Ah, England in the 1960s, tear-arsing around on my LI-150 with the lads, out of my brains on amphetamines and cheap wine, singing Hope I Die Before I Get Old. The best girls, the best music, the best fashions. A pox on all rockers.
Almost every decent sized city in the US has a scooter club. The clubs have regular group rides. Many of them throw a rally every year so all their friends from other cities can come and have a weekend scooter party. There’s a huge convention every summer called Amerivespa, that moves around to different cities, usually drawing between 500 and 1000 riders. And btw, the 150’s and bigger can go as fast as motorcycles. They can be ridden on interstates, most riders just choose not to.
OK in England, Lambretta and Vespa scooters were to ride of choice for alot of Mods in the 60s. And scooter rallies are a thing in the UK, in homage to the 60s.

The roundrel (see denim jacket in middle) was a mod symbol.
Bottle Rocket Scooter Club here. Denver CO
We ride vintage Vespa and Lambretta scooters and this pic looks the annual Lambretta jamboree happening in Florida right now.
When I was in HS back in the mid 80s, the Filipino gangs, or Flips, used to all ride around together on souped-up scooters like that. That kind of shit went all the way back to the 60s mods, maybe even earlier than that.

One word. Quadrophenia. Watch it.

What is the funny part?
English mods on their way to Brighton for a weekend. Yep, 100%

Scooter gangs have been a thing since the 50s. Mods.

Entire South East Asia is a scooter gang.
Nothing new in the UK. Without these mod groups they couldn’t of made Quadrophenia as it was.
#We are, we are, we are the mods
Ever been to Taipei?
I take it there’s no The Who in your collection.
Clubs. Not gangs.

Not particularly funny. You’ve obviously never been to Taiwan or other Asian countries.

Wait till the OP finds out about electric bike gangs.

It’s the heck angels
These scooters are good fun. They are two strokes with a clutch and 4 gears. You can tune them up so they are crazy fast. Good times.
Scooter Brothers!!
