It might well be 40 years ago since Quadrophenia was first seen on UK cinema screens, but even now, in Tokyo, a weekend life based around scooters and sharp suits still lives on.
Photographs from a small group of islands

Harry says
So cool. They could be stars in a movie! 🙂
Lee says
They certainly had quite a look. Definitely a nice change from the usual cars and taxis as well.
DavidT says
That’s one stylish looking dude! 🙂 Gotta love the mod look.
Lee says
Yeah, a sharp look, but also quite timeless. One that definitely fits the young fella in the photo too.
Grumposaurus Rex says
Not enough mirrors on the scooter. Boo!
Lee says
Haha, a minimalist mod it would seem.
cdilla says
So much style. Tie even matches the road lane.
I looked up the “Crazy Scooter Club The Numbers! Tokyo”. Seems they are quite active, and there are plenty of photo posts of their more blingy Vespa chandeliers for those that crave it!
Always a rocker myself – never had a penchant for sharp dressing – though if I’d had the silhouette of, say, Paul Weller, things might have been different 🙂
Lee says
I know eh? And his girlfriend’s socks. That’s real attention to detail!
The rest of the gang went past just a little before them actually. Some of them with mirrors a plenty. Thing is, I’d heard them, but couldn’t get near enough in time. Was well disappointed, until the man above appeared. Seems they had got detached from the group and weren’t quite sure which way they had gone. The perfect chance then to move in and get a quick photo.

The Kids Are Alright.
Lee says
Yes, they really are. Or at least these two are anyway.
LAObserver says
This photo is a serious teaser. It makes me wonder how the beauty on the back is attired.
Lee says
She’d opted for the rather more standard parka.
