Hi everyone, I've recently retired and treated myself. Very excited to be taking delivery of my new machine tomorrow. My fourth Triumph in a row after starting my riding career riding Japanese bikes. Triumphs rock in my mind, love them!
Looking forward to being a member of the Bobber clan. 🤗

Congrats on the newest addition! Enjoy, my friend.

Congratulations!

From what did you retire? And what are you going to spend your time on now, aside from bikes?

Asking because I'd like to retire in the next few years ...

Hi,
here's a pic. of my new baby!
I was working as a building surveyor, self employed. I re-evaluated life during Covid-19 and decided to retire early and make the most of life whilst I have reasonably good health. Undertaken a lot of home and garden improvements as well as buying a caravan to enjoy time away during the summer. I am beginning to wonder how I ever had time to work!

Great looking bike!

Thanks for the reply. I often think about what I'd like to retire <to> instead of just what I'm retiring <from>. I cared for my folks full time until they passed a year ago and I wasn't prepared for what to do next. I'm trying to plan my retirement so I don't make that mistake again. I'm glad to hear you're staying active and engaged. I'd like to do the caravan thing too. I have friends all over the US I could visit, as well as France and Belgium.

My sympathies for your loss I'm sure you have a lot of adjustments to make. I think it's imperative to have hobbies and personal goals in retirement to keep both the body and mind active! I wish you all the best.

Nice ride, welcome aboard and congrats on the early retirement.

 

[MacBobber]

Thanks for the welcomes and comments of encouragement. I would have like a red gold line but couldnt find one. They look stunning!

A lot of rain since my bike arrived last Thursday but I have managed one decent 80 mile run out on Sunday and got a few 'snaps' of my new baby! I'm loving it!
