The Retirement Thread

Actually your post sounded like it was straight from GB News 😂😂. And was not what I would have expected from a person that professes to have Christian values.

Fight fight fight. Handbags at dawn. 10 paces gentlemen, then swing those bags.

Talking about riding your bike, how many of you can do an emergency stop? I know I can't as I can't hold the brake lever at the bottom to apply enough pressure.
My answer is to always read well the road ahead and don't t take any risk if not sure of what other road users are doing.

About as cheap as your comment on my Christian values...........

It’s called freedom of speech, I thought you liked that . Or is it only freedom for your speech 😀😀

Steady guys, steady. The mods have temporarily closed this thread in the past and I'm sure would do again.

well I am still on Madones 5.5 and 5.9sl but run more than ride now. Will be 76 this year I have hard racing saddles which I was told are not good for the prostate . I ride on quieter roads at off peak hours 'cause I must admit I feel a tad nervous that some stupid goon in a car will pull out in front of me. Was going to buy a new Yamaha R3 ( 2025 model is gorgeous ) but her indoors is vehemently opposed to it , so maybe no

Yes, we have "done" the motorbike bit too. No bike at moment, Daughters not happy with Mrs B's riding pillion. Old age is a bummer 🙂

Parish council meeting tonight. I think it'll be a long and arguey one.

I ignore the arguments and just cast my vote at the end. Why they can't all just cast their votes and keep the moaning to themselves is beyond me.

Isn't that the "fun" part? 😂

I finished North Shore. Really enjoyed it. I noticed there was something else available on catch up. Another series with David Suchet in it. I will probably give that a go too.
