Default Mod or rocker?

Which one would you have been in the 60's? (or maybe you're so old you were alive in the 60's )

I reckon Mod, no doubt, the clothes, the scene, bands like the Small Faces (no one mention The Who, plastic mod fuckers)

But maybe a Mod with a Manx Norton for secret blasts when the vespa got too boring.

Wolf in wolfs clothing.

Mod for sure. My old man was a mod in the 60's, he had a lambretta with loads of wing mirrors and everything, never touched the drugs though.

My old man was a Rocker so I guess I'd be the same.

Although he did get beaten up by a load of Mods......

Rocker

I would have kicked Sting square in the nuts, and kicking off wing mirrors would have been a happy pastime

Mods = Gheys

A rocker obviously.

I'm disappointed in some of you, mod FFS!

I'm a mod
I've always been a mod
My father was a mod before me
By coat is a Parka
My shirt is Ben Sherman
The boots on my feet were made by a German
Outside the window sits a broken down Lambretta
I'm going to fix it
When the weather gets better.


Lying outrageously on the internet since 2002.

Pfft! - a decent pair of blue jeans, boots, a plain black or white tee shirt and a nice leather jacket, all clean

and of course, a mans bike

Exactly. Pointless arseing about on motorcycles and stopping for the odd cuppa would have made as much sense then as now.


The mind is its own place and in itself can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
