[MI5]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo 

Well done all.

[Cleoriff]

Well done everyone.

@Mi-Amigo, the most annoying question was the name of The Leader Of The Pack!!

It was my era and I was riding pillion on a motorcycle. Yes it was in a gang. 😂

My dad told me if I wanted to continue, I had to wear a crash helmet!!! Oh the shame (I thought at the time)

They didn't become law until 1973, so I was considered a bit of a wuss. My bouffant hair was a real mess when I removed the crash helmet. 🙄

Oh the memories 😂😂

[Mi-Amigo]

Thanks for sahring your memories of being a bike rider.

When I was teenager in the 60s I so wanted a scooter. I loved the Mods. My dad said "No way. No son of mine is going to hair off to Brighton and join in the Mods v Rockers on the beach" 😂 . It did his head in when I saved up and bought a parka but sadly no scooter.

Thank you @Mi-Amigo another entertaining interlude ! 😂
