I was a Rocker in the 60's, 50 or so of us in the Swindon area used to do the "seaside" runs at weekends, a lot of shouting and fists with the Mods but not as bloody as the papers made out, bit of a laugh and something to do at the weekend really! went to the 59 club a few times, and stopped at the Ace! still had an old Ford as well! more comfy for the ladies 8) sorry boss don't like the scooter! :D:(:

+ no i'm not putting up a pic its too embarassing

mods looked cool but rocker is easier to live with......

mod=concourse rs1600, hours of work before the public can see

 

rocker=plated up 1.1L running a 180 bhp pinto that has an oil leak and blowing exhaust

This was my 63 series 3 LI. Did a nut and bolt resto in 98. It was a lovely scoot but as Ian says they rattle to bits, Vespas were much smoother. Fun and simple to restore, horrible to ride.

 

Sold it last year as I never used it. Now I just like looking at them 8)8)
