Windies Wheels


There was a special love of lightweight motorcycles in 70s Jamaica, and perhaps one day I'll bother to find out why. What with the scooting about in the film The Harder They Come (1972) and this 1976 album from early toasting grandee Dillinger, there was a bit of a scene going on. The CB200 track itself has been well-overshadowed down the years by the better-known Cokane In My Brain, but if there's a better reggae-based paean to two-wheeled cool, I've not yet heard it. MP
