  • WE ARE THE MODS!!!!!! thumbs up if you are!

  • thinking on to my previous... maybe The Stones / Blues etc.

  • THUMBS UP FOR MODS!!!

  • I can understand what music Mods used to be into in them days, The Kinks, The Who etc, but always wondered what exactly the Rockers were into in the mid 60s, there was no HM then and no "Rock" music as we know it .. maybe The Doors but that seems a bit to American... any ideas anyone ???

  • @IanWrites Rock and Roll. As in, Bill Haley, Elvis, Eddie Cochrane, Buddy Holly. That's what the Rockers were into. Not classic rock or metal or whatever. That only took off during the 70s. This was early 60s and died off later that decade.

  • THUMBS UP ROCKERS!!!

  • Mod girls are just so damn cute...but I can't ride scooters. Maybe I just like the straddle position more than the sitting at the dinner table position, plus bigger wheels, more speed...what's not to love about a cool cafe racer?

  • @dickhucklebuck3 <3 straddle position <3 cruisers. I mean the proper ones, none of that metric nonsense.

  • ROCKERS RULE! Mods suck mud. I ride a proper motorcycle; a Triumph 900cc triple. I would rather castrate myself with a broken beer bottle than ride a pussy scooter.

  • scooters sound like the farts you do in the bath.... get a real bike!!! orrible bloody things.

  • I got a Thruxton ,and I'm gonna be getting a Vespa too. Man, I must suffer from Split Personality !

  • die neuen scooter lass ich mal so durchgehen, we are mods...vespa und lambretta, danach die rocker, triumph, ducati und vieleicht auch harley :-), cooles video!!sehr schön und danke

  • go visit the quadrophenia collection at Littledean jail UK open from April 01st till end of the October me

  • my dad had a lambreta  he was 6 foot 4" he traded it in for a bsa a10 goldflash wich i still own today very glad i did not inherit the blody scooter i hate the things eney way he did look silly on a scooter

  • @andycam1 shame he didn`t invest in a good education for you lol .... spelling is very bad

  • vans rool.

  • scooters more suited to central city life, real bikes better in the outer regions where real men live. I think it was the CB750 that made triumph go broke but the sound of a triumph is a lot better.

  • cool vid but lose the modern twist n go scooter. 

  • in the day mods would have KICKED THE SHIT out of ROCKERS

  • @123connormac

    well done mods ;)

    Tommy

  • @123connormac not really mate, i read a load of old news papers and all i saw was "mod found dead in sea" "mod stabbed" "rockers break in to mod ball" and so on.

  • MODS ALL THE WAY!!!!

  • enjoyed that vid, its got to be a British motorcycle if your going to be a rocker

  • Where is this? You guys have some nice streets.  Ahh, Stockholm. Shoulda waited 'til the end. Nice vid!

  • Where is this? You guys have some nice streets.

  • mods are puffs

  • MOD'S FOR THE WIN ! (Y)

  • Great video, what a cool gathering. I'd have to side with the Rockers, but check out the scooter with the sidecar, fuckin' ace! Forever Two Wheels.

  • I love the 'banter' between the Mods and the Rockers...My dad was an original Mod in the 60's...I'm a Rocker/Biker. I ride a 2003 Harley Low Rider; however...I also have a 1964 Lambretta Li150 Special (Pacemaker) fitted with a TS1 225 engine...

    Be like John Lennon..."I'm not a Mod OR a Rocker...I'm a MOCKER !" Pure genius...

  • @1450davey It wasn't Lennon. Ringo sat: "I'm a mocker". Probably Ringo was a Rocker, but the business first. There are styles, no one better than the other. why compare a Vespa with any motorcycle? Vespa is a way of life is not just a bike, sixty years and counting...

  • @1450davey ringo starr said that u downie

  • @robbieC971 suddenly the quote is a lot less cool. Anyway everybody knows that mods suck :)

  • @1450davey lol thats ringo who said that but yeah i agree :)

  • Fuck mods Scooters are shit, they deserved a kicking for having more thyan 2 mirrors.

  • @joshjs667 My scooters have no mirrors. My RS250 has 2.

  • @lambrettist2007 hahaha im joking, i couldnt care what anyone rides or what it looks like there chose

  • I suppose if i was a rocker i`d instantly have big muscles and be ard as nails...and if i had a fast bike and leathers my dick would be bigger, sod it i`ll become a metal head rocker now i`ve seen the light

  • @goifi. Well said that man

  • These 60s mods are a bunch of chavs, they think their so hard, id like to see them in a cannibal corpse mosh pit

  • @MaidenFan24568 Chavs? come on man think about it? id rather be a greasy rocker third class ticket

  • @TheZhongzheng

    Obviously u misunderstood me a little, cannibal corpse are a death metal band, deathmetal is a very extreme form of heavy metal which originated from rock. What im saying is id like to see these mods in a corpse mosh pit because it would be funny watching the fuckers being stramples, i dont like mods, im with the greasy rockers. Lastly the reason i called mods chavs is because if u compare a mod to a chav then you see they are very simular.

  • @MaidenFan24568. Death metal is actually pretty gay. They think they are hard but just gay, and scruffier than the chavs. Gay chavs in leather listening to noisy gay shite! Cannibal corpse are an extreme form of queerness which originated from Queen. I don't like Death metalists they are not even third class tickets, they are simply rich gay kids dressing up.

  • @TheZhongzheng I hate metal too!!! It's gotta go!!

  • awsome, i love this video, thank u for uploading it!!

  • im 15 and i ride a Piaggio Ciao :) We bought it yesterday and it's supposed to not do more than 30 km/h but mine does around 50 km/h without tuning it :) Everything is original and that's the way it should be.

  • MODS WERE NERDS,& LITTLE RICH KIDS,on a lamberetta 250,& geeky vespa's hey ben 1969350 your'e talking about early 1960s a triumph 650, norton ,b.s.a goldstar e.t.c.. were pretty quick for the time,& yes rockers did like the 1950s era hence there name CEREALRULZ it's pretty obvious for most of us

  • dont agree with the `mods are pretending to be middle class" thing at all, its cheaper to buy a vespa than some judge dread bike and the music they listened to in the sixties was all about working class lifestyle and partys...not riding off into some sunset with your hair blowin in the wind...but each to their own eh

  • @colabacio The council estate I grew up on was all mods, the Rockers tended to be more rural. Nothing but scooters round here, all on hire purchase.

    When I got into the second generation mod thing I had no time to be fighting with greabos. I thought too much of the cloth for that.

    Mod was a working class phenomenon, if you were pretending to be middle class you wouldn't look like a mod. It was working class kids looking sharp. 'Clean living under difficult circumstances' as Pete meaden said.

  • Helmets?? Not cool in 65!

  • Mods. The ascendants of Middle Class, "Hooray Henry`s", with their Polo kneck jumpers, and MG Cars. Found the Lambretta, and thought, "How cool it was, to be Working Class, Haw ! Haw !"

    Teds and Rockers, are a Working Class phenomena. NO Pretenders here !

  • Hahaha, scooters are for pussys and childern, sorry also for gays. a lot of lights that do not work, tons of mirrors-fucking playmobile christmas trees

  • @PureriderNr2 hahaha, BUT SOMETIMES THEY LOOK COOL.

    BUT ALSO I'M AGREE WITH YOU.

  • that lambretta at 1:57 is fuckin nice

  • need more mods

  • @chas1409 yes we do

  • Rocker for life

  • I think it funny how people can chat shit about something they know absolutely fuck all about

  • Non ha più senso andare in moto, era l'emblema della libertà fino a quando le donne non avevano voce in capitolo, adesso regna la paura e tutti voi coglioni dovete usare il casco.

  • what is the song that is playing?

  • I'm going on record The scooters are so gay.

    There is No WAY to look tough on a Vespa...sorry. If you think there is, its probably because you own a Vespa. (and you arent that cool)

  • @azrock4ever your mums gay

  • @chas1409 Awww so you're one of the whiney Vespa riders. Poor little boy

  • @azrock4ever Its got nothing to do with looking tough on a scooter,you simply don't have a clue do you?the scooter is just part of the image of being a mod/skin.

  • @bladesmark2 Its a good thing that there is an outlet for nerdy wanna-be douchebag bikers then. I stand corrected.

  • yeah, I say rockers and mods join forces to take down the chavs.

  • im a rocker, not the bigest fan of mods but chavs are the real enemy

  • i love the mod culture

  • what kind of bikes are the "rocker bikes"... or from which brand?

  • @soldier312

    The early ones were modified british twins, BSA, Norton, Triumph,, Velocette, vincent

  • Why do mods and rockers hate eachother so much?

  • Theres something about Rockers that always screams midlife crisis! Mods are always young, cool, attractive chaps. We are the Mods!

  • I have a 1958 Li 150 framebreather and a suzuki GSX750, i have been a mod since 1980 at the age of 16, well are all riding bikes with two wheels, and we all get along fine now in the UK. i have not seen a problem for over 20 years

    dont start making it look like the 1960's when we have all moved on from that time , and its better for it

  • rockers are far superior to the scooter riding mods, scooters were originally made for twiggy and lu lus of the era to do there shopping lol,

  • im a mod and there is some rocker at my school and on the last day of therm he cam up to be and hit me i punshesd him in the face he has a brocken nose and two teeth fall out lol he was crying

  • Mods are far superior, you have to see it in England to understand, even now, the old Mod boys are still cool, where the rockers are still dirty tossers

  • fuck the mods! :D :D

  • i hate them to

    ROCKERS RULE

  • hell yeah! :D

  • @soldier312 fuck you fucking little rocker i brock one of you at school on monday lol he was on the foll crying

  • @Mods130 Are you an elaborate troll? I sure hope so. 14 years old, and you think you're a mod because mummy buys you fitted suits? Fuck sake.

    Also, boasting about breaking someones nose at school makes you a CHAV, hate to break (haha) that to you. Now fuck off, and come back when puberty finishes.

  • @k1df1ghter ooooo your so funny and my mum hates that ima mod i get my one stuff so yer dont try to take the piss out of me is you ant got a clowe get a job

  • @Mods130 You're 14, so how do you earn the money for your fancy suits? That's right, mummy gives it to you. Tell her I said hi btw.

  • @onemadcIucker yer i can coz i have a have time jobat my frnads dads bar you there !

  • good vid

  • dont think i could take a mod seriously vs a rocker but thats just the opinion ive got from american history, dont know history of mods but i think a hells angel could fuck up any mod squad

  • Hells Angels really aren't rockers though. That's a completely different subject. I agree, though, that it's a lot easier to take rockers seriously as a gang.

  • yea totally the rockers were into elvis and weren't as tough as they are nowerdays!

  • Great film.

  • Great film . Some nice bike's . Loved it.

  • fantasic filming we love bikes old or new

  • who rides a cb750 and calls himself a rocker

    get your self a triumph Bonneville T120 or T140 , Norton Commando 850 ,or a BSA ;) real bike's

  • @BEN1969350 Not me, I ride a VMAX

  • @BEN1969350 You ever heard of a cafe racer? Go google images cb750 then you'll see who would fucking ride one and call themselves a rocker. Twat.

  • @whaddefuxx Its anecdotal i do.

  • @BEN1969350 Who rides a vespa and calls himself a man?

  • @Iubricant Me. I ride a Vespa, and yes, I sure do call myself a man. I live the real british way in Denmark. Rockers = Brits pretending to be Americans. Mods = True brits.

  • @BEN1969350 im well into mods an rockers, im at the ace cafe all the time and go brighton every year i love the whole thing but dnt wanna ride an old slow unreliable bike.U see them at the side of the road all the time on the big runs.Times are moving on and i think the new thing is if ur on a bike ur a rocker if ur on a ped or scooter ur a mod simples.btw i ride a kawasaki zr750

  • @Garybeer22 Its anecdotal i have a 78 cb750 cafe racer

  • @BEN1969350 look at the history of the past, many young rockers who put honda emblems on their leather jackets in 1960's , if you dont know nothing , do not judge from outside

  • yeah

  • which city is that?

  • @DrMandarino Stockholm Sweden

  • Gay

  • haha you all think its the 60s still. mods or rockers, who gives a shit none of you are better than the others you just live different way of lifes, get a grip. my mum was a mod when she met my dad whos a rocker... they are still the same now but if they were as pathetic as some of the wannabe's on here, do you really think theyd be together for 24 (married 15) ?

    mm no...

  • I'm more into the mod scene but I just love them both !

  • you could change that terible noise to music,how about how about eddie cockrane come on every body

  • rockers didnt know what to be the wierdos i like the hair but im not following there music ther big teddy boys..

    we are the mods

  • bunch of faggots,MODS OF COURSE

  • ROCKERS

    scooters sound like hair dryers

  • Surpised you rockers know what a hair dryer sounds like, since yas never wash ya hair

  • I'm like Punk Rock but is it different from a Rocker?

    Well.. I do respect Mods but you guys gotta lighten your words. Not all of us have the money to buy clean clothes or even live in a house. Some have to work and get dirty to earn their bread.

  • yeah punk is different

    and most mods work too, its expensive to look the bollocks at all times

  • Some punk bands are actually inspired by Mod... Check out Blondie in the 1970s...

  • ROCKERS!!!!!

    mods with there peds...

  • mods are fucking nice guys Rockers are the real deal

  • hmm is this my hometown? looks like stockholm..

  • Anyone who likes Gene Vincent can't be all bad.

  • rockers were pretenders, pretending to be Elvis or some other greasebag singer. Mods for Britain all the way!

  • @cerealrulz And mods were pretending that they were the who, or that scooters didn't look like pure shite.

  • @cerealrulz Why would guys choose ladies transport, ask yourself where you are with that

  • @cerealrulz Geez.... Mods were inspired by Mod music like The Who, while Rockers were just a bit older and had been inspired by Elvis, Gene, Vincent, Eddy Cochran, etc. The Who had a big hit doing Eddy Cochran's "Summertime Blues." Every do the ton on a scooter? Rockers had guts, and they proved it. But today, come on, Mods are Rockers are at peace. Who's posing now? It happened then.

  • @deaddoc I don't give enough of a shit to discuss

  • @cerealrulz  Plug in "brain."

  • in the late 1960s or very early 1970s ITV did a documentary called " all dressed up and nowhere to go " if anyone has it or part of it. stick it on you-tube please. i have been looking for it, but cant find it anywhere. its a good look at what was happening with kids on tyneside then. skins, mods, hairy's greasers etc

  • All that greasy 'air and dirty clobber, it's diabolical. That's why i'm a Mod see?

    Mods rule!

  • ROCKERS ROCKERS ROCKERS ROCKERS

  • you do know that this is rockers? and yet you say a ride out with the lambretta club...hello? mods

  • sweden

  • MODS alive and kickin 09

  • If you ever have the chance to shift a '72 Norton Commando...you'll never forget it!

  • Cool Video. The thing I most remember about the Ghias and Vincents were the higher-geared transmissions like the 60's-70's BMW's. Whoa! talk about smooth cruising at high speeds. The Japenese did well in copying (them).

    Believe it or not...I remember a Sunday Evening Church service in 1970, Cheltinham-Darbyshire...when, in walked a group of Rockers who simply wanted to see what was going-on inside. The minister didn't even "break stride" in his Sermon....just kept going.....

  • mods > rockers hahahahah

  • of on a run to skeggy with some mods they invited us they said to us give us an hours start lads before ya set of on them plastic missiles LOL good guys

  • Fuck the rockers!! we are the mods!!

  • Fuck the mods we are the rockers!!!

  • Fuck off you filthy fuckin rocker grease monkey. Mods 4 eva, MODS MODS MODS MODS!!!!!!

  • nice to see, good posting, ignore the the stupid comments by people who drive cars and watch TV all weekend !

  • The rockerchics have no teeth.

    Nothing sounds like a 2-stroker.

  • scooters are portable toilets..look at the way they sit on them,then when they pull away they sound sick..9bhp...my microwave kicks out more than that..

  • LOL nice one

  • I was a mod and rode a lambretta until 1969, then I moved to a town full of rockers, so I ditched the sewing machine and rode a Vincent, then BSA, Ariel, then a triton. No matter what the difference in performance, this is a cool video. Whoever took this THANKYOU!!

  • The only time one of these useless hairdryers hit 100mph was in quadrphenia when it flew off the clift ..... lets face it!!!!

  • You sure? I still dont think those worthless lawnmowers would even have that much weight for that speed falling. You gotta have balls to handle a REAL Motorbike! If not get a Vespa. Jay Leno said it best!

  • Cheers man, make mine a Busa!

  • carefully, there's a little diahrea coming outta your mouth

  • Is that the same stuff runs outta yer hole when you go down a big hill on yer shitarse vespa at a `staggering` 65mph whoooohooooooo

  • lol.

  • hahaha!

  • the scoots aint that quick but its not about that its about the look n id rather be a mod than a sweaty greaser any day

  • WE ARE THE MODS WE ARE THE MOD WE ARE WE ARE WE ARE THE MOD, i wish they were around these days :D

  • scooters are still around, infact 1000's of them, check out isle of wight scooter rally on youtube

  • ive seen one or 2 bikes like them but i ment mods, like now we just got punks etc.... i will do cheers.

  • Hey dont knock the Galaxey Ghia v6 it would out run all the pussy scooters to 60 and hit 125 mph . Old rockers .

  • Scooters are pathetic, live life to the max (35mph) WHOOOOOHHOOOOOOOO

  • these arnt autos, lambrettas do around 65 standard a tuned one with and RB225 kit and Gp gearing will do 100+

  • WHOOOO 65 hang onto your hat boy

    100mph in about 10minutes ha ha ha

    whats a G.P Gearbox GRAND PRIX??? HA HA HA

  • yea and doing 100 on 10 inch wheel aint bad to be honest

  • Good vid and even minded as well . Scooters are pretty cool but the siver BSA was nice. The old people carrier is my ride these days. Nice vid though

  • Fucking stupid video. What was it supposed to do - a quiet ride around town! - really fucking riveting. Dottyhoot, you are the gay twat otherwise you wouldn't be thinking about it.

  • Mods look gay? then why did the gay scene start wearing leathers and the biker look ala Freddy Mercury? and the Judas Priest singer? well macho.lol

  • because its a masculine image i suppose

  • The ironic thing is that the Mod 'look' is not butch enough for gays. Skinhead and 'biker' gays are as soft and camp as Liberace! (well, most of them anyway). I used to know a couple of gay 'skins' and a 'biker' gay bloke and they were real handbag swingers. lol, life's little ironies can be funny.

  • Dottyhoot, you are the gay twat otherwise you wouldn't be thinking about it.

  • Is your effort to contact me an amateurish come on? I am flattered by your obviously newly 'out' invitation, but I am not gay, sorry.

    If you wish to meet a 'gay twat' (I don't know any gay slang but I assume a gay twat is the one that 'takes it' rather than 'gives it', am I correct?), You tube must surely have some gay videos you could go to. After all there is every other type of person here so why not gays?

    Good luck.

    P.S was your dad upset when you outed yourself? Or, were you found out?

  • You are 52 and yet you send comments that would be deemed immature by an eighteen year old, Oh dear. You are quite a sad person, to make such a childish comment, and then repeat it is quite inappropriate for a person of your age. A sad old man with unusual sexual expression -in Thailand. Hmmm...!

  • Mod guys wear eye mascara ffs, wear fag-ass clothes which they are heart scared of getting dirty, ride silly scooters that would bore any group of of indoor bowlers, they dress like queers, they act like queers and they fucking well fight like queers, pansy ass shirt lifters

  • You seem to know a lot about Mods and their sexual habits, were you one once?

  • DottyGayWhore, stop trying to play the fucking detective looking at the info on the accounts. Do you think we would be stupid enough to let twats like you have our personal information!

  • I just wanted to know what age you were because the insults were so childish, if you were younger I would have ignored your sad comments, but since you are so old and, well creepy I thought I would reply and let you know my thoughts on your infantile sex cusses.

    Who is this 'we'? Oh, the other sexually under developed commenter I suppose.

    P.S. I have all the info on you I could ever want to see, you put it out for public viewing fool.

  • DottyGayWhore. You are unbelievably stupid. You just don't get it do you! Goodbye.

  • I don't want to 'get it' if it involves petty saddo's who can only come up with completely infantile, sexually based insults. I am open and happy about that. You are quite immature for your age, I can see that by your comments. If you have special needs then I apologise for assuming that you were 'normal', otherwise you are really pathetic and your attempts at insulting me are laughably pubescent

    P.S. If someone checking your info upsets you so much why did you put it there in the first place?

  • No man, but i have eyes
