I am now officially retired!
Not sure what I shall do for rally money but I'm so relieved!
Raise a glass with me?

Surely you're too young to retire?
Congrats anyway.

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Enjoy your days of leisure

I wiah I could retire so young!! sounds like you must have already won the lotto to do that at such a young age
Iron Press Apple Beetr home and Bargains 59 p a pint the soft drink for real men ... no really it says so on the label
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock
