Ton-up boy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ton-up boys were the natural successors to Teddy-boys, in attitude, language and values. Only their uniform was changed. Instead of mock-Edwardiana, they took their style from Marlon Brando's film "The Wild Ones", and from the Hell's Angels who lay behind it, and high black boots. They rode on motorbikes and traveled in packs, and lived off of greasy eggs and chips, and hung out in transport cafes, and still worshiped idols such as Elvis Presley.
