Are we at the end of the era for motorcycling?

I can't remember the price of fuel - but I can remember it was 75 cents for a bottle of port,and $2 a flagon.I only drank other peoples beer,so the price of beer was of no importance.

$1:96 for 1/2doz Bavarian Bitter back then.
Real bottles, not boys stubbies like yoof of today drink from.

BTW: I don't buy stubbies if at all possible, beer gets warm too quick and I get a stitch walking to and from the fridge every five minutes for another one.

The Best Years Of Our Lives - Richard Clapton 1989

Oh! Michael, all the lines are down, it's Australia Day again,
Everytime the wheel slows down, I think of all my friends,
Whatever happened to the days way back (when) the Bondi Lifesaver
was always raging,
I'm standing here in Oxford Street, and the ghosts are howlin'
and geez it's raining --
CHORUS;
I said: "don't waste time. these are the best years of our lives,"
I said: "don't waste time, these are the best years of our lives."
I wish I had been around when the Bondi Icebergs reigned
Sometimes I sit and think of it, and I dream of better days,
Whatever happened to the days way back, in the nineteen thirties
All those endless parties,
I'm still too young to understand, how it was back then
When the party ends
CHORUS;
I said: "don't waste time. these are the best years of our lives,"
I said: "don't waste time, these are the best years of our lives."
They say the circle turns around, there'll be better days,
And I don't mind waiting
I wish time had stopped ten years ago,
But I'm learning slowly, life is always changing.
CHORUS;
I said: "don't waste time. these are the best years of our lives,"
I said: "don't waste time, these are the best years of our lives."
I got a letter from Doctor Pepper, ten thousand words to the page,
He was talking about Gurdjieff, and I dozed off about half way,
Whatever happened to the days way back, when the world was safe
And it seemed worth saving,
We search for leaders on our hands and knees
But don't ask David, 'cos he's still crazy!
CHORUS;
I said: "don't waste time. these are the best years of our lives,"
I said: "don't waste time, these are the best years of our lives."
