We took a drive down the coast to Stonehaven harbour, Inverbervie, Catterline and Benholm today. I liked this one personally (let me know if you think otherwise, and I might just change it!)

There were roughly 100 guys all on mopeds. I thought I had walked into a time warp. Resplendent
in staypressed, fred perry, and bowling shoes. Hadn't seen anything like it since I stayed on the
south coast.

It's been photoshopped to death though. Blurred, noised, layered, desaturised, and then rubbed
through the stronger colours on the biker and his bike. Tried to get it looking like something
from a day-gone-by!

I first saw that film in a cinema in Edinburgh when it first came out in 1979. I then went to see it several times after. I bought the album and bought into the style. Ever since then, when I was a mere 16, I have wanted a scooter - but now I fear I am too old and overweight for a zoot suit!
