EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we see a young Dave Lewis of Coventry sitting proudly on his one-of-a-kind scooter. This distinctive motorbike is adorned with an impressive array of 12 headlamps and 22 rear-view mirrors, showcasing Dave's unique style and love for customization. However, despite his eye-catching modifications, Dave found himself in a bit of trouble with the law. The police stopped him due to a malfunctioning rear light on his scooter. As a result, he was handed a fine of £17 by the Coventry Magistrates today. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the rebellious spirit and individuality that defined the mod subculture during the 1970s. The mods were known for their love of fashion, music, and stylish transportation choices like scooters. Dave Lewis' scooter serves as both a mode of transport and an expression of personal identity. Its extravagant design undoubtedly turned heads wherever he went. It represents not only his passion for motorcycles but also his desire to stand out from the crowd. As we delve into this nostalgic image captured in March 1971, it reminds us how youth culture has always sought ways to push boundaries and make bold statements through their chosen means of transportation – even if it meant facing consequences along the way.
