[Mad On Triumphs]

Here are two videos of the Mods and Rockers. The interviewer is Terribley British. Warning, these two videos could have you in stitches, how times and attitudes have changed, of a sort

Amusing stuff
I wonder if they look back now and say to themselves, "What was I thinking?"

Yes this really looks like a great event, it's a shame that they don't close the road off to everything but bikes. It always amazes me how you get people of different cultures aspire to another country's.
Some people in the UK aspire to the Harley image, and Canadians, and Americans and lots of other nations too, aspire to the British Rocker scene. I think it's brilliant that we all enjoy each others take on motorcycling. And long may it continue. I've always held the belief that if you were to put politicians on motorbikes, you'd solve most of the world's problems. Lets face when you see someone on a bike, you don't care about who or she is, or what they look like or anything else, you just go straight to talking about the bike.
When I win the lottery Dave I'll send you a airline ticket to the event, I'll be going too

Well said
Our vintage bike club is a good example of that. We have members from all walks of life. When we get together we don't talk about work. That's forgotten until the next work day. We're just there for the ride; the comradery; the bikes and the laughs.

Motorcycling transcends political, geographic, and cultural lines.
