I lived through a million and one adventures as a Mod, riding my Vespa motor scooter for well over thirty thousand miles around Orange County and Los Angeles during 1982-84. I began collecting the photos and other memorabilia in this book back then with the idea that someday I would tell the story of being a Mod in OC and LA during the early 1980s. When We Were Mods tells that story – how I became a Mod and lived the go, go, go lifestyle… Of course, I couldn’t be Mod by myself, it takes a movement, and that movement is what I’m looking to celebrate by telling my story.
