About Me:

Was a young mod in 1965 when mods and rockers was the youth cult, exciting times in deed, bought my first scooter in 1966 a Lambretta SX200, I still have a SX200 and ride it regularly throughout England and Europe, have been to the Mod rallies in Brighton many times and remember the mods when they were in Ryde and went to many of their do's, still have the clothes and records from the 60s and a Sunbeam Alpine classic car which I purchased when I was 25, a couple of 50s jukeboxes to play the records on and lots of 60s memoribilia, Motown, Stax, Atlantic, Ska Reggae and Northern Soul is our passion.
