30 years ago

I was shagging around Sydney, about to pick up a brand new XS1100 and listening to this non-stop.

there were good bits of the 70s. It wasn't all ABBA.
I remember the date because I was disappointed I didn't get it on the 29th. Rego would have been way cheaper.

Great old song,never had an 1100 but theres an XS750 in the garage awaiting a lotto win for me to turn its fortunes around.

I had two of them - with a Bonneville in between.

Stop ityour making me want to head up to the spare room filled with hundreds of old bike mags to bury my head in the past.

!978? The rot was starting to set in musically - the new school were trying to pull down the world of the Old Masters (Deep Purple,Led Zeppelin,The Who).Looking back we can see who won in the end.Blondie was the pick of the new bunch.

I think I finally moved out of my mother's house,had to spread my stuff around several mates places because she said when you leave,take all your crap with you.It was another 10 years before I cleaned all my stuff out of her place.Two completely different bikes to ride daily - the Rickman which was like riding a chainsaw,lots of revs and bucking and kicking....and the BSA M20,13hp of slow sidevalve fun.

Noel Coward was a charmer.
As a writer he was drama.
Velvet, jackets and pyjamas,
The gay divorce and other dramas.

There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.

Van Gough did some eyeball pleasers.
He must have been a pencil squeezer.
He didn't do the Mona Lisa,
That was an Italian geezer.

There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.

Einstein can't be classed as witless.
He claimed atoms were the littlest.
When you did a bit of splittemness,
Frighten everybody shitless.

There ain't half been some clever bastards.
Probably got help from their mum
(who had help from her mum).
There ain't half been some clever bastards.
Now that we've had some,
let's hope that there's lots more to come.

There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.

Keith Moon died. That was the end of The Who. And they had just relesased "Who are you".

I was listening to Boston, Thin Lizzy, Scorpions. And does anyone remember Kraftwerk? here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHEoM...eature=related they were soo much before their time.

I had a Bonny and was dreaming about my first Harley, reading American custom magazines. And wanted a red metal flake paintjob... Never managed to get one (flake paint job that is).
