14 to 61 that makes 47 years!
« on: March 08, 2007, 07:28:24 AM »
Hey Guys, I sold my store this week and retired!  :-D :-D

Now there will be time to build my 94 KX5! :-o :-o Do some remodeling, dune trips, machining, sculpture and a bunch of riding!  :-D :-D

So you can call me "Old Fart" but not "Gramps", cause that pisses me off!  :-P He He! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

61? - wow my dad is not that old (he is still faster than me on his bike - an 87 490 - looking for a kx500 so he can really smoke me)

Sorry I had to kid (no that wasn't a reverse pun) because as you are out blasting dunes and I am looking down at 27 years until I can retire (yes I am already counting). You definitely get the last laugh.

Congrats on the retirement, enjoy it - I am sure you will

Send pics of that 94 when its done

Congratulations Alan!   :-D    At times I feel like I have so much I want to do but just can't get to it all right now.  You say that you have enough projects to last six lifetimes...  dang,  I was hoping that when I get older I would have less to do but its looking a bit the opposite.

Good job making to where you are and looking forward to riding with you in the future,  seriously.
