I actually had page 903, Items A&B also 931 A.

I was 8 at the time and Lego mad.

I can't see any Star Wars stuff, which I had a load of. I had some He-Man stuff too, but that 85/86 stuff was a bit newer than I had.

I was 18, I wanted an RG500 and Patsy Kensit, I suspect I got pissed in the pub and definitely went home alone.

Page 522 and 523, motorcycle clothing - this was before women rode bikes.

1985 motorcycle clothing was jeans and a leather jacket, no matter what your gender.

LC performance/aftermarket parts, almost certainly...

<edit> and as I'd not long moved into the first house I'd bought - lots of DIY tools and accessories.

If you'd joined a band and waited, Patsy Kensit would have got round to you eventually. :D
