Brylcreem and white silk scarves

Nice vid from YouTube about the Cafe Racer scene. It's been about for a while but worth another look.

The Bikes...The Beat...The Burn-ups... Tritons, Norvins & Goldies. Lewis Leathers, Levi blue Jeans and a white silk scarf. Leather Boys, Ton-Up Kids & Coffee Bar Cowboys. Southend, Brighton and everyone back to the Ace. British beat on the jukebox, the smell of Castrol 'R' and a big steaming mug of tea.

You can almost smell the Brylcreem

Filmed on location throughout the UK, Europe and U.S. by crews from Chet Burks Productions and Mike Seate of Cafe Racer magazine, "Cafe Society" brings viewers a rare, intimate view of the Ton-Up culture".
