1969

[Drew]

Was only 3 and dont remember fuck all about it.

Fuck, I was -19. But the cool shit, seems to be cool to me none the less.

[Big Dave]

Seriously! How can anyone, especially so called Kiwibikers, reflect on 1969 and not come up with Easy Rider first?

Lots of things from then I like a lot better.

I think you misunderstand.

I'm 35. In 1969 I was minus 9. Although that's not as good as minus 19 like my dimwittedness had me at earlier.

That's 'cos you're a young punk that just doesn't get it!


You lot expect two-seconds on each scene max.

'69? -listening to the moon landing on a smuggled-in transistor radio at high-school.

A possibility for sure. Or, the movie just wasn't that good and you old coonts are too old to know better.

'Good' is relevant - for its day it was.

(You'll never say that about The Fast and the Furious etc).

'69? Mrs Scummie just started high school and I hadn't met her for another three years.
'69? The Monaros looked cool...and petrol was 36 cents a gallon for regular.

Carry on Camping was at the Odeon.

I can think of a few good early seventies movies.

But we are spoilt for what computers can make real these days, and it gets used to make up for serious shortfalls in plot and cinematography.

I don't think anyone will ever consider Fast and Furious a classic.

I was 4. A big red trike was the coolest thing in my life.

Was it a Honda? Those fucken deathtraps were AWESOME!

Oh, four, probably not then.

My last year of college. Got my first bike - a Royal Enfield 250. Hid it in the shed for about a week before parents found it, made me take it back. Had to wait until I was working, the following year before getting a bike I could ride, '53 Matchless G9. Like every other bike I've had, wish I'd have kept it.

Nah - but I know the ones you mean - I rode one on the beach when I was 12 or so and in find fashion a sharp turn with too much speed threw me off the ride! The 3 wheelers got banned in the USA and became 4!

I was standing in line with 400 million of my comrades.
