Inspired by this thread (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=36272.0), and my own smartass post (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=36272.msg636557#msg636557) - it led me to wonder what would the forum look like if it existed in an alternate universe, 25 years ago. Channel your 80s self and post a message. I'll start:Man, I can't
wait for my motorcycle to exist. Later guys, I am going to go headspin to some very early hip-hop.

This year is going to be soooooo gnarly! I got a new vision street ware T-shirt and some black and white checkered vans. My girl's guess jeans are looking rad and she finally stopped seeing that gayrod who wears z.cavaricci and IOU shirts all the time.
Plus I just got this:

Really? A little friendly heads up in '85 would have done me a world of good as well.
1984:
Damn, my Superglide's battery just craked open and douched my starter relay with acid. Now as I ride down the highway it's backfiring so loud it sounds like a series of IEDs going off (even though I won't know what IEDs are for about 20 years).
1985:
Yeah, BMW makes motorcycles. Actually they made bikes before they made cars.
No, it's not a six cylinder, it's a four cylinder.
No, it doesn't have a petcock. It's fuel injected.
No, really, it's fuel injected.
Well, it means there are no carburators or petcocks.
How does the gas get in? INJECTORS!
(Man, some of my Harley friends aren't too bright. I love 'em like brothers, but if some of them were light bulbs we would call them "15 watt".)
I really hate going to the orthodontist's office to get my braces adjusted.
There is a hottie that works there, though. I think she likes me!

I can't wait to graduate and get the hell out of this shithole. Wow, I kinda like that Ducati Indiana ad with the motorcycle riding up the pinstriped suit. I wonder if I'll have one when I'm 40 and people will laugh at it.
I just ripped my parachute pants. Too bad, cause they match my Loverboy concert shirt with the torn off sleeves. I can't wait to get home and ride dirt bikes. I wonder if dad will let me buy that honda street bike with the sissy bar.
My parents just bought their first Front Wheel Drive car:

i just watched this amazing movie called top gun.
i want to fly airplanes and shoot stuff!
my dad doesn't want me to join the air force, but he says it's better than getting on a boat or being fodder as a marine. he said he would take us to the flight line on base soon so we can see how real pilots fly. apparently ARMY aviation is the best.
my mom thinks i should go to college and then decide what i want to do, but i know i REALLY want to fly jet fighters.
ohh and there was a motorcycle in it! he was racing down the runway in his aviator glasses and his leather coat with the plane taking off. it was the neatest thing EVER!
neither of my parents will let me to get a motorcycle though. :'(

no, refer to the hanging out with other army brats statement from before.
while i wasn't personally involved with any shenanigans (that ic an remember) there was enough to get us in trouble and get my dad dressed down. that and they wanted to move away from all the other people. we moved from rucker to between goodman and e-prise. nearest neighbor was over 1/4 mi away, most of the side roads were still dirt.
i still have all the schematics for the kiowa and the apache. i never liked the blackhawk though.
as a kid my walls were covered with all of the drawings and pictures.

1985: Graduated high school, was riding a 1976 Yamaha XS360 and trying to keep an RD350 running. Driving a 1974 Nova SS. found beer for the first time.
