I'm sure some of you have seen this site, but for those that haven't, this is what being a scooterboy is all about.

Enjoy!

The pics are great, but the commentary between them is what gives the real insight into the scooter scene in the UK in the 80's for me.

I have a book called "Scooter Boys" penned by a Mr. Gareth Brown who wrote for the scooter mags in the UK all those years ago. It paints a fairly good picture of the subculture. Wish I could have lived it. There are a few other books out there as well.

Anytime I ever hear the phrase "scooter boy" I always think of this. Every time.
