Maybe more like rockers. When I was in London in the '60's the rockers were some fun people. One of the people at Lewis Leathers took me out to the Ace Cafe. One of my favoritest memories of all time.
"The Mods were kids who were into music and fashion, dressed in suits, and rode on scooters decorated with lots of chrome and as many mirrors and lights as they could find space for.
The Rockers, on the other hand, were like the “greasers” in my school with slicked-back hair, leather jackets, leather boots, and motorcycles. Motorcycles were the favored mode of getting around back then because they were cheap and in post-war England, there wasn’t a lot of money to spend on non-essential things. The prosperity that we in the U.S. enjoyed during the ’50s escaped the Brits because as a country they had to spend every extra penny on rebuilding the stuff that got bombed into oblivion during World War II. This meant no fancy cars or luxuries except for the very fortunate few."
