I used to know some mods, horrible lot these though, called themselves the Betlyturf Gang. Don't ask me why but it seemed like whatever you did they knew about it and if it was something that upset them, they wouldn't hesitate to let you know. A good mate of mine who was a member once did something wrong which upset the gang and he had all privileges related to this club taken from him for a while which meant he couldn't take part in any of the activities of the club. Being a loyal member though, he stayed and I think he still keeps in touch with some of the other members even today including me. Anyway, I sold my Lambretta and bought a "Y" reg Givern import, worst thing on Gods earth. It started ok and sat there idling but try to get any sort of response from it......................no chance, it was like flogging a dead horse. Needless to say we parted and I ended up getting a car.

Wow, those mods sounded nasty! I would have had no need for that nonsense. I assume these were adults, not kids? Sheesh. I've been on a Harley twice - never again. I was scared to death. Is that what you call a "scooter" or a "motorbike" or is it neither?

That's a nice name for a cat.

I was the passenger on the back of that Harley, by the way. I don't know how to drive.

Hubby, round and bend seem to pop into my head for some reason.

I'm nearly 65 now and was a Mod. I had a Lambretta LI 150 with all of the usual trim. That was a great time to be a teenager. I live in Brighton but always stayed away from the bank holiday beach stuff. My now wife was a Mod too and been married for 44 years now.

I can't drive either and I worked at a car dealership, but would love to have a go. A driving lesson and ( I am being very brave here) a ride on Motorbike

( before I can't do any)

Memories, yes. Photos, no unfortunately. Not of the beloved Lambretta.
