JohnnyFartPants Posted 28 October, 2008 Posted 28 October, 2008 In this day and age I think we need an even balance of both.
scott_saints Posted 28 October, 2008 Posted 28 October, 2008 Is being an innernet mod as cool as being a real life mod from back in the day?
Scummer Posted 28 October, 2008 Posted 28 October, 2008 Is being an innernet mod as cool as being a real life mod from back in the day? It's much cooler. Mods in the old days just rode around on scooters, modern mods have real power.
scott_saints Posted 28 October, 2008 Posted 28 October, 2008 Mod from old days- Ride around on a scooter listening to The Jam Modern mod- Ride around on chair with wheels listening to computer monitor and controllong people on fore arms. I wish I was a modern mod
JohnnyFartPants Posted 28 October, 2008 Author Posted 28 October, 2008 I recently sold a lambretta jacket Did it have loads of holes in it to fit over the mirrors?
INFLUENCED.COM Posted 28 October, 2008 Posted 28 October, 2008 1st A quote from an "old days mod" 2nd a quote consistent with, imo, the belief of the "modern mod" 1) "I do not live in the past by any means and there is much to be said for the present day but it will never match the absolute excitement of the sixties." -John Waters, Life of a London Mod 2) "I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator" - Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 2
Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 28 October, 2008 Posted 28 October, 2008 Did it have loads of holes in it to fit over the mirrors? Yes it did funnily enough. I thought they were just wear and tear. Sold it at a car booty along with one of David Pruttons old coats

Mods from the old days were probably in their 40's and 50's when the second round of Mods came along!

JohnnyFartPants Posted 28 October, 2008 Author Posted 28 October, 2008 Jam is better than marmalade. Also, I can't marmalade my **** up your mum's arse.

badgerx16 Posted 28 October, 2008 Posted 28 October, 2008 Yes, agreed, but what's the difference between jam and marmalade? One lot sang "ob-la-di ob-la-da", and the others made some classic new wave music
Saint in Paradise Posted 28 October, 2008 Posted 28 October, 2008 Scooter riders were / still are little boys who couuldn't control real 2 wheel machines like men aka Rockers :D:D
norwaysaint Posted 28 October, 2008 Posted 28 October, 2008 Scooter riders were / still are little boys who couuldn't control real 2 wheel machines like men aka Rockers :D:D You sound as if you have posters of big men in biker leathers on your wall.
Ponty Posted 28 October, 2008 Posted 28 October, 2008 There was no aggro between Mods and Rockers in the 60s. There can't have been because, as everyone knows, youths have only been out of control in the last few years. Since sweatshirts came with hoods, no doubt.
Saint in Paradise Posted 28 October, 2008 Posted 28 October, 2008 You sound as if you have posters of big men in biker leathers on your wall. LOL !! Sorry but no I don't, however I admit that I was once a Rocker or Greaser as we were also known as.

The early 1950s had "Teddy Boys" now they made todays "Youth" look relatively tame
