THE LAST GREAT ACT OF DEFIANCE SCOOTER CLUB

..The Last Great Act Of Defiance Scooter Club started in the very early 80..s... "25 years of laughing at Crawley Scooter Club and what a laugh it..s been". Originally calling our selfs "The Vixens" we decided to change our name. Various names were chucked around like "The Exploding Frogs", "Crazy Daisys" or even "The Cherry tree Scooter club" but "Defiance" was decided and we never looked back. Our logo/patch was designed by our old boy Phil Ford. This was Danger Mouse sticking two fingers up at saba-toothed tiger (an act of Defiance - get it!?!) on a union flag background. This has now been modified and has been put on T-shirts etc (Picture will be shown soon). Being Mods since the late 70..s Defiance has always been true to it..s Mod roots unlike other clubs. Crawley had Crawley Scooter Club (formely The Roadhogs) but they quickly lost there Mods roots and turned into what was called Scooter Boys. Those who held onto the Mod identity joined "The Last Great Act Of Defiance Scooter Club". Members came from Crawley, Copthorne, East Grintead, Crawley down, Reigate, Redhill, Horsham, Horley and the surrounding areas. Defiance Scooter Club gave true Mods the chance to be in a Mod scooter club and be Mods instead of looking like scruffy herberts. Defiance members sprayed their helmets in agate red and gold had DSC in gold on the back in old English letters and had their number in large yellow on one side. In 1983 when we went to the Isle of White Scooter run we were 13 but this total increased weekly, the final total was about 60+. This total was alot more with our birds, mates and hangarounds. Attending Mod gigs, Alldayers, Allnighters, rallies, clubs and anything else of interest we soon got a reputation (nothing to do with the studded belts of course). We kept things going as long as possible but as always all good things come to an end. This was..nt to be as the last couple of years "The Last Great Act Of Defiance Scooter Club" is slowly rising out of the ashes of time. Various members are now getting or have got scooters back on the road and we seem to be meeting more and more with the famous Defiance patch now put on Polo shirts etc. It..s now been a quarter of a century and yes, we are still laughing. WERE WE RIDE OTHERS HIDE..... (More will follow in time).....
