Nope!

I don't care what film it was in or how many lights and mirrors it's got!

Well, I actually get that. The value is not in the bike ofcourse.
The film quadrophenia captures a turning point in Brit culture/history.

I am from accross the North Sea where the whole mod & rockers did not apply but even so the cúltural impact got to those shores with the musical Tommy et al.
This scooter symbolises thát.

Toya Wilcox did not care one way or other


...and btw, in real life nor does my charming company on the pillion. All ´them´ care about is the romantics of riding pillion on a ´chuli´* scooter regardless of brand, model, vintage or cil.capacity.

My charming company is oblivious to it all; just feels riding pillion hugged against my back is romantic like making lóve.


* What is it to be Chuli?
In popular culture, being Chuli refers to a person who is physically attractive, but also possesses an attractive charisma and personality. In other words, it is not only about being a beautiful person, but also about having a positive and self-confident attitude.
In addition, being Chuli also involves having social skills and being able to relate easily to others. A cool person is considered to be someone who is nice, funny and has a great ability to make others feel good.
