How do you become a mod?

[Screamadelica]

I ride a GS scooter with my hair cut neat, I wear my wartime coat in the winter sleet.
So, you'll need a nice 3 button suit,with narrow lapels and six inch side vents, and with a ticket pocket. Bottoms of trousers no more than 16 inches. Button down shirt and tie, no wider than 1 inch. French crop haircut done with a razor only. Vespa or Lambretta scooter with lots of chrome and mirrors. A spanner for those pesky rockers down at Brighton Beach. And a large collection of Sixties soul music as well as the Who, Small Faces, The Jam, etc. Think that about covers it, Please post pictures.

nah, I'll stick to my Triumph Bonneville, had far too many accidents with the Vespa front suspension system

Uh, and on an interesting aviation geek note, the legend says that the engine and the front suspension of the Vespa derived from components used for the Piaggio P.108, respectively a starter engine (or compressor engine, can't remember) and the rear landing gear!

Nothing like a front wheel blow out on a Vespa to get the heart racing.
