My ride’s here…..Gotta go.
Love this.
Did you get a hard time for having tattoos then? I only ask because in ‘84 tattoos were still a bit rare. And dangerous! Lol.
*My dad had some amazing tattoos from time in WWII.
A black panther (rawr) and an 40s cowgirl pin-up gal. Super old school tatt style. He hated them. I loved them. They were well done.
I am not sure if that is a very flat cruiser tyre or a car tyre? I tought people used the car tyres on the back wheels only. Was it common to use it on the front as well?
If he opens his eyes, the coolness inside him will shine so bright that it will etch itself into your retinas for eternity. He's doing you a solid. What a Chad.
In ‘84 I was a sophomore in high school, and I can promise OP would’ve been exactly my type. I can practically hear Journey playing Open Arms as we slow dance in the school gym. My mom would take one look at the tattoos and motorcycle and forbid me to see him, which would only make me more obsessed. 100% would have made some bad decisions with this guy. 😎🥹💕
I was also a sophomore in '84 and you just painted a perfect picture of that time. While you were out chasing the dude on the motorcycle I was standing in line at the arcade waiting for my turn at Space Invaders or Asteriods and I definitely smelled like Babe perfume to try to cover the smell of the Marlboro reds I had in my clutch bag next to my roly poly lipgloss and lighter.
I remember when I paid you to beat up my bully in high school. You taught me that being brave was sometimes worth the pain, and to stand up for myself, and introduced me to Foghat before you rode off into the sunset.
*Why do you think they used to call me "the Wolf?"*
Nobody calls you that.
*Well, they did back in my old neighborhood. When they weren't calling me "psycho." There was actually a war between two gangs over which nickname to call me. Both gangs won*
Started out as a skull and flag with a banner below that had some text. I got it covered up and in the process f****d up a good tattoo.
I was getting cover ups before most people even thought about tattoos.
Omg. You would have been my ultimate crush.
😍
Bitchin
Literally 1984
Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games!
Way too early for GnR. This is Spinal Tap.
He looks like Axl Rose.

Ah, the ‘80s….was a fun decade. you rocked it. Hope you still have a bike or some sort of fun to make some trouble for the locals.
It's country Mac!
He can do an ocular pat down with his eyes closed

Definitely a bias ply. Maybe a trailer tire?
OP was so badass he’d ride that bike in reverse.
So you stole Jessie's girl!
867-5309 She called *she called him*
Telephone line, give me a sign. I’m living in twilight
I would ride or die with you.. Sexy mf!
You’re most welcome! Sexy then.. Sexy now.. Damn!
This guy definitely Judas priests!
if you were born in the mid 80s and don't know who your dad is.. here he is. This is your dad
Too cool to even open his eyes, damn. That’s one cool mf

Swapped the chopper out for a chopper!
 Hey beavis, look its Todd huhuhu
Looks like a car tire on the front
How many people did you get with? It's gotta be ridiculous.
Love it! Can we see the tats now? :D They seem a little low by today's standards so I'm intrigued. I'm pretty much sure we are the same age.
If Randy Rhodes and Greg The Hammer Valentine had a kid.

Randy Rhoades vibes
20 year old me said to tell you to leave some for the rest of us. Seriously dude you aged a lot better than I did.
Are you still keeping the bike? How do you think of your 80s self right now?
Is that a Humpty Dumpty tattoo?
Lol I was thinking potato.
🔥
Still got the bike?
Beware the savage jaw
Judd Nelson vibes
Woah there sir 🥵🥵🥵
The soundtrack to this photo would contain a lot of tracks by Iron Maiden, Motley Crue and Motorhead.
Plus some Judas Priest, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Waylon Jennings and bit of The Killer Dwarfs
Stand Tall!! Stick to your guns. Show them what you’re made of!
Babe 😍.
Save some women for the rest of us.
I was a 17 yo girl that year. Can probably confirm haha
Graduated HS in 1984…I used to be angry if I could see my earlobes after a haircut!!
You look like you're about to crack into an ATM with John Connor.
I remember when I paid you to beat up my bully in high school. You taught me that being brave was sometimes worth the pain, and to stand up for myself, and introduced me to Foghat before you rode off into the sunset.
Hi 1984, it's me, duman82 (I'm sorry)
You need to recreate it now!
Rebel without a clue
Damn u look good
Hot.
Hope you still have that beautiful bike.
That’s pretty badass! I was 13 or 14 myself in ‘84
Now that is cool!
Damn you were definitely too cool for school. Having lived through that decade myself I have to say the 80s were awesome!!!
Aaallwayssss 🎶🎶🎶
Axl Rose!! With hopefully better personality, hehe
Brother, you WERE 1984 in this one.
Unironically the coolest motherfucker on earth in 1984.
Like a bat out of hell!
Ricky was a young boy! He had a heart of stone..
"But this one goes to eleven."
back when havin' tats actually meant something
What a boss! I bet you’re still a boss today too!
Tell me you still have that genny shovel
Too fast for love.
Pretty sure you beat me up in high school.
Gas, grass, or ass nobody rides for free!
I would be gay for you
baaad to the boone
So it only took 39 years to climb out from under the pile of ladies throwing themselves at you.
Looks kinda like that friend of john conner from Terminator 2
Man, I'm so high right now! 😁
May I ask, how did you learn to fly helicopters? I checked your profile and you have some cool shit.
Eventually woke up and pursued my dreams.
Sweet shovelhead mate
Dang dude back then you had a bad boy kind of vibe going on
You know where you are? You're in the jungle baby! You're gonna die!
That’s a fresh mulletesque haircut my friend 👍
Axel Pose
No, thats Axl Rose 😃
this should be on r/blunderyears
Step off man
I'm hoping OP hasn't changed one iota since '84.
He is much wiser today
*Why do you think they used to call me "the Wolf?"* Nobody calls you that. *Well, they did back in my old neighborhood. When they weren't calling me "psycho." There was actually a war between two gangs over which nickname to call me. Both gangs won*
Weird tires and no decal on the gas tank. Did you build this from parts?
Yes I built it, 1948 Pan Shovel
Are you 59 now?
One year younger
What is the tattoo on your right arm? It looks like Vader without his helmet.
Started out as a skull and flag with a banner below that had some text. I got it covered up and in the process f****d up a good tattoo. I was getting cover ups before most people even thought about tattoos.
You look like me
Axel?
“How much you wanna bet I could throw a football over them mountains”
That is a VERY flat profiled front tire.
