Retirees
Probably been polled before but just curious. Seems many if not most of us Spyder Riders are retired.
How long and from what?
I am retired from The Public Service, Electrical industry. 7 years in Hydro Operations and 23 years in System Dispatching. Then 20 years as LEO in Reserves and Superior Court Bailiff. Now just loafing around, hoping to Ride.

I enlisted in the USAF and retired after 25 years, six months and five days . . . but it didn't take. After a boring three day weekend, I went to work at the U.S. Department of Justice, where I spent another 20 years, six months, and 24 days . . . but who's counting? After 46 years and 29 days, my wife told me I had to retire . . . I said: "Yes, dear." and did.

Professional Retiree - liked it so much when I retired from the USAF, that I started another career so I could do it again!

After about 4 years Army, 16 years Navy and 12+ DOD Naval Civil Service as an electronics aircraft systems Tech Rep I was fired since I could no longer physically do my job. Lucky for me I had enough years to retire at 55. Love retirement but sometimes I do miss being where the action is.

I sat and figured this out and decided I am very old.
Retired from active duty USA in jly 1983 with over 28 years service.
Drove and taught people to drive School bus 3/4 time (summer vacation off) for about 18 years
About 8 years teaching (mostly) new teen drivers 3 or 4 days a week. Able to teel the boss when I wanted to work and when I wanted off.
2009 or so, I said, this is enought, I quit working for money.
Started riding (illegally in 1948 or so) Had a motorcylce ot two (except for VN) ever since. Decided I needed to get out of the two wheel busines and researched all kinds of trike converstions. Rode a Spyder demo and bought one of the first 08 GS, RT came out and bought one Spend a lot of time on PGR mission and a lot more on just riding. Long tirps are past but 40 miles a day in better then 14 hours in a rocking chair.
Ride safe and have fun.
