You know your formative years were in the '80s when...

[HOGEPH]

Just watching TOTP 1986, I realised those years formed me when,

On the "Take My Breath Away" Top Gun video, I could say "That's a GPz 900 he's riding"

On the following video, ""Holding back the years", I could say, "That's a Steinberger bass"

I recognised white socks and rolled up jacket sleeves as defining fashion statements.


Suddenly I feel very old.....

You know you're getting old when you know that 'GPz' denotes an air cooled bike and 'GPZ' a liquid cooled one, the 900 being the latter

Nah

The first Japanese bike where they got everything right, more or less, IMHO, etc.

I guess that dates me.

Such observations mark you out as being a bike nerd, not old.

...You think the Zang Tuum Tumb crew absolutely nailed it in the music producing business,

and songs by Art of Noise, Propaganda and Frankie goes to Hollywood still sound awesome.
