Just looking at the hijack of Frecklebirds locked "mods" post and it happens to echo something the wife and I briefly touched on at the weekend.
With most major fashion and style movements they hang on for a couple of generations so we get ageing Rockers and ageing hippies easily recognised in every town, but you don't ever see baldies in anoraks riding scooters with too many wing mirrors do you?
Funny that.

She doesn't want to blow your french horn or your stumpet trumpet then? (Honestly I tried to think of something wittier but I just couldn't).

One of my favourite albums which I can't play anymore, (no turntable), is "Edgar Winter's White Trash" which cameos the more famous Johnny, some tracks, "Keep playing that rock and roll", and "Dying to Live" I can still sing all the way through, (only in the bath of course).
Now if we are talking mods, scooters and THE WHO........
Well you should come to the isle of wight on the august bank holiday. About 3- 5000 mods, scooterboys etc.
As for me......well i dont like to boast, but i will anyway
But i have the ultimate mod scooter.
It is a Vespa 125px.......Pictures of the who on it......
And signed by THE WHO
It has 3 sets of signatures on its panels, Pete, Roger and the late John Entwistle
There is only one other scooter that i know of that has been signed by The Who. This was a more modern Twist and go style vespa. It was signed and sold for chairty.
Yes i do ride it....and yes it shits the life out of me when i leave it anywhere.
But you only live once !
I was very lucky to get it and
It makes me :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

wow what a Thread....
I feel a bit like I should not be here as I am an ageing rocker who is still in love with motor bikes and has a 1960 Triton as well as a newish Triumph Daytona in the garage. And funny you mention the Ace cos it was really a biker's caff when it wasn't a 'lorry drivers' greasy spoon in its earlier incarnation. And I have to confess to 'knowing' of a few vespa's that now reside in the local canal........ but all credit to the guy that rebuilt the Ace. Great place. :beer:
However my back door way in to this is cos Les Paul guitars were mentioned. If you want to hear how thes beauties can sound I suggest you listen / download / pirate Gary Moore's 'Blues for Greenie' where he plays Peter Green's Les Paul in an album dedicated to Peter who was rather ill at the time. Especially 'I need your love so bad' which now has a very special personal meaning to me. (Parisian Walkways was a Stratocaster btw).
Personally I only ever owned two guitars when I played professionally...a Gibson semi-acoustic Bass and then my all time favourite my Fender Jazz Bass, special edition with a fast action neck. Sunburst of course! Hiwatt amps anyone...? Oh but we did play support band to The Who at Aylesbury Town Hall and another time at the Marquee Club so.... does this make me an honorary Mod...hehe?
Nice Thread.
