It takes an hour every morning to wipe the dew off all those mirrors then adjust. Mr Mikey.

He may be afraid of the dark, and of evil vehicles sneaking up on him from behind...

Mod chic! Which brings to mind a quote from that great American, Ringo Starr, who when asked if he was a mod or a rocker, replied, "Ummm, no...I'm a mocker."

Mirrors and lights necessary for Italian traffic! Not to mention horns and sirens.

This was typical of competitive Mods in the 1960s. For the uninformed. Mods had dressed scooters and wore fashionable clothes, their opposite number were the Rockers who wore Leather Jackets, Jeans and leather boots and rode cafe racers. Skirmishes twix the two were not unknown. Mods listened to the Beatles, Rockers listened to Elvis.
