Mods & Rockers (YDS2, YDS5 & Lambretta)

Out in Cornwall (UK) yesterday on my Lambretta 350 YPVS with a couple of mates on their Yamaha (1963) YDS2 & (1968) YDS5 respectively ,
A real Mods & Rockers moment ;)

Not enough mirrors on the scooter to meet "Quadrophenia' status.

One of the groups that I hung out with in highschool thought that they were Mods. I liked the music (Ska, etc), the image, but could never bring myself to driving a scooter. Had too much rocker in me.

All the bikes in the pictures are pretty cool. I do prefer the "Rocker" bikes :smt002
