You've brought back some memories here Mrs. B!

'Proper' mods had Lambrettas, whereas I had a hand-painted and rather clapped out Vespa, and another member of our informal group had a BSA Bantam 125cc motor bike, which was quite lucky because he was a rather plump lad and could therefore be relied upon to be bringing up the rear behind me (not being last was a matter of pride, and involved taking considerable risks, especially as I decided that specs and crash helmet together was not a good look, so usually dispensed with either one or the other.

Sunday afternoon burn-ups round the Sussex countryside were a regular feature, often finishing up in Bexhill for a tiny, shrivelled up burger at the Wimpey bar, the only place open on a Sunday afternoon in those days.
As you can probably tell from the eclectic mix of machinery, we didn't class ourselves as mods (probably thought we were above that sort of thing, but in truth were probably secretly afraid of being beaten up by the local Rockers!
