Bangor Bob replied to Dominic Adam Cutts's discussion 'Badges'"I like it Sid!! ;)
Politics, religion, sexual persuasion, football!! Nothing to do with Mod!!!
Flags I can understand as the Union flag is a 60's icon and its already on of some Lambretta clothing.
Keep the devisive stuff out."
Bangor Bob replied to hubert davenport's discussion 'vespa 46'"John I love your SpaceAge/Retro description, and it is!
Maybe not for me but i can see a load of interest in them and there is a 'tip of the hat' to classic vespa styling.
Regarding the LN "Lambretta" that everybody loves to…"
Bangor Bob replied to The Cappuccino Kid's discussion 'The Youth of the MOD scene..is it heading it's own way?'"I think its healthy that young Mods are blazing they're own trail. Wouldn't be very Mod if we all like exactly the same things, although we do share common ground and interests overlap. Just reading some older threads shows the…"
Bangor Bob replied to Modrophonic's discussion 'Project 11, it's a mod thing, it's what mods do.'"Best of luck with this, cracking idea.
Moses will blow the place apart!
Seen them in Belfast earlier this year and they were electric!!"
Bangor Bob replied to Dave Hillyard's discussion 'Advice please on thid scooter'"Dave dont rush in!
If its really a PX you fancy then sit your ground and wait until the right one turns up.
You always get cheaper scoots in the winter months."
Bangor Bob replied to sid's discussion 'Is there anybody else not actually into the Stone Roses?'"Your all too old for the Roses, I was at Allenbrooke Tech in Belfast when i first heard them in the days of trips, just as E's were making it big in Northern Ireland, probably 1988/89 and there really wasnt anything else like the…"
Bangor Bob replied to John Paterson's discussion 'Whats your preferred Parka.(Not for the parka hating Mods)'"Patches for the individuals. Same old same old for the sheep."
Bangor Bob replied to John Paterson's discussion 'Whats your preferred Parka.(Not for the parka hating Mods)'"My mate Ralph recently gave me his M51 as hes been getting more and more into the VW camper thing. I was over the moon as i'd been after one for ages but didnt have the spare loot. Got home, put it on and it was too small! Had to give it…"
Bangor Bob replied to marty mcallister's discussion 'TO BE SOMEONE - MODS IN IRELAND'"Out just in time for Crimbo, thats the hints started for my young lad then."
Bangor Bob replied to David Kerr (The Short Blond Mod)'s discussion 'Which LP or 45 sleeve covers have the coolest image?'"Not really mod but I like the Oasis on with the roller in the swimming pool, plenty in that."
Bangor Bob replied to Andrew Harris's discussion 'Monkey Jacket V The Harrington'"Harrington for me.
Lost my monkey jacket in Ayr in August and havent bothered replacing it.
Dont know what it is but the harrington just seems more of a timeless classic and (to me) the monkey jacket reminds me of an american college jacket without…"
Bangor Bob replied to John Paterson's discussion 'Scooter Acessories. When is the cut-off point?'"I read an article somewhere about a guy (French or Italian electrician I think he was) that went way WAY too far and it was hard to see the scoot under all his accesories. I cant remember if he actualy rode the thing but what i did notice was…"
