We can only guess what it is that Barry Sheene and Graeme Crosby find so amusing about Randy Mamola’s knee sliders in this 1981 assembly area shot. As you can see from the DIY knee protection used by both Suzuki ace Crosby and Yamaha’s Sheene the knee slider generation was still in its infancy, but clearly American Mamola’s radical hang off style called for something a little more substantial. What the image does illustrate is that Grand Prix racing was still a whole lot of fun and while things got serious out on the track, in the paddock even the top riders could still enjoy a laugh and joke.

Phil Read’s comeback Isle of Man TT ride couldn’t have been more unpopular among the TT cognoscenti, many of whom held him largely responsible for the Island races losing their World Championship status. With the inaugural Formula 1 Championship, decided on just one race in the Isle of Man in 1977, Read saw an opportunity to revive his career and take advantage of the generous start money offered by the organisers. Despite the obvious disapproval from sections of the crowd, Read kept his cool and rode his Honda Britain sponsored bike to victory in the weather-shortened race. But even that moment of glory was shrouded in controversy. With speculation that the Honda crew had received a tip off from an official that the flag would go out early, Read stayed out rather than pitting, while his nearest rival, Welshman Roger Nicholls, came in as planned and lost valuable time and with it any chance of victory.

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.

1965 – THE ALTERNATIVE VIEW
Scooters and Swinging Britain as seen through the eyes of Motor Cycle magazine

Alternative to what exactly? Well, you may be under the impression that 1965 was a seminal year of pep pill fuelled power pop featuring defining moments in music, fashion and film. But to those over thirty it mattered not a jot that Bob Dylan had gone electric. In this time of far less media saturation than today, it was much easier to create your own reality by restricting your reading matter to publications that confirmed your view of the world and ignoring everything else.
Motor Cycle was one such publication that gave a reassuring impression that nothing had really changed in the last ten years or so. Scooterists were still considered to be a bit daft and it was reported with some glee that Lambrettas running-in instructions included the immortal instruction: “In winter, let the engine idle for some minutes in order to warm up before starting”!
The Isle of Man Scooter Week took place as usual with a couple from Sweden winning the Loving Cup on their SS180. Incidentally, the attendance of 411 scooters was reported as being a record for this event, which rather suggests that some earlier events must have been rather small affairs. As always, any British scooter launch was eagerly reported upon, so the new Triumph T10 was given a fair amount of space and such a machine was won by Heather Desert in the ‘National Personality Girl’ contest. Unfortunately, the T10 was to be the last serious British attempt at a mass produced scooter.
‘Publicity runs’ were still in evidence and a couple of Britons (Bob Forrest Webb and Ian Speller), had carried out a Croydon backed non-stop journey from London to Milan on a GT200. On reaching Milan they posed dressed up as city gents. Other than the scooter itself, the whole episode has more of a feel of 1958 about it rather than 1965.
More general news included that of Douglas ceasing Vespa production at Kingswood, an ‘experiment

Sheene NNC Slide Suzuki 1976-7-8-9 004
We can only guess what it is that Barry Sheene and Graeme Crosby find so amusing about Randy Mamolaâ€™s knee sliders in this 1981 assembly area shot. As you can see from the DIY knee protection used by both Suzuki ace Crosby and Yamahaâ€™s Sheene the knee slider generation was still in its infancy, but clearly American Mamolaâ€™s radical hang off style called for something a little more substantial. What the image does illustrate is that Grand Prix racing was still a whole lot of fun and while things got serious out on the track, in the paddock even the top riders could still enjoy a laugh and joke.
