The Retirement Thread

[numbnuts]

Mrs D wants to know what I'd like for my 50th Birthday. I'm not brave enough to ask for 5 minutes alone with Carol Vorderman, so its either another tattoo or a Velosolex.

Velosolex I have always wanted one of them a few on ebay

I know a chap who rebuilds them and the occasional classic moped (he's currently working on an NSU Quickly) and he has one at the moment that's a would and running 66 model, just needs registering and either restoring or use as is.

Foggy and horrible out there today, off out for lunch somewhere, not sure where yet. Been doing a bit of decorating for the last few hours and I am well pleased with myself. The brownie points are totting up, but how on earth do you cash them in?

It's the half century mark, you may be suprised.

Afternoon. Got my bum into gear and went for a 17 mile bimble. Nice in the sun but bloomin cold in the shade.

@welsh dragon well done!

Beautiful, beautiful day here. Quite warm but windy. Been to the surgery for an armful of injections for Vietnam trip and then to meet Vantage and collect the CC shirt. Round trip should have been 4-5 miles but managed to turn it in to 19.

Spinning tonight.

Got my Christmas treat yesterday. Aldi have a lovely Champagne cognac on sale. Had one taste last night and now back of the cupboard till the 25th. My store only had eight bottles so get a shift on if you're interested.

Lovely set of photo's @welsh dragon, it looks lovely round there. I got back about half an hour ago. an enjoyable 56 miles in the autumn sun, a bit fresh at first but warming up nicely and by the time I was riding across Coventry on the way home I was overdressed and a bit warm. I was going better this morning than I've gone for a few weeks, three and a half hours for 50miles. Called in at Hatton Locks and spent some of the money I won at bingo yesterday, they do a very nice bacon sandwich.

Thanks Dave. It was warm in places here as well.

Clear blue sky here for most of the day, I still feel like I have eaten too much.
