Last Commute.
Last Commute.
Well thats it my last day of traipsing up to Greenwich.
Bit chilly in the morning & a few spots of rain...
Few more weeks & the winter gear would have been out.
Slow ride in as fuel was a bit low...Got there with 105miles showing on the Odometer... Found a Shell station on the way home bit of a que & they only had V-power... @ bloody £152.p p/l..robbing bastids...
Mellowed it home parked up @ 13.30...
Thats it I'm done...
So as I have handed in my works mobile, having deleated all the VTR contacts !

Re: Last Commute.
Mac, I didn't know you were retiring, you never mentioned anything, and yes Mac you do need to get a smart phone, then you can keep up to date easier with the latest group messages, like deposits etc
Hopefully I'll be following on in both of your foot steps at some point soon, possibly summer next year. Don't worry Al, I'm sure we'll find plenty of bike trips away, I'm already looking at touring Europe.
I actually did 6,000 miles in 4 months this year, and I'm still at work, so God knows what millage I'll do when I finish

Lucky, Lucky Bastid
Good on you Mac! Must say I'm well jealous but I'm much too young to be thinking about retirement
I guess You, Kev, Ali and Toni will all be heading off in the "Old Basid Group" on the next VTR meet

Re: Last Commute.
I'm only bloody 57 ! Still got a few years in me yet.
Just took the opertunity to finish early, grab some money, take a bit of a rest whilst not being spannerd for a change...
Still amazes me that I didn't get the tin tack a while back...
Prob gonna look for something part time & local to keep me afloat & able to run a Storm or 2...

Re: Last Commute.
I took early retirement in 2005 and have not done a days paid work since then.But there's only so much bargain hunt you can take.The only trouble i have found with retirement is that you never get to take a day off. Enjoy the rest of your life Mac.
SO WHEN DOES THIS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER KICK IN
Re: Last Commute.
Good luck in retirement Mac. Shame you’re not nearer, we’re looking for a technician/storeman at my college. I could write a glowing reference

Re: Last Commute.
105 miles sounds good!
VTR doesn't like V-power?
Maybe I should sack my mechanic.
