Rare look back at Devon's biker and scooter gangs

 

Devon's devoted bike and scooter gangs through the decades are captured in this fascinating look back through the archives.

Thousands of riders and their machines are pictured from The Motorcycle Action Group, Bikers Make a Difference in Paignton, Torbay Mods scooter club, Plymouth Motorcycle Club, Exeter Yokels Scooter Club, Torquay Vintage Motorcycle Club, Bikers Association of North Devon, Plymouth Mega Ride and other one off events are included in a trawl that goes back to the 1960s.

Although Mod invasions started in the mid Sixties on the South Coast, the first time trouble reached Devon was 1970 when a skinhead group arrived by train to clash on Easter Sunday with Hells Angels.
