Hey there Mark, it's funny that they show the Triumph Tiger 100 in race trim, like with that streamlined faring around it. That being said there was a type of customising popular in the UK in the 1950's and 60's were the owner would soup up their bikes with race parts, the style being know as a Cafe Racer, as the kids who owned them would race between cafes. In the UK before we had motorways and traffic was routed along normal roads, there would be places to stop to get a cuppa and a smoke, which were called transport cafe, akin to a truck stop in the US. A lot of the famous old transport cafes still exist. The Triumph Tiger 100, was the motorcycle that Bob Dylan was riding when he crashed it. His song These Wheels On Fire, is thought to be about his accident.

@@yakacm Interesting info! Has there ever been replicas of those 2-wheelers prominant in Quadrophenia?

[@yakacm]

​ @mrgrooves It was the Mods who rode the scooters which are in Quadrophenia. The Mods were the sworn enemies of the guys who rode the 'proper' motorcycles like the Tiger 100. The guys who rode the motorbikes were called Rockers. There was all out pitched battles between the 2 groups on public holidays usually on the seaside locations, lol. Sounds like I'm making all this up. Anyway, I did a search for diecast mod scooter and it brought back a few results which look really nice, don't think they are 1/64 though, they look bigger 1/32 maybe?

Hot Wheels Rumblers had the best play setup. Plus they worked on the track!😱

[@maikdog6534]

Cool¡¡

[@buecar]

I see a new bike series like the old ones is coming back

[@mrgrooves]

Are you saying that they are actually bringing the Motorcycles line back?

[@buecar]

@@mrgrooves Yes it was previewed in Atlanta I thought. I remember the groans on Reddit lol.. I assume auto stores are the best bet.

[@mrgrooves]

interesting. I didn't know. tbh, the line wasn't popular with collectors back then either. There was a Batman release that tended to sell quick.

[@buecar]

@@mrgrooves I glanced at the Atlanta video and did not see them, I know I commented somewhere that those used to be out many years ago. Now I am curious where I saw them coming back out. I know it was the big ones, not the 1/64 line in the silver series.

[@mrgrooves]

I was looking to tag products for this video and there are larger 1/18 scale HW Motorcycles. I wonder if that's what you seen.
