    It takes an hour every morning to wipe the dew off all those mirrors then adjust. Mr Mikey.

    Mod chic! Which brings to mind a quote from that great American, Ringo Starr, who when asked if he was a mod or a rocker, replied, "Ummm, no...I'm a mocker."

    For topical application, only. Not to be taken internally or used in com-
    bination with other drugs or alcohol, except as directed by your shaman.
    Do not operate heavy equipment, unless you actually know how to.

    Mirrors and lights necessary for Italian traffic! Not to mention horns and sirens.

    This was typical of competitive Mods in the 1960s. For the uninformed. Mods had dressed scooters and wore fashionable clothes, their opposite number were the Rockers who wore Leather Jackets, Jeans and leather boots and rode cafe racers. Skirmishes twix the two were not unknown. Mods listened to the Beatles, Rockers listened to Elvis.
