This took me right back to the nineteen sixties, it seems so long ago now. I genuinely believe these were the golden years for a lifestyle that we just do not have today. For me, it is not seeing things through rose-tinted glasses, it is a true reality of what freedom we enjoyed, yes as bikers, we faced some prejudices and injustice, but that was more to do with opposition to change. I regard myself as a true Rocker, yes it was in part about rebelling against society, but having that freedom to more or less do what we enjoyed. I can vividly recall the excitement of meeting your girlfriend (often against the parents wishes), and riding off with like minded friends, visiting cafes, listening to the juke box (no Spotify back then). Those long lingering kisses before your girlfriend had to go back home. Possibly more to follow. Ride safe from an ageing Rocker.

Life was a lot simpler back in the day, not so many distractions or social prejudices as today, I cannot image how kids cope with growing up today, but just maybe they cope because it is their norm. As youngsters irrespective as to when we were growing up we adapted to our social surroundings.

Love it! I would meet my girlfriend on the bike, and we would ride off somewhere, and sometimes linger.... just like that picture!

A few more photos from the golden years of the sixties, come on Doctor Who, transport me back to 1967, along with my then hair, and my up to date bank balance. Love the beehive hair, I forgot what they used to look like. It was a case of Sunday night, "I have got to wash my hair," but see you Monday night, and another lingering long kiss.

More photos, there is a huge following in Japan around the rocker scene, and last year saw a large Japanese party arrive in the UK.

A few photos from the Japanese Rockers UK visit, they attended lots of venues, including the Ace Cafe, and Lewis Leathers. They are very active in Japan and love the British Rocker scene.
