Just for a laugh I visited the Ace Cafe on Rocker day riding my Hayabusa. As I rode along the North Circular from the A12 end I got some funny looks as I was wearing my old Kangol with goggles and a plain centre zip black jacket and black boots rather than Power Ranger stuff.
As I entered the car park at the Ace I was immediately directed to the Cafe racer parking, then the marshall looked at my bike and I was sent down the far end with the other Jap stuff haha.
It's funny how original Mods and Rockers, even the revivalists from the 80s all meet up and chat about our machines and what we did as youngsters.
But Beware! There are old guys out there who still think they are angry rebel teens(Friends of the Devil and twice as mean) who still would rather get home late than accept a lift of a Japanese superbike or modern scooter, and in my experience an MOT tester who was a Mod, would not pass an old British bike on first visit without something that had to be sorted 100%(Bullsh*t, its not to loud )
Last IOW Scooter Rally I went over from Lymington with a load of scooters, me on my Yamaha. I was treated as a scooterist. On the return from Yarmouth I was marshalled in with a load of Bikes (away from the scooters) & informed I was there so I didn't have to mix with the Mods
