Retirees

[bruiser]

Retired from USAF with 20 years service in 1989. Worked 6 months for a friend at his equipment business. Couldn't get along with his wife or the low pay. Went to work for a major indoor/outdoor cleaning solutions company as an area service rep. Very good company, some great people. Wife got tired of me coming home all stove up after 10-14 hours a day. I got tired of the politics and self serving management. I retired after 24 years. Had an offer from a "company" to come to work for them. Money was very good. Time "on the road" not so good. Turned them down.

Won't bore you with what I do now. Suffice it to say, I'm busy. Wife and I ride every chance we can.

I retired from Law Enforcement in '03 and did Daddy Daycare for 3 yrs. Then worked at a couple of jobs including an Apple Store. Finally started really enjoying retirement about 8 yrs later.

The wife retired from Law Enforcement June 2013. While enjoying our biggest thrill of the 150th Anniversary at Gettysburg we got a phone call that our house was on fire. Sadly the wife has yet to enjoy retirement as our house is just about finished on the rebuild. Riding has helped keep our sanity tho.

Vidman, sorry to hear about your home. When you are ready, if you want to return to Gettysburg, I would be glad to give you a personal tour of the battlefield. I'm not a licensed guide, but have been a Civil War Buff for most of my life and live within 50 miles of Gettysburg. It's also one of my favorite places to ride my Spyder and my previous bikes.

Best of luck on the rebuild!

Retired in 2008 after 22 great years in the Air Force. Worked as a crew chief and test manager on B-1's and B-2 bombers. Can't wait for my next retirement so I can become a full time spyder rider. Just picked up my 2015 RT Special Series. The first 150 miles have been awesome.

Wife received her kidney July 31, 2007. She did peritoneal dialysis for 18 months.

My Kathy (Her real nAme; this is serious...), was very fortunate to only do hemodialysis for six Months. when she was first diagnosed, and her GFR was only 8%; her best friend got tested, and was almost a perfect match!
She was a VERY lucky lady, and every day feels just like Christmas!

Sold my business of 25 years (Mfg Rep in process control instrumentation) and went to work at The Home Depot for the benefits I still needed. Retired from there in Sept 14. Bought the Spyder in Dec 14 and ryding the tires off of it.

[Dudley]

Retired from the USPS in 2007. After vegetating for 4 years I went back to work for a local casino. After 3.5 years walking the floor as a slot attendant I was accepted in Accounting as a Revenue Auditor. 32 years after getting a degree in Business I am finally using it. 71 years young and rolling. Have owned a 2008 GS SE5, traded on a Silver 2010RT SM5, traded on White 2014 RTS SE6. No plans for another retirement. Work till I die, I guess, but better that way than constricted to a house waiting to die. I don't hunt, fish, golf, etc., not because I can't, I don't want to. Work to ride and ride to work.

Hey capt Jim. I wonder if our paths ever crossed? I retired in 2002 with 35 years at Pitney Bowes. Worked in Syracuse, the Great Lakes Region out of Detroit, and finished in Rochester NY as a Service Manager and then Tech Sales Consultant.

[flaggerphil]

I retired both from the Navy and DOD a little over three years ago after 40 years, five months, 17 days and 5 hours...not that I was counting. I've been riding street bikes since 1968.

[ronrico]

I retired from the US Coast Guard in 1994 after 23 years. But since uncle sam does not pay that much I am still employed. The light is at the end of the tunnel though only a few more years and I will just be riding the spyder.

Hi Jack,

Re: Still looking for part time job as an escort for rich, good-looking women.

Find two and I'll be there in a heartbeat. I'd even settle for 'sorta rich.'
