Keeping up with the times
« on: November 28, 2014, 05:13:41 pm »
G'day Viewers just wondering how everyone does it ? New cars bikes even houses to me I like old character looking things I can't even get my head around my mobile phone. Am I stuck in the past ?
I'm not talking about cost I'm talking about the look & feel of these things & I suppose the technology as well. Jimson

I'm stuck in the past but not so much that I don't use the Internet for chasing up bike stuff and my mobile for keeping up to date on what's going on on here.J

Jimson,I'm with you. I don't try to keep up with the times. Hey remember the "old"mobile phones,the brick? I've never ridden a "modern"bike,still on 40 plus year old bikes. At least old stuff wasn't upgraded and obsolete on a yearly basis. Having said that I reckon my 8 year old computer is good.Enables me to find any "old stuff" I'm wanting. John 25-35,I can't remember that far back(LOL).

I can remember when I was young you would see a HR going down the road with a v8 installed & think it was cool. Now days kids put a cannon exhaust on there car so the thing gurgles & farts & they think it's cool. Or you see a bling ute that's never done a days work in it's life. Jimson

Remember when people bought 4WDs because they used them off road?
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Remember when people towed horse trailers and caravans with RWD sedans because they could. J

remember when people

- bought bikes and didn't change the graphics so you knew what brand it was
- didn't have multiple wierdo piercings at MX races
- spent money on suspension instead of crappy black or purple colored rims and non performance bling parts
- changed lanes AFTER using the indicator
- gave way to you because it was a nice thing to do when trying to merge into grid locked traffic

oh and remember when Vic Ambo's never used to write graffiti on their vehicles  ;)

In 1983 my KX had a black seat, I had it reupholstered in blue coz coloured seats were all the rage.
My current modern bike had a red seat, I had it reupholstered in black gripper material coz black seats are all the rage now.

Full circle ;)

Top of the line new cars come with chrome or fake chrome mirrors & door handles nowadays & the poverty pack comes with body coloured jobs,remember when it was the exact opposite.

Full circle ;)

More power to ya Jimson :)

For a while I worked as a storeman for the Good guys customers would buy big ass TV's & want to take them home in there big ass 4WD's & didn't realise the seats would fold down in them. So much credit & no brains. Jimson
