So, it's the early 1980's in So Cal. You were either a Punk, Preppie, Metalhead, Surfer, GDI, Nu-Wave geek, or a Mod... If you were a Mod, Southern California was a great place to be: the music scene was great, people were cool, and everyone rode scooters. The Music and the scooters seemed to go together hand in hand. On any given show day, you could catch at least 30 to 50 scooters parked in front of the Dancing Waters Club in San Pedro, or Fender's in Long Beach, let alone one of the Hollywood clubs. Some scooter rallys were even centered around the music back then (gee, what a concept!). This section will have links to photos and/or articles from that fun era and will continue to grow as I gather more material. If you have any scanned pics, flyers, articles that you'd like to contribute, please e-mail them to mario@southbayscooterclub.com. I'll give ya full credit for whatever you send my way. Thanks a lot! --- Mario
