So I get up and there is this parcel addressed to me I open it and this is inside View attachment 75099

No note saying who it's from and my address on the jiffy was Printed on
Now this is clearly from someone who knows me as it has a mod on it but also it's for my phone

I've put it on Facebook but as yet know one has owned up

I hate receiving things and not knowing where they come from

Oooooooooooooooooo, Alan has a girlfriend...or boyfriend...kissy, kissy, kiss...kiss.

I think it is a nice thing mate, it will be from someone you know, probably your wife lol.

Si, that's a Lambretta. I was a 'Mod' in the '60s and had one. It had more mirrors than this one.......Well it did until both me and my scooter had a good kicking by a group of 'Rockers' in a nice seaside town in North Wales!

Happy days.....

Oops! Sorry Si, I should have realized...........I did get my own back. When it was dark I quietly went round the bikes belonging to my assailants and emptied loads of sugar into the petrol tanks!!!!!

I was the runt of the family everyone of them were rockers either in the sixties or later when they grew up me I've never followed the pack so it was a big shock to them all when I got my first Parker ha and the arguments I had with my elder brother about the late fifties early sixties American R&B sound was Mod lol

Nice one Ron I didn't have many problems with rockers being not born until 67 I was one of the revival bunch and it was the skinheads we had problems with
 
I remember when a load of Mods came to Rhyl for a weekend, I didn't know and had gone for a nice ride on my motorbike, when I came into Rhyl a bunch of them tried to scare me, they surrounded me at a set of traffic lights and I just laughed at them, they then tried to chase me, I think I was still only in second gear when I left them...

Many many happy memories of my mod days, went from Vespa's with mirrors & spotlights to Lambretta's with as much power as possible (for a vacuum cleaner) just wish I had never parted with any of the many scoots I owned.

I started my love of motor racing because of being a bad boy.

I got many tickets for speeding, and the last time I was in court to have my licence suspended, the magistrate suggested if I like speed so much, I should do it in the proper place.

On a track.

I had my first scooter race at Snetterton around 1970, the rest is history and the best advice I have been given!

As I said, many happy memories.

Gregg

What, 1867? :D

All this talk on here of scooters, Lammies and Vespa`s have brought back some memories, I have had a good few in my years as a scooter boy, I even ran a scooter club in my home town in the 80`s called the Notts Rejects SC.

I am still into the scene now days, and still own a few in various states, I even run a page dedicated to scooters old and new on FB called showusyourscoots surprising how many folk were into the same scene and into modelling;)

One of mine..
