Mods And Rockers '64 Riots

Skinny suits, Italian scooters and The Who -VS- leather jackets, cafe racers and Elvis. The feuding between the two British subcultures came to a head in 1964. The fights spilled out onto the streets and into the ocean. "You had to be one or the other during the early Sixties, otherwise you got a hiding from both groups." Can I dress like a mod but ride a bike? I guess then I'd have to kick my own ass.
