How about the scooter on the tank course, or the couple that park for a walk in the woods.

That is priceless! Some of those scooter gangs looked bad-ass.

Haha hel yeah! That was a sweet vid!!

Great Video. The mini-bikes brought back some memories. Thanks.

Great video, love scooters.

I see gatherings of scooters, from time to time, in the mountains around Arizona. Looks like a lot more fun to me, than a Superlow or Dyna Glide.

Cool video. I liked the little minibike that the lady pulled out of her trunk. I also like the army airborne one.

Scooter gangs back then were Mods, right (as in Mods vs. Rockers)?

Haha designed with women in mind, but "man tested"

Then "it should stand up to mom... ....even if she's a heavyweight"

I wonder where they got all those antique cars to make that film. I noticed the TR-3 (my first car) a Mark 7 (I had a Mark 9), and a XK-120 (I had a XK-150) at the beginning of the clip. I wonder how they got all the English cars to run for that long (Lucas, father of darkness).

That looked like Malcolm Smith, in the off road shot, on that scooter.

They were probably all over the place 50 years ago... When the video was made.

The head gear they used back then looks more like a hard hat than a helmet.
