I'm retired. All I do is ride and work on old motorcycles. Also, Higgy don't know if they still do, but long ago when I worked as a mechanic, Cornwell made the best ratchets in the industry.

Yup Cornwell are well made and all the hardline is still made of US Steel,Forged in PA and machined in Ohio

Its why I choose Cornwell

Left school and joined the RNZAF as a trainee mechanic, left after 3 years ( got kicked out ..... long story and none of its true ) and went home to Invers and started ( and finished ) a 4 year apprentice ship as a small motor mechanic ( chain saws , lawn mowers ,Tas, indian and benelli small motorbikes ) Left there the day my app finished ( still the worst arsehole I have ever worked for) and started servicing comercial scales and weigh bridges , lasted 4 years there and them did another apprenticship in electrical equipment servicing and did that for the next 20 odd years and on 14/june/09 ( 11.40am )I had the big smash and havn't worked sinse.

Like Maico88 I'm now retired having taken a voluntary redundancy deal from the university where I worked just over a year ago. I spent most of the previous 35 years working in educational television as a technician. All I do now is ride bikes and work on them, servicing other folks Ducatis for them and a few other bikes too.

Me? Hmmmmm . . .. Well I used to be a solicitor and moved on when my firm cut half its staff. I have started playing with property in Central London. I come from, and still have a home in, West Wales.

I have always liked/loved bikes and have - after a long break - just got back into them, well just Ducatis actually. I currenlty own a 916s, an 851 and a 907ie. I intend to buy a Triumph Rocket III (only because the Diavel is too expensive)

[quote="Rhino"(only because the Davel is too expensive)[/quote]

Not to forget bloody ugly. (IMHO)

The Rocket III is hardly an oil painting!!

Forgot to say: I'm 50 going on 15. Extraordinarily happily married (never thought I would - glad I finally did). No kids (None I'll admit to anyway!)

Hi all, I am a crane operator, rigger, heavy haulage platform operator on an iron ore mine site in the pilbara region (north west) of Western Australia. It is hot, humid and dusty for most of the year but the work is rewarding and the pay is good. I am on site for 2 weeks and off for 1, which affords me some opportunities to ride the old girl. Weather in Perth (where I live) is good riding weather most of the year I'm happily married to a very long suffering, cracker of a mrs and have 3 teenage kids (hence the need for the bike purchase) which all believe they are 21
I guess Daisy is my mid life crisis (I'm 44) but what better vehicle to choose?
