A little present to me ....

[blues n twos]

So I’m taking early retirement after 20 years as a Paramedic at 56 and as a little pat on the back I’ve just put a deposit down on this little thing of beauty

I prefer the black wheels over gold and when I saw this one it was a done deal

I’ll be workingl part time still but also drawing my pension from NHS.

This will sit very nicely aside my GSA 40th oh shit... what have I done

Lovely - many Happy Days Retired

 

[Bem]

And another "little pat on the back" from me - well done on both counts!

What a great thing to read - that bike is a lovely homage to the airhead version, I like it a lot. Enjoy it Jon!

 

[JerseyNeil]

Nice. You deserve it and very cunning of you as you will only need one lot of touch up paint

 

[Paul G (BHT)]

Nice one, well done BnT

A friend of mine has just bought one, the one with '23' on the tank not sure of the model. He loves it and has put a few 1,000 miles on it already this year including a trip to the South of France, did a 500 mile day on it returning home.

Looks fantastic!
Good luck with your retirement

Thanks for all the kind words

Got a few farkles planned, mainly black crash bars, black sump guard and a tail rack.

That will do as I want to keep it looking clean if you know what I mean

Ooh the only bike that would easily tempt me back to a BMW , by far the best looking R9T and also the best looking 40th model too.

Well done you , very jealous on both counts

 

[Skid06]

well deserved retirement in a demanding job, enjoy your new bike,

 

[SteveHop]

You have definatly done the right thing going part time first before full retirement.
Retirement itself provides its own challenges and a half way step, going part time helps. Its really easy in the summer months when its easy to go out, keep buissey and generally have a nice time. But in the winter months its more difficult.

Good luck with it , buy as many bikes as you can afford, go on as many holidays as you can and above all keep buissey.

 

[Keith Chapman]

Happy retirement Jon, enjoy the new toy. I wont miss that as you enjoy your retirement on our local roads.

 

[Hut van]

Good choice, my 719 red and black Urban should be with me in March, got the engine bars,tail tidy, screen and mudsling all ready to go on when it arrives.

 

[G&T]

Last year I saw several R9T’s on tour in N Wales, with one fella hanging off the back of one filming the others. I wish you as much fun as they were having Happy retirement.

Perfic...
Health & wealth to enjoy ..
And here's hoping you have a long & happy retirement Jon ...

 

[Robbo1200ADV]

Good for you . Did the same 7 years ago . Still working 3 days a week as a salaried GP but hope to last a bit longer than when I was full time

 

[Deleted account 221212001]

Congratulations on the retirement, you will soon wonder why you didn't do it earlier.

 

[Micky]

Well done Jon .... enjoy
