Tonight was perfect Winters night, 15c, 19 k ride home but made it 30 odd. New hat, new jacket, one running amazing 14. Guess im getting towards the end of my working days, sadly. Riding days hope will go forever. Tonight was a great reminder of all my perfect riding times. Touched 160 coming home, that was blood pressure btw. So bloody enjoyable. 14 just looked at me when home, lets go again. Amazing machines.
Yeah, it's amazing how the wee squirt of high blood pressure gets the senses wired & the happy centre pumping again. The doc with the flashy lights really buggers it though.
That top gear roll on is just great, hitting 130 - 140 (BP) in seconds, or chop down & hit it even quicker. Just bloody great machine.

No way
@grog since I retired, I've ridden a heck of a lot more, after all, you can pick your days and times to ride, roads your own. Toured more places too. I've enjoyed bikes more since I've retired then ever before. Look on it as an opportunity buddy.
Hear hear Barmy!
Retirement is wasted on the old!
Always enjoy throwing a leg over the bike. Does improve ones own perception of our age.
Track days make one feel even younger.... time l did another :onya:

You young whippersnappers of today would say that :rofl3: :rofl3:
Yeah, id retire if i could even though i like my job. I keep working to keep my wife in her happy retired mode. She enjoys it, i guess mainly because im not here to annoy her. 😎
I'm missing my 1400 now with all the hot summer and blue skies. The Bandit is still in the Man Cave so not all is lost.
I pop on here every day still to keep up with what's occuring in the happy world of GSX1400's and their owners. You won't get rid of me that easily :rofl2:
Retirement ain't cheap, I spend more money on petrol and tyres now than I did when I worked, it's hell.
I spend more on coffee than beer since being retired !! :bugga:
Our biggest expenditure now both of us are retired - I left nearly four years ago is food and drink. We are forever stopping off at biker cafes or anywhere else for that matter. :whistling:
