From the post-punk massed Mod revival of the late 1970's a new cult figure emerged, the likes of which had never been seen before. With a passion for 'traditional' Rhythm & Blues, Tamla Motown, Northern Soul and andrenalin pumoing hot steamy All-Niters, their lifestyle was fast and all absorbing. They would gather at coastal resorts in their thousands and party for days at a time. They made their own rules from within and their first loves were their scooters. They called themselves 'Scooter Boys'. With an undeniable history dating back to the 1950's, and an o-going global heritage, the Scooter Boys story can now be told. Flick open the pages of the book and read about their compelling way of life! Gareth Brown has owned and ridden Italian motor scooters and been an active cult scooterist on the roads of Europe since 1978. He was the first true scooter-riding editor of Scootering magazine and has had over one thousand articles published on the scootering movement. A graduate of social history, Gareth also lectures regularly on the phenomena of youth culture, and is widely regarded as the world-leading authority on lifestyle scooter culture.
