It's official.

After looking at many motorcycles that would be appropriate for retirement age...I made the mature decision and bought myself a new MT-09. It's light and the steering is really quick

Bike trip has officially started…

👍 Fuck work

After 30 years at the Post Office, I retired at the end of April. They offered 15k USD for people eligible, to go find something else to do. I'm still waiting on what is called an "undeleted" DD214. I was told it could take eight to ten weeks to get it from the VA archives. The P.O. is getting tired of waiting for me to send it. I'm getting tired of waiting for it to show up. The VA still has not processed my request. Until then, the P.O. will not process my retirement. What am I doing with my time? I'm staying up late, sleeping late, and relaxing. I need a routine but I'm not ready for one, yet. I have access to a half-acre, double city lot with a 20x24 block building with a walk thru door, and a roll up door. Urban farming is becoming real trendy, and I've been doing a lot of studying about farming/market gardening. I should be getting a nice lump sum for my unused vacation, plus ten of the fifteen k they have promised. There is a farmers market two miles from where I'll be growing onions and lettuce, carrots and greens, and quick to mature produce. I'll take the money and purchase a two wheel walk behind tractor with interchangeable implements. If I can make enough to pay property taxes and buy a new bike, I'll be happy.

Somebody let them know you were coming?

Just a heads up, there is a new rule here on OR. Selling your Goldwing without plans for a near immediate purchase of another Goldwing is a banable offense.

Loaded up the saddlebags and trunk. Leaving for the Gap in the morning. A much needed vacation.

Not sure if I should point this out, but that's not a Goldwing.

Well Done, Keep your mind active.🤤 At 68 I am on a fast downhill in my daily life but on the motorcycle, It all comes back. also, practice the old man handshake.

Congrats Jim! You won't regret it. Been a useless male drone since 2006. Still having fun. And...every day is Saturday!

I got poopercharged over the Winter. 772whp @ 10psi with E85. Stock clutch is holding for now...

I will be there on my V-Strom. https://hockingvalleymc.com/adventure/

Last line from my ex ---"you love that motorcycle more than you love me!" ... Me..."the truth sucks doesnt it" (oops)

You fuckers will never be banning me for such an offense. They don't even make Goldwings with inline four engines so therefore inferior. Why would one want a motorcycle that slow? I hear they are equivalent to an Accord and just about as much fun.

All is good now. Pulled the tank dump the gas, wiped out as much as we could. Gave it a quick rinse. Fresh gas and seafoam and she's running like a dream again.

This has now convinced me to never buy a goldwing.

This one was on my Win11 desktop this morning. Looks like fun, but I'll probably never get to ride it.

Any details on where it’s at?

Well we do have to come back eventually. But no hurry as we are retired.

Sounds like a race is in order. Cleveland to Mt. Rushmore it is!!

Sold for $2800 hope some kid got it to enjoy

Congrats Jim ! Welcome to the club 👍

You definitely need a banana to ride when she doesn’t want to ride your banana!

I don't know about you guys who have matured into Goldwings, but when I get on my bike, I become a 20 year old hooligan again.

Jim Your the reason I'm back. I was looking through some old pictures and found this one of you on your first bike. LMAO we hand some great rides.

That’s why most of us left. Having to have the same conversation with the same retards about the same dumb shit gets tiresome. The pool had slowly drained down to just the sludge. hopefully this unholy matrimony will restore some of the former glory and fun of getting together with local like minded bubbys for motorized shenanigans.

While I'm at it disease fully attacking my lymth nodes.. (fuck me)
