If you are and were a Rocker then i suggest a meet on Brighton Beach !!!! Mod with 'bretta TV175 - mirrors, lights and air horn and the parka. Also had the beetle jacket and mohair jumper and winkle-pickers Margate was our 'scene' , but busted an ankle on the beach trampolines one visit - nurses had the right hump when I got back on the scooter to drive home to Surrey with plaster cast up the knee Oh and with no MacDonalds then it was always a meet in the local Wimpey. See, I was young, once and can even remember it Quote
Builder49 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Posted April 20, 2012 More Glam rock than rocker or mod, but by the time I could legally drive I'd have had to have been a punk......... I wasn't !!! Quote
spursmaddave Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 I was a Mod for a little while then became a Rude Boy Still love the music even now obviously Quote

spursmaddave Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Thats a great pic Pete, very Quadrophenia Unfortunately I was born too late (69) so i had to make do with the Mod revival.... I remeber being at a VERY large comprehensive and there was only me and my best mate in Parkas.... Boy could we run and cycle fast Quote
Neilp Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 I was a mod too, that's me on the nearside taken in 1967 . Pete My dad was 16 at this point and had one the same but he didn't have a windscreen. Said he loved the fact in those days you didn't need a helmet, He used to wear was a woollen tammy Quote
Builder49 Posted April 21, 2012 Author Posted April 21, 2012 I was a mod too, that's me on the nearside taken in 1967 . Pete What a fantastic pic, born in 63 so too late for that, got to say though that my FS1E was just as cool in its day (or at least I thought so after walking for 16 years) Quote

Builder49 Posted April 21, 2012 Author Posted April 21, 2012 stop flirting you two! Twobears is a happily married woman Stew. Quote
Stew Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 stop flirting you two! Twobears is a happily married woman Stew. Yes but you are a total horndog! Quote
twobears Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Why are u bored? I've got to go to the dentist this afternoon so I'm not exactly excited today Also, my husband is off to Germany without me as he's flying back to B'ham on Monday am for a meeting and then straight to London afterwards and I need to be in Yorkshire because my lovely wooden windows are arriving earlier than planned. That last bit is ok though as they are really going to improve the look of the cottage I'm not flirting, just having a chat Quote
