Tango Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 Well, I've not been on recently because I was sans bike.......but that situation has been remedied at last......just need the travel restrictions lifted here and I can get out and put some kM's on it. Bit of a reduction in power from my previous steed, but I think that I can live with that.... 9 Quote

I retired 4 years early........just had enough of it and found that the private pensions I've got would give me enough to live on as we'd paid off the mortgage. Mandy is still going to work for a bit longer, so the new bike will come in handy and I'll get myself a project bike too at some point. Early retirement is worth looking into, Neil. 1 Quote
