INTRODUCTION
Well, it seemed to go pretty well. We produced the first edition of The Mod Years this time in 05, and more than a few people seemed to like it. Fair enough, we thought, lets do it again. So we did. Its been easier this time in that Ive had rather more time more time to plan it and more time to get out and about, see more people and broaden the whole thing a bit. Once again there are features on the very best Mod scooters around, and lots and lots of faces. Faces in crowds, faces in discos, faces on sents, faces on shoulders.
Youll also find masses and masses of music stuff in here too class Mod music; Tamla rather than Stax this time around and a lot of very impressive contemporary Mod music too. And classic Sixties style icons too Patrick McGoohan as John Steed, Terry (Stamp) and Julie (Christie), Michael Caine and his modern-day clone Ray Winstone. Somewhere in here youll find a feature on Anthony Jamess really lovely Series II TV, which he describes as the ultimate Mod scooter. A lovely bike, just right. Id been listening to him raving about the Series II though, and then, later, starteding Yeah but I had a Series III when I was 16 so thats always been my favourite. And it all came flooding back to me; how I bought that bike, my first scooter, through the small ads in The Manchester Evening News and paid just £45 for it sounds like nothing now but it was a fortune to me back then.
There was a degree of angst involved in owning that scooter. I hated the way that when I dropped it the front cash bars deformed the leg shields and I could never get the front end to sit dead straight again. I hated the way that every aftermarket exhaust I ever bought snapped off at the back bracket. I hated the way that the air canister for the horns seemed to empty every ten days.
I hated the way the mirror lenses seemed to crack if you so much as looked in them and I was never going to ride it with even a single cracked lens. And I could never get the florida bars which Id bought second-hand to sit just right; they always seemed to be up slightly on the right hand side. Above all, I hated the fact that once in a while a side panel would decide to part company with the bike, usually on a dual carriageway, and usually in front of a truck, whose driver would rather have gone straight to hell than bothered swerving to avoid running over it. Bastard.
Mind you, once I revved the bike as I was about to set off from the lights and a bloody side panel plopped off as I sat there. Ever so embarrassing. But oh heavens, how I loved it. I was desperately in love with that, more so than with any bird. I loved the chrome flash on the side panels, the subtle shape of the front mudguard, and the way those styling lines were reflected in the headlight rim. I justd the look of the whole thing. I loved everything about it.
I loved running round the suburbs on it, trying to pick up girls and usually failing, popping round to a mates house to catch Ready Steady Go, going into town to listen to the new releases in the little independent record shop on George Street (now long gone). And most of all Id zipping into Manchester on it, with a dozenmates in front and behind me. Me in my sharp suit jacket with two buttons (only one fastened) and single rear vent and turtle-necked shirt. I loved it as we pulled up outside The Twisted Wheel, or The Locarno in Sale, or when we went with as many bikes and bodies as we could possibly muster to haunt the fair on Knutsford Heath.
