Rippin' Thru Time: 10 Instances of ATVs in 1980s Pop Culture
Rev up your engines as we take a trip down memory lane, back to when ATVs first roared onto the scene in pop culture. While the 1980s were the golden years for all-terrain vehicles in movies, TV shows, and music videos, it was James Bond who really got the wheels rolling back in 1971.
Where Have All The ATVs Gone?
It is the 1980s and your parents have the Honda ATC90’s (ATC stood for All Terrain Cycle) all loaded up in the bed of Dad’s three-quarter ton pickup, towing the 23-foot travel trailer for another great weekend in the desert or sand dunes. You spend the weekend adjusting the air pressure on the ATVs balloon tires, finding that sweet spot allowing you some feeling of suspension travel. Every corner was a near disaster, every landing over a jump was nearly tragic, but you survived it all. And you will do it again in a few weeks.
