Mods on the Grid. Episode One

Well, I decided I would do a kind of Q&A thing in a kind of silly but maybe informative way too, asking about a couple of sensible things and also a few ludicrous ones as is the way with these things. I flung a few note cards out with some scribbled questions and waited to see if I would get a response. Shockingly,,,I did, so here is the first of well who knows how many snippets into the mods on the grid. 

Who better to start off with than the ace face himself, creator of the majestic Twisted Wheel, reprised several times but most revered in its original form, yes its..Mister Slate McLeod!

Slate has a had a leading role in the mod community on the grid, builder of fantastic scooters, tailor of fine mod clothing, occasional DJ and esteemed builder of the beautiful Northern England circa '65. A great supporter of all that is virtual mod, Slate is a true gent and plays a damn fine tune too..and I'm delighted he is my first mod on the grid.
