  As an aging balding rocker I just love these films and looking back at the good old days. Even now if I see a scooter group of mods I always give them the big thumbs up... After all they made us and we made them... A wonderful decade to grow up in and kids nowadays don't know how to enjoy themselves by havin a bloody good fuck off riot ha ha ha

  Very sad we don't see anymore great youth movements like the Mods , Teddy Boys , the Beatniks , the Hippies , the Punks ... and many others .. Subcultures always enrich a society in so many different ways , and that what's missing today ....  Greetings from France

  Not sure if my last message gets read. I was a biker at the end of the 60's. Hey guys remember the HPMCC in Guildford. I'm now a very old and well behaved 60 something. I now live in Cornwall but would really love to hear from anyone from those crazy days. You only live once, but you can remember your youth thousands of times

  I was a mod in the early 80s and the guy that lived buy me had been an original rocker in the 60s used to tell me some great stories and had some great original photos used to spend hours chatting

  I was too young for this but even at a young age, I instinctively sympathised with the Rockers although I had nothing against the Mods.  I've always liked the old British bikes and I still do.  Scooters did nothing for me.  Of course the violence was always blown up by the papers.  As in other publications, good insight from Dr Suzanne McDonald-Walker.  Good film.

  I got a lot of influence from subcultures like mods and skins. They had the best fashion taste.

  My older brother rode a triumph tiger 100 back in those days.  He was a god in my eyes.

  Does not mention the rise in young folks pay rates which really changed things more than anything.

  &quot;It gives you no idea! &nbsp;You&apos;d think National Service was long ago Then?? &nbsp; Those kids who went in the service were out again two years later, and the kids of the early sixties had missed Rock and Roll of 1957&quot;
