Always wanted a Johnny seven gun but we could never afford toys like that. (had to use a stick )

A pint of draught Sasparrila at the side of Abbeydale pictures Sheffield. (thought we looked big with a pint in our hand).
they also sold rubber johnnies no one had the bottle to ask for them or to be honest the need for them

Oxford bags with 3 belt waist band (if only could find my waist now )
Velvet Jackets that with the lights in Nightclubs looked like you were covered in dandruff.

PERMED hair yes I admit it

...and the best thing is you never forget or get mixed up, started on a RH change but hadn't rode one for over 30 years when I took a test ride on a T150 Trident a year or so back and didn't even have to think about it, didn't have any problem at all, just seemed natural somehow.
