In front of the packed banks around the atmospheric Assen circuit Rob McElnea (Suzuki) and Joey Dunlop (Honda) do battle for the 1983 Formula 1 crown. Everyone knew that Dunlop was the man to beat on the roads, but few gave him the credit he deserved as a circuit racer. Although it made perfect sense to include historic Assen in the Formula 1 championship; the original circuit used public roads, by 1983 it couldn’t have been more different than the TT Mountain circuit or Dunlop’s local Dundrod. Come the race, Joey silenced his critics with a fine runner-up spot behind McElnea, but the icing on the cake was the fact that he led home Honda team-mates Roger Marshall and Wayne Gardner.

In the same issue there is a photograph of a shop window full of helmets which span the range of what was on offer at this time. In the centre is what we would still recognise as a standard "open face" type extending down over the ears. This was a relatively new idea to motorcycling/scootering having originated with fighter pilots, reaching Formula 1 around 1959 and the general public about two years later. To the left can be seen its predecessor, the "Piss Pot" and underneath the standard white "Everoak" beloved of so many regular scooterists. The Everoak (and similarly-styled helmets from other makers) was especially despised by the Mods and it comes as a bit of a culture shock today to see a scooter resplendent with lights and mirrors being ridden by someone wearing such a thing.
Still, in 1963, such considerations were years away - Mods not generally wearing helmets in any case. Mod fashion in a motor cycle magazine? It never happened again!

A LULL BEFORE THE STORM
IT'S a received wisdom that the general public knew nothing about Mods prior to the events of Easter 1964, but like most received wisdoms, it's only partially true. Many people are aware of the 1962 Town article featuring (amongst others) Marc Bolan, but if you look hard enough there is other material around pre-dating the seaside riots.
In December 1963 Motor Cycle magazine ran a light-hearted 'Are you a Mod or a Rocker?' quiz. Readers were asked questions about their attire and habits. The top three levels of scoring (Mod, Mid and Rocker) were all considered "with it", while the lowest scoring category (Old Fogey) was definitely considered to be "without it".
The piece was written by one Mike Evans and it is he who is featured as the example Mod, with a suitably scruffy Rocker alongside for comparison. Mike's clothes include a tab-collared shirt, Cuban heels and a collarless jacket and at this distance in time, it's difficult to recall if these were specifically Mod fashions in late '63. The scooter (a well used GS150 with chrome panels) looks about right though.
The article obviously isn't meant to be taken too seriously, and there's no sense of the friction that was to erupt four or five months later. This sort of thing could not have appeared in a motorcycle magazine after April 1964.

Nigel is TAG s Publisher at Mortons Media and apart from bringing us great bike and scooter titles to read every month, he s also a committed funky moped owner - well technically his Honda 90 isn t a moped, but we ll let him off Here s what he had to say:
What the hell do you want that for? is usually the question I m asked when people see my Honda CT90. The constant ribbing at work about my hobby becomes tiresome, but you know what, they don t know what they re missing.
My obsession - sorry I meant hobby - centres on two things; uniqueness and economy. I fell in love with this American import, also known as the Trail 90, a few years back having seen one of these orange funkmeisters at a show. I loved the knobbly tyres, eight gears, altitude adjuster, spare fuel tank, stubby mudguard, the colour and it fitted in nicely with my 70s renaissance that seems to dog the student world every five-or-so years. This bike had it all for me.
The economy side is twofold; firstly I can run this bike at around 120mpg and enjoy the world passing by at around 50mph, just sitting back and relaxing. The other bit is the price. You can buy this classic bike with 1200 miles on the clock for about 800 (Stateside you d pay twice that!) what other mint classic bike would you get for that with the coolness my bike has got. Stretch T-shirts are back!
