WD181613@SS P54 - 01 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. Keywords: 2006, Mortons Archive, Mortons Media Group, Scooterist Scene, Scooters
WD242033@70 Nigel Hole-Trai Nigel Hole 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! Keywords: a nostalgic look at the past, Classic Motorcycle Mechanics, FUNKY MOPEDS, Many lifelong motorcyclists and, Mortons Archive, Mortons Media Group Ltd, Rebuild, The idea was to force kids onto, The new breed of moped would hi, The new found moped craze soon, Way back in the early 1970s 16y, Workshop
