of course the seventies were a bit wild just before all the record labels became freer and anyone could start their own label. before that it was all the big ones had the music industry all tied up and
the number 1984 still meant something where as now we living in it lmao

Well !!!!!! in 1971 i had my first legal road bike a BSA C 15 that was truly what you said kwak bouncy thats why the bsa got labled ( bloody sore a*se )

My bike of the 70's? The Chipper... a little version of the Chopper lol.
What about The Tomorrow People, Mary Mungo and Midge, and The Flumps?
The Six Million Dollar Man toys. We were poor and I never got them but I always hoped. I did get a second hand Evil Kneivel tho. Remember them? Wind em up and let em go. Never as good as the advert showed but what is?
Graham the bouncy bit was about the space hoppers not my Bantam.
