Used to be a skinhead and went underage drinking in the pub where my older brother and the rest of the bike lads went. He would either ignore me if i was lucky or give me a good kicking if i was unlucky.

Eventually got into the bikes when i went to Scarborough for the races on weekend, 1 skinhead with about 20 bikers from the Norseman in Peterlee, bit of an odd mixture in those days.(1970's)

Instant convert to biking, never got hair cut again (until it started to fall out) all skinhead mates thought i'd lost the plot.

Mods and Rockers eh! Brighton seafront looking for mods to chase and hiding under the pier from the police-those were the days!!
I used to love screaming my DBD34 Goldstar past the flat out mods in 1st at an indicated 80mph and then changing up 3 gears-silly really-but it used to make me chuckle.
As to music, well rock and roll obviously, but also blues, Rolling Stones, Kinks, and then Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Steppenwolf,, Jucy Lucy, Cream, Joe Cocker, Canned Heat, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Deep Purple-the list goes on and on. First saw the Stones live at Romford Odeon in 1963-they were warm up band for Freddie and the Dreamers-god I really am old!

Late 70's & early 80's went round the country watching the Clash and
Generation x...etc
Had a great time.

Ah nostalgia,
1978,The Clash at the Peterborough Wirrina.I think its still the most electrifying concert I've ever been to.
Sorry no pics of my bleached blonde hair,bondage jeans and "destroy" t-shirt.(Not a pretty sight!)

Oh,and the bike I owned at the time,.....Triumph Bonneville 750 (US spec).
