Our Mods are Rockers!

[MineralMan]

Rock on!

ETA: I just love cultural punning. Can't help myself. I also can't stop my leg, but that's another thread.

1. I thought the Mods and Rockers were distinct, opposed camps?

:shrug:

[MineralMan]

3. Hence the pun.

[RockaFowler]

5. Those would be Mockers

When Ringo is asked if he's a Mod or a Rocker, he replies "Uh, no, I'm a mocker"
Hard Day's Night

6. I think they merged, became mockers, then punks.

It's very confusing, really.

[villager]

11. Ah, the mods are punks, then!

;-)

[MineralMan]

12. No. The punks are the offspring of the unseemly mating of a mod

and a rocker. It's complicated, but well-documented.

[MineralMan]

9. Actually, I understand that they intebred frequently.

:rofl:

2. Do our Mods ride tricked out scooters?

Do they listen to the Who?

[MineralMan]

4. When they're not riding their Beezers and Nortons.

They can handle it all.

They're pinball wizards, too. I understand there's a cool retro machine in their well-appointed lounge. Just hearsay, though.

7. Speaking of Pinball Wizard,

Tommy was on last night, just too late for this old man to watch again.

And speaking of cool retro machines, I picked up an old Space Odyssey machine last winter that I'm now in the middle of restoring.

I keep thinking of putting multiple rearview mirrors on my own scooter, and would really love to have an old Norton.

8. What's the name of their band?

[MineralMan]

10. Very obsure. Called the Norton Vespas.

Their first album was entitled, "MOT Test"

It's very rare.

(If you actually get this, you're either British or a hopeless motorcycle nerd. Note: I'm not British.)
