Default Sweet luck !
Well, most of you know that I retired here a few months back. I's nice boy but I can see where it could get really boring unless that is you have millions I also retired early, 57.

I thought at that age I could find what I want to do,well guess what? My buddy who owns his own INDY shop has asked me If I wanted to come manage the shop for him with winter!!

I'll get mine up on the lift and have every piece of that bike spotless come spring!

Sounds like a sweet deal to me, I have a few years to go yet but do hope to retire a little early.
