ride your bicycle without a helmet.
everyone riding bicycles during the 70's oil embargo. back pedal brakes and chain guards. (or a skirt guard for the lady) leave your bike outside the shops unlocked. leave your car outside the shops unlocked with all the windows down. quarter windows.

Remember when bicycles came with T-bar shifters on the top tube.

I know than when I turned 15 there was over 200 diecast cars, although we played with them most still had their boxes as well. Then kiwi grandkids came along and their grandmother thought it was nice for the littleies to play with them. Bang crash went any value

Still got many of my childhood Matchbox cars too, but how about a shout out to the Remember when there were grandpas quite happy to knock up a wooden service station in their shed for us to use with our Matchbox cars.

easily work on your own car.
build a car outside. build a car without a hoist. spray paint a car outside without fear of neighbourhood Karen's. use Tramp rods. tow your own car without authorities looking over your shoulder. enjoy polishing a chrome bumpers. build a boat on the mooring. careen a boat without a slipway.

Go fishing unlicensed.
Refer to your teachers as "Mrs ..." or "Miss ..." Recite the childrens oath and sing the national anthem. Find a discarded porno in the bushes. Repair a flat bike tyre. Build a cubby house. Hide porno in the cubby house. |

I honour my god, I serve my queen, I salute the flag? Marty might be referring to something else, but we used to recite that in infants/primary school in the late sixties. I think it was called “the pledge”.
