  20. as i was alwaysa rocker most rockers then and no were clean and although yes some times they were covered in oil from tinkering with bikes,mant i know now have very sucessful businesses and have very good lives. i know a lot of people mixed up the geniun rocker with the scruffy hells angles just because they rode bikes and sometimes frequented the same places most of us rockers would not be seen with hells angels. but yes the answer to the original question is a big yes the time the people the places and the freedom we as teenagers had and of course the music and i know that most mods think
