Mod or Rocker?

[Brandane]

Had some great chases and dust-ups with the mods from the neighbouring town though...... shameful hooligans that we were.

These days, bikers and scooterists (if that's the right word) sometimes exchange waves/nods. The common bond of being on two wheels seems to have overcome the rivalry of yesteryear.

being a spritely 431/2 I'm far too youthful to be classified as one or the other... in fact I'm so young, I could almost ask.... what's a rocker? Of course Mods are like forum police.

Sell the girls step-through and keep the Bonneville.

Not possible, the Vespa has an unyielding emotional pull for women. Nobody notices the Bonnie apart from other sad middle aged gits ............like me.

Mod. Better dress sense and better music.

Rocker, mods are sissies - come on then if you want some.

Shut it greebo, We are the mods, we are the mods.....

Vespas and Lambrettas.... give over!
...and Honda 70s and 90s were old men's mopeds.

Mod, but with occasional rocker leanings. I once lived in a house full of hippies, and managed to "convert" one of them to having a healthy interest in the music of Curtis Mayfield

[QUOTE 2314674, member: 259"]Neither. I'm too young to have been a mod the first time round and then when they came back in the seventies they looked like prats. The rockers were all into terrible music that you couldn't dance to and they didn't have girlfriends.[/quote]

Flick-knives are cool though!

Half and half I rode a motorbike, but dressed very smart in those days

Well as I er, looked like this when I was sixteen I think I might be a mod.

Ah, a rod! I, on the other hand, with my bike and dressing down, was a mocker.

Mod when I was 18, then a biker, (never a rocker as the music if you can call it that was carp)

See, I know that now but where were you to tell me when I was younger?
