Description
Racing in the Street: Early Cafe Racer Years is a vivid account of the early 1960s teenage motorcycling scene, told with passion and humour. The story follows the emergence of the Mods and the coining of the term 'Rocker', set against the backdrop of post-war youth culture. The book chronicles the lives of a young crowd hanging out in a café, where they would often gather to share stories of their adventures, including racing in the streets of London and scorching down the By-passes at high speeds. The author's use of photographs adds to the book's authenticity, providing a glimpse into the bikes, the café, and the fun and games of the era. Spanning the years 1960-63, this was a time before there were too many rules, and the author captures the sense of freedom and rebellion that defined this period.
