Sorry, I rarely post, but I had to jump in on the Skrewdriver conversation.
I have an appreciation for Skrewdriver even though I consider myself an
extreme antiracist, and I am proud of my Puerto Rican heritage. They were
actually a really good band (though I am sure Ian Stuart is burning in

If anyone in California is a collector of odd old scoots, I am trying to
unload a 1960's Fuji Rabbit. I think it is a 150 touring. It is in boxes,
but is complete except for the headlamp assembly. It shouldn't be too hard
to get running. I started on it, recoating the gas tank and having
Hey all,
Its been awhile since I posted, but all the mischevious ranting and raving

A new and interesting topic!: Who are we and why do we pay attention to this

I don't know too much about the people on this list. I (for one) am not
a Mod. I really enjoy "Mod" music, fashion, scooters etc., but gone are the
days when I had all my thrift store suit's

Hey Guardo!
so what do you consider to be old?
I'm 35 and music and clothes are still a major part of my life.
I ride my P200 everywhere, unless the wife has it.
You can never be too old to be "Mod". One of the biggest myths
Everyone seen the new Jack in the box commercial with Jacks big ping pong
ball head cruising through Italy on a cherried out GS? I think there is a
lambretta car in the commercial too, I only saw it once. I just thought it
was funny. I wonder if Jack listens to Skrewdriver...

As a diehard English Rose Scooter Club member I take great offence to this!

Im not sure where you are located, but I know that in Northern Ca. Mod was a
term in the 80s and 90s for anyone who I would call "new wave". Anyone who
listened to the bauhaus and dressed in black with big hair looking like a
member of the Cure was considered "a Mod". I dont know

For all you purists Im sorry to be brit-pop boy, but the new Blur "best of" comes with

I apologize for my screwy computer if this message shows up a few times!
A friend of mine is on a Mark Eitsel mailing list that does a CD/tape exchange every
year. I just wanted to throw the idea out there in case anyone had time and was bored
enough to organize such a thing.
People who are
1) What attracted you to Modslist?
Like Modskin, I too worship Bobby Quan. Even though he seldom posts, he is the only
reason I belong to the list.
2) What is your interpetation of Mod?

fashionable, stylish, etc.
Anyone know a good (meaning cheap!) place for scooter insurance either online
