Posted May 2, 200520 yr Why do event's have to pay for a few lines with no piccy (and quite often they are printed wrong!) yet someone selling a scooter get's a 'free' piccy and details?
May 4, 200520 yr 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. link 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 Jamie
May 4, 200520 yr Jamie, You may well be right. Its like living in a goldfish bowl down here. You see the same people every week Col.

You see the same people every week Col. link 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 Jamie

Sorry Jamie link 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 Dave
May 4, 200520 yr 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.
May 5, 200520 yr 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 Jon Buck
