Memories, yes. Photos, no unfortunately. Not of the beloved Lambretta.
Only one thing wrong with that bike....................................it's short of a third wheel on the back. TRIKE IT!!
I rode a tricycle when I was three years old.
He did in 2007
Found some old photos of my early biking days...........................View attachment 12726
Then I progressed to 2 wheels.............View attachment 12725
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?
Yes, she was thebitgirlfriend on the side. We also played doctors and nurses and kiss chase.
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 , enjoyI 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!!!
