I am retiring from work this week- and my scanning of the forum.

Support on the forum will be continued by Luke and Dan in Motad Sales.

All the best guys!- and think I will re-register as a private forum member

Enjoy your freedom from the everyday grind, and if you get bored you can always join us as a member in your own right, then you can join in and say what YOU want without fear of anyone within Motad being shocked or offended. I'm sure you have many amusing tales and anecdotes to share from your bike related past. Whatever you do, take care and enjoy.
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

I retired 10 years ago and now I don't know how I ever found time to go to work, I seem to be busier than ever, hope you enjoy it as much

Had the pleasure of meeting you in person at the last Oct. Stafford Show Ian. Have a great retirement, join us again, even if it's just for a bit of banter.
