I'm waiting for reports of sightings of the works prototype Huntmaster Mk 2 with the competition alloy head.... ;)
(I can remember the famous Ariel Badger of not so long ago!)

Congratulations on your retirement. Certainly the best thing I ever did in my career.
You will find yourself so busy, but on your own projects.

I don't know wich one to bring to Ireland but i do know that you need to bring an HT to Spain for 3 months in the winter :D .
Or if you also have an Irish pasport than up to 6 months.

Enjoy your retirement, Steve.

Pretty soon you'll wonder how you ever found time to go to work . . . I retired 14 years ago, I'm busier than ever (or would be if I wasn't on Internet Forums :roll: ).

Same here. Working on bikes, shovelling coal in steam engines, working on the house, walking the dogs...

Beats the hell out of sitting at a desk getting fat!

Rode my bike to my work only for it to get a good soaking, now my clutch has got stiff, hard to work out how the rain could find it's way down my clutch cable.
I have a hydraulic cable oiler that works brilliant with WD40

That's a lotta WD40… but hopefully not all going down the oiler!

Congratulations on you retirement. I think I have two years left - bought an Ariel in preparation. Not spoken to anyone who has retired who wished they’d worked longer.
Enjoy
