The Retirement Thread

[screenman]

I am back, 20 miles done.

 

[Drago]

That's not thunder. That's my Y fronts creaking as I give them their weekly spray with air freshener.

 

[screenman]

I'll keep the regular crusty Y fronts on, but out of deference to my Daughter I'll cover them up with a clean pair.

You got class, that is for sure.

10.00!!!!!!!! Good morning. Woke at 6.15 which is usual get up time for an 8.00 ride meet as I have to leave at 7.30.

Checked out window. Calm and clear. I'm lacking motivation so back to bed and fell asleep. 7.00 huge clap of thunder and torrential rain. Decision made.

Woke again at 8.45 still raining. Sun is now

I would need one of these if I went for a ride today.

You got class, that is for sure.

Yep, I'm a positive Pierce Brosnan

When I get back from Daughters I'm going to clean and wax the Mad Max, spray all chrome, plated, or polished bits with Duck Oil, remove the battery, get it up on paddock stands and then zip it in its cover for the Winter months. I need to spend winter refitting the newly rebuilt heae to the FZR to get the fleet back up and running again. Even though I'm barely using them (the Max has done 90 miles this year, a ride out to SAR training and back, and to its MOT and back) I can't bring myself to part with them.

Looks like wigan pier may well be under water by the end of the day, just had the loudest thunder I have ever heard

No, you didnt. You think you did but it was actually Drago after last nights curry.

 

[Dave7]

I am back, 20 miles done.

You beat me to it.
Sorry.....that was directed at Drago.

Right, stood om the scales, 18 stone 12.

I've had enough. The enforced cycling lay off is really narking me and not good for my health. Promlem is I'm tall and broad so don't look porky and still have a powerlifters frame, but I know it's there and annoying me.

Luckily, I'm bloody minded and have a will of absolute iron when something gets to me, so I'm back on my eating plan, back in the gym as much as I am able (anything involving right upper body is out for now, but everything else is getting a caning). Going to get back to my lean, ripped and bulked Dolph Lundgren best, the look that earned me the nickname Drago down at the police gym.

So this will of iron.......is this why you are 18 stone 12.
If so we must have similar will power

I can only say I recognise the words as English but joined up I haven't a clue what they mean!!!!!

Morning all, what a great day yesterday was we did not get home till gone midnight after an evening out with the eldest lads family celebrating our grandsons 16 on Monday. No plans for today as yet, which is extremely rare for me, if the weather holds fine it will include a ride though.

It's Monday!
