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.
