"It's 1985..."

   Funny you should ask...
I seem to be the point man with alot of people who settled down. made a career, had kids...la, la, la.
Now, they have the discretionary income ta buy a bike (again) and get back into it.
I've come to terms. I've never grown up and am a constant when it comes to this horrible "hobby".

So...
Yeah, 20 years later. They're back and riding.

Yikes!

   >i was likin the T5 closeup

The red bike? I think that's just a Utah flyscreen. I did a double take on that and rewound it a few times too. You'd be pretty fucking hip to have a T5 in the USA in '85, as I think that is the year they came out.

I only reminded you back when I was in my 20's. Now that I'm in my 30's you don't seem so old anymore.

   That's great! The fun of a bunch of scoots taking over the road and creating a spectacle has always been there. One of my favorite rally experiences from last summer was watching people's faces as we all toured through DC. Priceless!!

   Lately I've been feeling old and over the hill, but seeing that helped a lot - I was 8 year old when that was filmed

That really is an awesome video. Keep them coming if you have more like that.

   Heh, shut the fuck up. You young whippersnappers and your attitude. I wanted to be at that rally, but couldn't make it out there. Even had my GS and 200 Rally then.

Where's Scott Chain these days?

   Doesn't look like any 1985 I remember - where're all the big hair and shoulder pads?

Looks like fun, wish we'd had that in Memphis...

   My thoughts exactly. It was all Bon Jovi and Camaros in the 1985 I escaped from.

   California had everything back then: mods, punks, rude boys, skins, rockers/stoners (we all knew a real-life Spicoli back then), new-wavers, surfers/skaters, etc., etc. - you name it, it was here and kicking...

   What's really nice about that video/year was there's no T&G's and no helmet law !


I have dirty fingernails to prove it.

   I don't even think Malossi had products out for scooters yet. We could only dream of Piansco kits back then. And everyone pretty much had a stock pipe and carb.

   I'm pretty sure Malossi had stuff by 86. After I moved from OC to Sacto at the end of 86, Dave Sattelmayer was running a Malossi kitted P that we all drooled over.

   I have photos of some of the first scooter races in 85 at adams cart track and I remember Fabio had Malossi stuff on his vespa super shop scoots. I remember Polini kits as early as 83 on
a few small frames, most notably Conrad macy/Dave andersons 90 with the 125 polini kit. Again this had to do with Fabio bringing this stuff back from family trips, etc.

But it was a bitch to find seals for my gs 160 at the time. NOS stock was found by word of mouth, what schleisser would sell you, whatever some old man would drag to Vince's shop or plowing through Hemmings Motor news.

There wasn't much big hair in the scooter set, save a few short term girlfriends, or goth/New Ro girls who would hang out.

I do remember a few clowns selling their scoots after 8-9 mos 'cause they were going new-ro (the goth of the time) to fund their wardrobe change. Good times. good times.

Craw-mods!

   How fun! the only Scooterville I remember was this one on Topanga Canyon that had this rotating scooter on top, near that Fazes (sp) club, but I believe was closed down by '85? Cool video!

So I guess, 1995 is next...
