 1960s. Closed down and used as a tyre depot in the 1970s and 1980s, the site was restored and reopened in September 2001 and is again popular with motorcyclists and car enthusiasts. Upon its reopening, Rita Tushingham visited the Ace, later doing so with both Dudley Sutton and Colin Campbell. See more » |
| Goofs | During the Edinburgh race, Dot and her new mate keep up with the main pack right up until their bike breaks down. But their bike's an Ariel Arrow - 250 cc, ridden 2-up - so it's unthinkable that it could keep up with much-more-powerful bikes with single riders. See more » |
