On The Scene

[Soulsmith]

Behave yourselfs...

I'm a scooterist i'm not a drunk... I don't get in fights... I feel I have a full respect of Northern Soul, and I dislike people who drink on the dance floor.

I have a decent job (facilities manager in a solicitors) so how do I come in to your scumbag comment?

Sorry I am really put out about this... if you don't want to read about scooters for sale, which I myself don't as there are already 5 in the garage at the moment.. turn over the page. 

I find some of the comments on here rude narrow minded and out of date. Scooter runs 15 years ago, we was all younger then.

I always pick up on the scene.. scooter sales or not i'm not bothered as long as it has what i want from it..

I agree with Mischief, but as we are way off topic I'll be brief.

If you took all of the people from a mod/scooterist background out of the northern scene......there wouldn't be a scene left to talk about.

Col,

With all due respect, I really don't agree with that statement. Yes, Scooters etc are inextricably linked and they always will be.

But to say there would be no scene without them???

Maybe down South there wouldn't be, but up North

All IMVFH(and uneducated)O

Different regions I think have slightly different scenes, or at least in terms of music anyways.

I do think that has changed to an extent over recent years with the advent of forums such as these.

There's venues catering for all tastes in most areas now, which I think is a good thing. Variety is the spice of life as they say.......

Too far off-topic!! Sorry

Evening Jamie & Col

Looks like it's gone well off topic already, so I'll just say Jamie there may be more on the scene in your area with mod/scooterist roots than you realise....there were at least half a dozen that I knew at your brilliant night in April.

Sorry you couldn't make Sunday mate.....but you probably wouldn't have liked it

in terms of idiots at rallies etc .... I think you have to get it all into perspective. at a rally like the IOW you get anything up to about 8000 scooterists ..... bound to be a few idiots in that number. I think the most people I've ever seen at a NS venue is the 800 or so at Crossfire when I went (and thats not strictly NS), although I know there are some bigger nights. Most I've been to though are much smaller therefore perhaps less potential for idiots.

My contact with other scooterists locally and at dos/events/rallies etc has brought me no grief whatsoever.

On the subject of Scooterist's @ Northern Soul Do's....I would like to feel that over the years there have been quite a few people who where what you would call SCUMBAGS @ first but as they gradually got into the Music, Became GOOD People....& Are now Northern Soul Fans with Scooters....

Keep @ It
