- Ride it like u stole it
Now I feel worse, I suppose the only blessing is that I like my work and its normal hours so I don't lose sleep at night (apart from when I need to travel for work). But there are times I would like to just stay in bed when I feel like it or better still ride when I feel like to where-ever I want.stokes wrote: No,actually it was 49 for me,11 yrs ago.
First Permanent ride the Z1R since Dec1977 (220,000km) as of June 2015

Crap, do people in the US retire at 50????. Here in Oz for me its 66, I'm flat out designing a zimmer frame with Z1R main stand. I've decided to go all out and add LED lights.

I'll be 55 when I retire with a full pension. Not a bad deal after 30 plus years but I will be glad to get out of my corporate gig and do something interesting for a change.Bozo wrote: Crap, do people in the US retire at 50????. Here in Oz for me its 66,

I live near Portland, Oregon and my rider is a '76 KZ900 I bought new. I'm also in the process of restoring another one and a '73 Z1.
