Someone posted something earlier that got me thinking of these beasties:

These were a hell of a lot of fun to ride, but they seriously injured or killed a good number of riders. This 1982 model was one the last years they were available.

I hated thee freaking things. They almost never worked properly and if you had the slightest amount of moisture on your hands, they would stick. I must have lost a yard or two of skin on those damned things, over the years.

Yup yup. As a kid, I used to bomb around on a 125m.

I always wanted a Big Red, though.

Did any of your VCRs every display anything on the front, while idle, except a blinking "12:00"? The few times I went to the trouble of setting the clock, the power would soon go out just long enough to reset the clock.

We knew a guy when I was a kid, that had one of these mounted on the dash oh his Chevy Luv pickup. I remember thinking once back then, if that truck was even capable of speeding.:crylikeender: Anyway that is one low-tech looking device. I've noticed that in the last few years, you hardly ever see a cord hanging down from a RADAR/Laser detector. It doesn't seem like it is nearly as popular a product as it once was.

Remember when everyone was wearing these padded jacket vests, back in the late seventies and eighties? Having Michael J Fox wearing one in the Back to the Future movies made them even more popular. I used to have a blue one, in 9th grade.
