"scarcat" - Spot on ! ,we used to go in a pub in Rotherham , South Yorkshire , in the early 60s what a dump ,the Rockers were real nutters ,today we would say a death wish . The bar was like a saloon in those old wild west films ,we still laugh about it now , I was in the Navy and have travelled widely but the roughest place I have seen . Still see some of the old gang - "old" being the word . I still ride a bike 12 months of the year, pensioner ! maybe , but not many get on the pillion .

I'm 66 now but remember those days like yesterday. I had a '58 BSA A10 SR, and it was my life. If any one is interested in the ace Cafe and the rocker era, look for a film called ' The Leather Boys' starring Rita Tushingham. A bit romantasided but shows the real 'Ton-up Boys'

A great little piece of history in a more innocent age. Those guys were puppy dogs compared to what we have now

@fevkin50 A more innocent age? Most of the Cafe Racers in England were basically England's versions of biker gangs. They were a rough and tumble kind of group. Not at all innocent.
Further, at the time, there were no speed limits on British A roads. As a result they pushed their bikes far beyond the limits of what they were designed to so.
Today's bikes may be safer and faster, but I'd also say these folks took far more risks making modern bikers the innocent ones.
