What have you done on your bike today?

I retired at 59 (strictly speaking, I accepted redundancy with a package that meant I received a bunch of cash and the equivalent of my pension until actual retirement).

Best fecking decision of my life. The job look set to go to absolute squirrel shit and job cuts were also on the cards so it was time to go.
I know I would have kept my job but I didn't like the strings that were likely to be attached.
Shout-out to my boss who gave me advice on how to place myself in the "most likely to be laid off" category, which worked (there were a lot of moving parts to this). It also meant that someone who wanted or needed to keep their job, kept their job which made me feel good.

And when I'm sixty-seven, if we still have a country (possible but not likely), the state pension will make me even richer than Exige. Which is nice.

I get my first state pension payment at the end of October which will be nice!

Today i went down to the garage and put some air in the rear tyre, it's still losing air!!:rolleyes: By accident i found out my sissy bar was loose so tightened that up and checked if anything else had vibrated itself loose.:)
As i had got up late i just went for a Salisbury ride, parked up and went to Tesco, i wanted some eggs so found the eggs aisle and fuck all in there!!
I then checked out most of the other aisles and nothing, couldn't be bothered to ask so left.🤷‍♂️
On the way home i overtook some cars just coming into Romsey, the last car started to flash his lights at me and beeping his horn!! I ignored him, then had to come up to a give way and he was right behind me going mental at me, so still ignored him and he was fucking going berserk, fucking funny!!:ROFLMAO:

And I thought you were much older than that!
 
I had a short ride on the BMW 310R I recently bought for The Trouble. Only 10 miles or so all on small A and B roads. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was , like a real bike only smaller. It rode over the bumps well, handled predictably and even picked up the pace quite well. I didn`t go over 70mph obviously as that as as fast as I ever go anywhere in the UK so can`t comment on top speed but I guess 85-90 might be achievable.
Too small for me to ride for long but I will add the 310 GS version to my list of options for a Winter Hack as they are considerably bigger and our very own @Loz is always very complementary about his.
