I was born in the 1960's and have always felt it was the best era to be born in for many reasons. By far the best in biking history with 250 learner law (just for me), being able to insure big bikes at 17 - I've seen the whole development of modern bikes with major jumps in tech and desirability. Many other reasons too, like growing up without mobile phones, e-type jags, the insurgence of rock music, seeing the techie world grow and develop from the Atari onwards, the emergence of the space age and the age of discoveries like at no other time. Don't think such an exciting period with so much change will quite ever happen again to such an extent. Your views...
well you nearly right,, if you had been born in the 50s then you would have been old enough to enjoy the 60s which were undoubtedly the golden era ,, mmm , from what I can remember ..
In the 1960s, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap had a big hit with "Young Girl - get outta my life". I bet quite a few celebrities and dj's wished that they too had followed that advice
Or we could try "Worst Century to be Born in". I nominate the Fourteenth Century - the Hundred Years' War, the Black Death, serfdom, being burned at the stake for heresy, no printing, no Renaissance, no Reformation, ...
The 80's were fab: turbo charged Z1's with single piston callipers and skinny forks, with a 120 rear tyre - what's not to like?
I was born in the 60's and allowed me to savour the delights of the 80's in my prime. Best music ever done, girls, all slim with crazy haircuts and dancing which was superb. I loved and long for the 80's again!!!! Ha! It will never happen. Happy days.:Kiss::Kiss::Kiss:
I was born on the 70s, mid 70s but have to agree looking back the music of the 80s was great. Pity I was still in short pants and unable to enjoy it at the time!.
Born in 69 and loved the eighties. As exige says z1 turbos GPz's then the first gsxr , always used to love the free give away magazine with PB full of mental bikes, readers specials best era for bikes.
