I can't work out how much you know about Mods in view if your claim of being too young.;)
Never heard of the Torch. We used to go to the Twisted Wheel, Oasis when looking for girls not trouble, Cavern and Heaven and Hell.
Went down to London and so never went to Wigan but it was famous along with Northern Soul down there
Oh another pick up place Brown's in Levvy, plus Queens of Hearts on Withington. Quite a little raver when l think back.
Fuck me, I am getting old, it was the Twisted Wheel, I need to think before I type. Mind you I've spent years opening my gob before I thinked. :-)
Re being too young etc. The first mods were around in the sixties, then they had a rebirth in the 70's. I was around for the 70's lot. I had the fashion, 15-16 yr old, but no money for a scooter.
 
Tonex was the trade name I think.
Then there were the 'tank top' jumpers and Crombies.
Star Jumpers, Barrathea Blazers, Harrington Jackets, Football jumpers, hooped socks, Platform Shoes, the clobber of my early teens, had a Crombie with a velvet collar and the CB badge (Crombie Boy).

Edit, Ben Sherman shirts and silk handkerchief in the Crombie top pocket.
 
Tories should give them an independence referendum. The result wouldn't be controversial. #Scousexit
“Dipperville is the biggest village in the World”

It’s not short of idiots that’s for sure.

They really believe the shit that’s fed to them.

You‘ve done we’ll mate.
I wish I’d had the foresight to keep every one that I had as a kid.
At various times I had an SX200 with full chrome regalia / front and rear racks / screen & mirrors + side chrome rails etc., an LI150 which was sweet & neat and a GP200 bored out to iirc 238, fully ported and with a big Amal carb (sod to kick start but, when fired up, way too fast for the idiot riding it combined with it’s breaking ability).
They‘d be worth a fortune nowadays but if I did have them I don’t recon I’d sell them unless starving.
