What do you plan to do when you retire?

[CDNRatMan]

have good health for several years

can you qualify the answer as to physical or mental, because I will have both, some others are ok physically and will not be able to mentally handle it.....

[Pilgrim]

Sure would be nice to retire and not have any time constraints, then a man could ride and see some country... if your able. The best blessing would be to retire and have good health for several years.

Retirement age in the UK has been increased to 68, this will save the government billions each year..expect the US and Canadian governments to follow suit.

I've been up to Mosquito pass before. Fun drive. I like red cone trail as well. gets you up to where mountain goats usually are. There are several other trails that are in my top five, but without looking up the names, that was the one I can remember.

[CDNRatMan]

  thought driving over Mosquito Pass before GPS and all that stuff was a great trip.....and it was fun....

Not to beat a dead horse but riding the loop is better than taking your neighbors out in your Bronco collection to run epic Colorado washes! Yes, those are young children driving. Front to back, 1974 Sheriff Bronco all original, 1971 Bill Stroppe, 1971 60k original mile (broke down during the ride) and the 1974 Rancho appointed brother of big foot.

[dakuhosu]

I plan (as in building my stuff right now) on building a shit load of kick ass Drifters and giving people a tour of the most incredible ride perhaps in the world up here in Colorado. Alamosa to Pagosa to Chama back to Alamosa. Fly in, ride and fly out. I have lived a full life and my Drifter on that loop beats everything else. For instance a trip to Moab with a historical Bronco running 40s is a joke.

  how about a job at Canada's Wonderland and then you could be a barker or ride coordinator.

If anything, When I retire I want to become a car salesman or a real estate agent. Those two professions seem like a lot of fun if I don't have to worry about making a lot of money. Also, I'll have a lot of connections by then and hopefully be able to connect it up.

I just hope with the current economic situation, and our government screwing us over, that I'll be able to retire ever.

If so, I have enough hobbies to keep me busy - hobbies I seldom have any time for now - woodworking, metal working, hunting, leather working, the list goes on.  I'd also like to have time (and good health) to re-do some bikes and cars. 

[John Hopkins]

Between the household jobs and repairs and the time I spend doing something to one of my bikes, or another, The shopping, cleaning, cooking and washing, the rides, keeping up with the paperwork and paying the bills on time..retirement seems to take a lot more of my time than working ever did.

Troll at least unlike DC you were not using cubits when you built your last boat....

That was not a good measuring system.  The boat ended up being too small and I couldn't fit any dinosaurs, and we know what happened to them.  I did manage to get enough wives on board though.  Boy, did I ever regret that!

An engineer I worked with told me the hardest part about becoming an engineer was when they drilled the hole in the base of his skull and drained out all the common sense. Up to that point, I wasn't aware that he had any......

Eh, I'm an Aerospace Engineer. We have holes drilled in the top and get any leftover common sense to make us that much better than other engineers. That's why I'm into working on cars and also Drifters.

[CDNRatMan]

oh not giving him crap just wish I could be in his place, I am thinking when I get to them gates and am awaiting addmission I am goin to ask for a do over...

GreenBarn is going to that warm place......

That being said, I can't talk too loud, being a welder.

[gdrudd13]

Impressionable? I'm not so sure engineer and impressionable go together. Something about engineers being stubborn, and not good listeners... I don't know, I didn't pay attention to that part, didn't think I'd ever need it.

[Troll]

We're always trying to get younger people interested in motorcycles, and here we have a prime example of a young, impressionable enthusiast, and what do they do...give 'em crap...I wish I still had 41 years to retirement...If I'd known I was going to live this long, I might have taken better care of myself...or not!

[gdrudd13]

let me see if I have this right, retierment age is 41 years away, and you will retire at 65 so that makes you like the baby on the forum, wow Troll has socks older then you......DC has wood left from his ark trip older then you...lol...

I'm sure there is someone younger than me.

[gdrudd13]

If retirement wasn't 41 years away as it stands now, I might have a decent answer for you. And that's only if the retirement age is at 65. I don't see that as being very likely at the moment. So my plan is to be alive long enough to actually retire.

[CDNRatMan]

  I'll let you know in  well when I get my message in the next 24 months, in fact I'll ride down to chat with you about it, just make sure I am allowed in that day and you are on a day  pass then.......

[jmbo]

When I retire I plan to build a hot rod and ride my '99er whenever I can.  Wait a minute! I am retired and that's what I'm doing. Mission accomplished!

[49Reo]

Big time......already there......
