SCOOTERS

Maybe my miss spent youth could be used here too. I was a ‘mod’, and proud of it, the 60’s, as mentioned in the ‘groups’ folder, was a great time to be a teen. We never got in, or looked for trouble, we always hi-tailed it out when we saw it coming.

These are pix from these ‘mod’ days.
When you get older, you start to appreciate more of what you did way back then, so much so, that I yearned for a scoot again. In 2002, I bought two to restore, & these finally were completed & put on the road in 2007; yes, you will see them here too.
Now re-live my 'hacyon days'
