80s nostalgia

[kandr]

Working in 3 continents, going to New York, 80s rates, Springsteen when he was young, living in Silicon Valley with all its tech buzz, drinking champagne and snort.. I mean experiencing life to the full, spending 3 months in Rio, ... I guess my 80s was different from yours.

Now your posting on an web forum, what a comedown.

Nah nostalgia isn't what it used to be

Oh, that it should come to this.

How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable,
Seem to me all the uses of this world!
Fie on't! ah fie! 'tis an unweeded garden,
That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature
Possess it merely. That it should come to this!

So you moved from snort to LSD?

It's as Testmangler says; the bikes were tulipe, but the engines were incredible; screaming two stroke engines before the advent of all the environmental legislation; they stank, made a bloody racket and possibly melted a few glaciers, but my god they were fun.

Mine was the opposite - Benelli 250 2c no power but great handling and crap electrics

Trying to kill yourself on a BMX.

My brother gave a good outing and beat the rest of us with 4 days in hospital.

So Hamlet was big in the 80's, I do remember there were a lot of ads for his cigars on the telly.

Indeed the Busa feels really planted and safe, even in the wet.
I'm glad I didn't get into bikes that early - I would have probably killed myself given the shennanigans I got up to in my 20s. From the sound of it bikes had improved by then.

Bull sh!t.
