Cool video, loved it! There was a guy in 'The Rakes' (Epping) that had the 15 million lights (as a couple of bikes shown here). The Police nicked him for 'no lights'. None of them actually worked.
I've never really understood the combat trousers and bomber jacket 'uniform.' I think that it looks rather thuggish, when set alongside the elegant lines of a scooter.
Scooter Boys. Born out of the Mod Revival Movement. Normally a Rally going scooterist who for practicle reasons wore these as a choice. The Scooter was 1st then the clothes and music. :) Keep the Faith Chum!
Your uniform is yours to invent none of this would of cane about only for young men and women took the steps to brake out of the social norm. We are all mods but still individuals Personally my uniform in a good parka and adidas sambas . To young to remember but young enough to learn. Wish I lived in those real times All I can do is try keep it alive . Happy New Years to all Mods all around the world
Scooters are OK for short trips and best left standard, I hate the ones with loads of mirrors or lamps stuck on the front or those stupid pretentious murals on the panels.
