It make the hair stand up on the back of my neck to think that this was going off all over the country back then ... I feel privileged to of been part of it... What a buz✨
i was a skinhead in the late 70s till early 80s. all i lived for was going to see Chelsea at Stamford bridge and to southend on bank holidays, but as for the mod scene it was no where to be seen on them days. mind you there was a few thousand skins there lol. plenty of bikers & rockers always up for it. i hated mods back then but i liked the scooters, especially when scooter skins came along. mind you we hated anyone who wasn't a skinhead. when quadrophenia film come out in 79 i refused to watch it. mind you i was a glue sniffing 15 year old skin, but today in 2023 its one of my favourite films, shows you was being young and narrow minded was about... some cool pics and cars as well...
You can always get one now. Got back into it last year after a 35 year break. Only regret I have is I didn't do it earlier. Ahhhhh the smell of two stroke
I'm into motorbikes but I still get the feeling of what it was like back then when you went out with your mates on dozens of bikes not like now we're you're lucky to get one of them out of the house🙄
what a fuckin laugh we had tear assing all over great times see the red scooter that was mine.... me and gary murch formed the quadrophonic scooter club in southend. chris Bassett
@chris basset , do you mean the red G P @ 1min 18 . It looks a lot like the one I used to have but with a bit more chrome . The reg was GLN ** J . Went to Scarborough on it in '82 . Regards Total chaos .
What a sweeping generalized comment... ridiculous. Hard mods, hard rockers. Timid mods, timid rockers. It was not just about rivalries but rather the clothes, scooters the music and the scene and the great friends you made in that scene.
