Happy days
MOTORBIKEWow, 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?
Cheeky ChimpHubby, round and bend seem to pop into my head for some reason.
Yes, she was theBwaa! You were right, RRB! I must admit, Adrian, you were a cute little chimpy on your trike. Was that your first girlfriend riding on the side?
Could this be you?? Same colour hair.I rode a tricycle when I was three years old.

Thinking about it, Nah not really. Ooooooh look, it's me and you......Nothing's changed, then.
I prefer motorbikes to scooters and like my rock too but loved the Specials, owned the 45 vinyl of Ghost Town.I wonder who would be a Mod or a Rocker nowadays if it ever became popular again, I don't remember any of it back in 64, far too young.
Mod music from the 80's
@nosher8355 , enjoy I have this on vinyl
That's lovelyI'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.
Love driving - passed my test at 50. I'll just stand by and admire the motorbike - not enough grip in my hands to hold on as pillion and woah, too fast for two wheels.......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)
All get fed using raised bowls - precaution against bloat and torsion. Easier for me to pick the bowls up tooNice jan ..like those dishes on a stand x
I think you had to be backwards to own one.
Sorry to anybody that has actually had anything to do with one of these but they were / are still pretty useless.
Best bike I ever had was a NORTON COMMANDO 750, the ones the police had. When I had that I wore leathers and thought I owned the road. A Ton up boy I was then (that meant to those who don't know) that I used to do 100 miles per hour where I could, hence ton up.
Who's this little guy in the flat cap - thought it was Kermit at first but when I reversed the negative I see he's yellow.... one of the muppets by the looks of it but not one I recognise..... Wonder what he'd look like on a Scooter?From my early teens i remember being into ska and was a rudeboy / mod for many years from around 1979 i was massively into the beat madness selecter specials bad manners the lambrettas small faces the who, i loved the film quadrophenia even now, still a mod at heart. I remember drawing all the logos on my army and navy store canvas bag so everyone new what you were into, i used to draw the madness logo on all the desks in school. Terry Hall was my hero... "I got one art o level it did nothing for me..." those lyrics still live with me today. Rudebwwwoysssssss!!!

mine would never curl eitherAlas, my hair was poker-straight - except when my mom made me sleep on huge, hard rollers. I'd wake up and it would STILL be poker-straight.
