I think it's Mongeese. Yes the 80's ruled!

Hands down, these kids think they have it all with cell phones.
I wish WE had cell phones, it was like Nytro Circus every weekend....

Not me. Maybe more video cameras but as I recall, not a lot of people could afford those back then. I think cell phones would have ruined all the fun I had in the 70s and 80s for different reasons

Back then, we climbed into a buddy's rust-addled '73 Nova that had fence post exhaust tubing and C.O.A.T. hanger mounting system coupled with a total-loss lubrication system and drove 150 miles to Kings Island for fun..... No safety net. No calling or texting Mommy or Daddy. No GPS or Google maps. You rang a doorbell, flagged down a passing motorist, or you straight up walked somewhere, Cro-magnon style. Yeah we had AAA, but you need to find a phone to call them so taking road trips was much more adventurous (especially on a junky motorcycle) in those days with higher risk involved or at least a much higher chance of inconvenience.

Back when you had to read a map or ask a live person for directions....a lost skill today

All this technology and convenience makes me feel like a badass

Fishing pole and a 22 were my favorite toys in the 80’s.
I went up the same river yesterday my brother’s and I mostly live at then.

River road was perfect for learning to drive ‘64 Chevy p/u. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190429/b0ed52125b64fa0f68d4c1c3c4685425.jpg

Bought this pair over 20 yrs ago. Hide the bike and float down to it-ride back up-loads of fun!

Hell yeah it was!!! My butt draws up thinking of the dumb stuff I managed to pull off on my junk back in the 80's. A 84 ATC110 can do more than one might think with a 70 pound rider. Then I graduated to a '79 PE 250. It's a wonder I can type this.

In 80s Honda still had its balls, making 3-wheelers, quads, pilots, etc. Ever since then they've become conservative in motor sports, except for motocross bikes.

When we got old enough to ride mini bikes and what not, we would hook the Big Wheel up to it with a rope and pull each other around. Those poor old plastic wheels flat spotted a lot..

Maybe.....but after about 73 things got nasty. Cars were anemic and hideous, shag carpet....I grew up with green & gold shag and lost many small gijoe accessories that were later found by the Kirby. You know the Kirby....giant 500 pound loud azz machine that would pull vacuum equal to outer space. We even had ‘The Rake’ on the front. Lol!
......and every stitch of clothing from that era should be incinerated like a nazi book party. Ugh!!!

I’m old enough to have attended a Kirby job ‘interview’ :lol:

The 80’s rocked, but they would have been more fun with a little more disposable income. $4.00 Canadian bucks an hour ($3.20usd) didn’t buy a lot of toys even back then. I couldn’t afford my 80’s toys till the 90’’s came around.

I'm just glad i was born in time to know what it was like to really be a kid.

We were still throwing rocks in the 90s...

You heard video killed the radio star? Well.........

Internet/phones/social media killed the majik of childhood. ....and I firmly believe that.
