Can you imagine

I can easily describe myownself as to motorcycles:

Should've, Would've and Did.

Yes series D a bit uglier but the seat was not connected to the canter-lever making them a bit more comfortable to ride. But I sold it to finance some property, instead I should have gotten a loan and kept it.

Aside from your bike, you cut a dashing figure too if I may say so.

I found some photos of myself in the 70s recently and wonder why we ever thought that flared jeans, wide collars and (worst of all) safari suits, were a good idea......

Here in 'Murcia, we called those polyester, top-stitched fashion failures Leisure Suits. Gag me and I never had one although my late father-in-law favored them as 'dress up' gear.

I once read that there was a Canadian study that proved these outfits caused cancer. Seems the scientists dressed half of the 100 study rats in little poly leisure suits. Seems more of the leisure suited rodents contracted cancer than those rats that ran around nekkid. Weird science.

Responsible for other atrocities too. First "adult' computer game ?i ever played was "Leisure Suit Larry" (closely followed by "Leather Goddesses of Phobos - after which there was no going back it was Frank Zappa's "Joe's Garage" all the way after that!).

Tiz true the 70's had much to answer for. As fashion goes i was fairly mild. I had a collection of weird bikes back then but little ability to restore them.

I knew of an old chap that had two Lavada Jota's in a shed with a leaky roof.

They hadn't run or moved for years, he wouldn't sell them, then he died and his family sold the the whole property off for what they thought was a great price.

The new owner gleefully sold the 2 Jota's for a small fortune...

Definitely the decade that fashion forgot, BUT, the 70's produced the best music and nothing since comes close!

+1 for Tony...............Although I am a product of the 50"s , the 70's were great for music!
