The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Ha! When I was 17 I was giving it stick on my Frannie Barnet 197 AND while wearing shirt with tab collar, blue serge waistcoat, ice blue jeans and Beatle boots with cuban heels. Plus, my silver helmet had stick on cartoon eyes at the back.
Kids these days

I bought a 750cc Norton Atlas a few days after my 17th birthday. Passed my test on an AJS 250cc 'Model 14 CSR' when I was 16.

How nice

Unfortunately that seems to be what the forecast is saying

Had to unpack again as I lost my passport.

Joke
Arrived yesterday afternoon. Blimey, everything is expensive. Never done b&b in Spain before. Bar and restaurant prices are crazy compared to the Algarve. Even burger n chips is €10-12. Fish n chips is €18 minimum. We are going to the main town today, maybe it will be more reasonable.
At least it sunny and hot.

Surprised you never did h/b as the food is pretty good in the hotel

We have sunshine here now.

How long did it last for?
