Retirement or NOT?

[06BUSA]

How the bloody hell do you retire at 37 Rod? I'm 39 and the future looks bleak (but then, I s'pose you've gotta find a way to fill in the days after retirement)

work up to 20hr a day seven days a week even xmas day some(most) years

Good on ya Rod! 20 hrs a day! SH$T! I'm tired just thinking about it! Lol

Good onya Rod. I had my 1st stint at retirement from the Defence Force at 42. Lasted 4 or 5 months, then worked another 8yrs - redundancy #1, 2months off, and this last stint was 5yrs for redundancy #2. I think I will do casual work till I'm 60 but just to fill in time between rides. lol.
I hope to improve on the customer service levels at the store guys, if I can't raise the bar, I'll leave.

Yeh thanks Ray it has made me think about Going down to local bike shops Just for Sat work

Congrats on the retirement and the new job Ray...

Well done Ray, you've gone about it the right way. I started off in the bike trade before getting a real job. If I'd gotten a real job first I wouldn't need to be in this position where I'll be working until I'm 75.

Thanks Loafie, Camel and others. The first day was a real breeze and went fast. Never a dull moment on a Saturday morning that's for sure.
We have our first 2012 busa going out the door on Wednesday this week. A black one.
(I don't sell the bikes, just accessories)

Street Triple R is awesome town bike DAD. I could easily sit on it 8 hrs a day.
Haven't tried any intercity stuff yet.
It gives nothing away up to 200kph and after that, I don't care!

I am also retired, not by choice, but retired.

Are you still riding a Hayabusa Gruntmax? Retirement is one thing, staying the course on your Busa is fantastic.

Yes. Had to have a Pingel Easy Shifter fitted due to the 2 x DWD inflicted fractured upper vertabrae. I'm on my 2nd one now as they seem to blow up @ 50,000 klms. It is actually less painful to ride my Busa than to drive the uterous.
This year, I did not renew my CTP Green Slip Award Defaulting QBE Insurance Ltd CTP Policy on my Uterous as CTP Green Slip Award Defaulting QBE Insurance Ltd wanted an extra $300 more than GIO.
I've been living on a real tight budget for the past 5 years now, never been on Centrelink, although I'm eligable, although, If I was, it would've given CTP Green Slip Award Defaulting QBE Insurance Ltd an extra 6 weeks to default, which they did anyway.
Always ride with a full set of race leathers & a Shoei full face
