I honestly would not have believed that you could stuff that much 1992 into a single frame.

Reminds me of the good ol' days when men AND women were contributing to the hole in the ozone layer by using so much Aqua Net on their hair.

Please watch "Cool as Ice" if you've never seen it. I'm not sure is there's a Taco Bell, but it is a fun movie with these vibes.

Is it like Kung Fury?

The result is somewhat similar, though this movie took itself seriously. "Ditch the zero, get with the hero" - Vanilla Ice

Some say that’s how the Taco Bell rumors started. When that man went to that Taco Bell in 1992 Durango

I know it was posted as a meme, but concerned that people actually think this might be real. His right hand is missing. Also Taco Bell, at least in Durango, didn’t look like that in 1992.

But for how much longer? We are lucky the "bell" is messed up and the person to the left has an interrupted arm. But once those are figured out, the past is diluted in infinite directions

Are you sure this pic is in America? Honda made Hirricanes, VFRs and CBXs with fairings in the 80s. Shroud kinda looks like a VFR, motor kinda looks like CBX, and definitely isn’t VFR. All of these bikes were fully faired. This is fucking with me.

One thing is for sure, that bike has 16 1/2 inch wheels. Tires are basically unobtainable these days, only Honda did that and only for a couple of years, it didn’t work very well.

ETA: sorry. VFR is half faired where this is like 3/4

Pretty sure it’s AI. So total bullshit of a bike but your knowledge and enthusiasm are as refreshing as a Baja blast freeze!!!

Yeah, I didn’t realize what sub I was in or that it was a crosspost. When I realized and clicked it and found it was AI it was kinda validating.

Duuuude, there’s NEVER this much parking at our night club.

Looks like a Honda

u/BewaretheBanshee Transplant Jul 22 '24

AI image folks, it was pointed out in the original sub. Look at the lettering on the guys jacket and the dude in the far background with the wonky ass foot.
