Malt 379 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Knight rider, airwolf, street hawk, The Fall Guy, The A Team, M.A.S.H.. RIP TV shows for straight blokes.. Malt you missed out The Dukes Of Hazad .... straight guys loved it ..... Daisy Duke had something to do with that i think . Mongoose bikes where also the craze ! How could I forget the dukes of hazard? Super gran, he-man, teenage mutant ninja turtles, thunder cats, the cartoon mask about the cars and bikes that flew and shit, oh and transformers the cartoon. ..and Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors!

paulus 26 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Back of your jeans full of holes from battery acid, ledgering with a swing tip, Was talking about that only the other day, never see one nowadays. Wicker fishing baskets. Or fishing reels like this lol is that a boyo or intrepid The Boyo was more square IIRC. My first "Kit" came with one. "The White Whale" from me Mam's club book. My brother and me got one each. Solid fibreglass, heavy as fook. Plastic blue handle. We used to catch the bus to Clifton bridge and fish on the gravel bank near where Fairham brook runs in. Chuck out a ledger, reel in 5 minutes later with a Gudgeon on and think we were Ivan Marks. :laugh: i was rooting through the shed the other day and found my old diawa matchman ledger rod and a couple of swing tips Quote Link to post Share on other sites
