80s nostalgia

[Mich the Tester]

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.

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.

What was all that hazardous about stamp-collecting and flower-arranging then sas?

Good music, bats for the other side;

- Spending your pocket money on the latest Smiths album from Our Price
- Trying to avoid the football hooligan violence after a match at Watford
- Saving up for the latest home computer/games/accessories
- Not being able to wait for school to end so you could finish your program in BASIC combined with Commodore's PEEK and POKE semi-assembler-like commands
- During the news, seeing the balloons superimposed on a map of England labelling the thousands of jobs lost in a particulat area.
- Enjoying the top 40 countdown on Sundays, before the like of Stock, Aitken and Waterman and Simon Cowell commercialised pop music forever.


Any others?

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.

I mean experiencing life to the full, spending 3 months in Rio, ... I guess my 80s was different from yours since I'm an old fart and was working then

FTFY. HTH.
