So I'm in Phx for work, and it's been a long day. I'm heading back to my hotel room and on the way I pull up behind this guy on a scooter. Clearly this man has been rear ended at least once in his riding life. He had 20, yes 20 rear view mirrors on his scooter. It certainly brought a chuckle to my lips.

 

He obviously had seen "The Who Quadrophenia" movie and is a fan.

 

Yeah, it was a Mod thing in the sixties. The Who were a Mod band, hence the scooter on the front cover of Quadrophenia loaded with mirrors.

Fun fact:- If you look at the scooters mirrors on the album cover, the band members faces are reflected in four of the mirrors.

 

That movie Quadrophenia was pretty cool, made me wish I was born a little earlier. Man could that main character consume the drugs.....trippy

 

Can you see the real me?

 

only Behind Blue Eyes...


Cheers, SB

PS: Don't forget Clarkson fitted multiple mirrors to his Vespa during the Vietnam Top Gear run - and was blinded by traffic coming from behind.

 

Belllllllll-boy, got ta get it runnin now,
