When I was a teenager we had lots of fun on bikes, I used to hang round with a group of lassies and lads of both persuasions and we had trips out to places with packed lunches, we were happy just pootling about, popping into various notorious cafes and riding round Brands Hatch and The Saltbox Café.
I always wanted to have a motor bike but couldn't manage the gears so when I had the chance in my 30's to get a bike I had a 200cc Lambretta and sidecar, my kids loved sitting in the sidecar and being picked up from school, all of a sudden their mum was cool, and as they got a bit older I was still cool when they were dropped off at various clubs in the evening, my oldest daughter took up biking and drove a Suzuki for years before getting a car,
I remember the clashes at Brighton between the Mods and Rockers, we kept well away from them, does anyone else remember those days.
