What do you miss about being a mod in the 80's?
This was posted on another forum and I thought it was quite good.
I'll start :
I miss :
Mellandii (commercial but cool if you were 16) 
An abundance of vintage clothing
Going into town and seeing loads of mods (you never see any now) 
All the blokes had hair
All the blokes were single

Signing autographs!
Only joshing!
Gonna have to think about this a bit. As shakesome said a lot of the mystery has gone out of it cos of modern commoonikashun. You did have to go out to gigs and get talking to people to find out what was happening.
Then again, I do like this forum lark cos you can get yourself organised. God I sound old saying that.

no responsibility & sticking yer fingers up to everything outside
discovering new things..people , music
the smell of two stroke & riding out with yer mates
...and butterflies in the belly before you went out 'cos ya never knew what was gonna happen
yep, bought a perfectly running scoot for $50 Aus once ('bout 20 squid) and rode it into the ground with no care...well, it was a Bajaj
the EXCITEMENT
