Retirement Perk?
When you look outside in the morning, see the sun shining and decide it is a good day for a ryde
Since I got my RT in late October and just passed 9000 miles I guess I do this a lot
Anybody agree with this outlook?

Will be 60 in May...
Trying to decide if 62 or 65 (or tomorrow) will be the right time...
Luckily I have an easy job, 45 seconds from my house, that I enjoy, and gives me 35+ days off per year...

The only problem I have with retirement is that it doesn't pay very well. I don't know how I ever found the time to work!

I just hope that I can make it to "retirement" one day. Like you, I would LOVE to wake up in the morning and decide just WHERE shall I go today!!?? 15 yrs. and counting........ Hope Spydee lasts that long, .... or maybe I can have one for every day of the week!

I was surprised that after two weeks of retirement I did not feel like going back to work. I usually only took two weeks vacation at a time. I now go out on patriot guard missions, senior choir at the church, and working with my daughter take care of her quadriplegic husband and three month old son. Oh, and watching TiVo. I haven't got sucked into soaps yet.

I love retirement I dont know how I had the time to work (work what a ugly word) people ussally ask me what do you do all day and my reply is what do you do on weekends thats what we do every day. I love it when I am on the road on a Tuesday or whatever with the Bass boat and people are speeding to get to work while putting on makeup, on the phone, texting, reading the paper etc. I can't fathon that I was in the fast lane for all those years. All I can say is Life is Good pay yourself first.

When I worked, I averaged over 60 hours a week...for over 25 years. Never once used all my alloted vacation time. I retired at 57 and never looked back...despite some lucrative offers. It's the only way to fly!

I also agree about retirement. The Spyder was my gift to myself. Now i spend my time either riding or helping my kids with my three grandsons. Life is better than good, it's great.

My wife and I are both retired. We do the same. We are up in the north east Georgia mountains, if it's cold we head south and when it's hot we ride in the mountains. Life is good and the Spyder RS-S made it better.

I hear ya --- I am retired too. I love the freedom and everyday is a weekend....
Problem is I got paid on THURSDAY! I sure miss Thursdays

Yeah after retirement we have a lot of free time to enjoy the life. Traveling is my best hobby in free time. In summer during traveling we use sunglasses for eye protection. In long days of summer the riding of spider is joyful.

I need to quit reading this thread as the little green jealousy monster is starting to rear its ugly head.
I am actually very happy to hear of so many people enjoying their retirement. I hope I will be able to join you and enjoy retirement one day as well, but it is currently a distant dream.

I tried retirement once and it didn't take. It may have been because I was 30 and didn't have money to keep the retirement going. I may attempt it again in a few years but there are so many things that need changing in the world, and I am a constant tinkerer.
