I don’t know, when my mechanic had my bike’s gearbox apart last year it seemed like he was fighting BMW against their will for people to not work on bikes. Skills like that never become useless.

No space for the KTM?

I used to setup BMW airhead gearboxes i made a setup plate, i ended up doing 10 or 12 for my local dealer..then it got a bit much so i gave them the setting plate. I used to get a credit on my account that kept me in services and a good part of a new Bike. I still have an 80gs box fully rebuilt in the pit in the garage. Too much trouble these days, plus not as much call for real mechanics skills,,,all seems to be plug it in and change stuff. WTF is going to happen when the chips die and there is no body who can repair stuff.

Like they say...its never big enough....its 24 wide by 32 deep...should have went with 32 by 32...

Looks like a rather large garage you got there, mine just about fits the bikes and my tool chest and bench in it....

Six30 got a new avatar...lol.

True, that aluminium headstock could give up anytime.

Not exactly...but you never know...road accident...

So your superior genetics are giving up?

Think Im gonna watch a movie now...lol.

Its one reason im taking it at 60...don't understand the logic to waiting till 65...so if I die at 64 all that money the government keeps...

They hope people will die before they get it so they can reduce the load on the fund even though people have paid into it their entire working life.

You should start a gibberish thread for @Six30...lol.

67 that is old for retirement..

At the moment the age of drawing is up to 67. It is a central pot paid for out of national insurance contributions but the government has mismanaged it a lot over the years. It used to be available at 60.

Just a reminder, if you have a post deleted don't post it again, just take the hint. If you post it repeatedly you will get a time out like any petulant five year old.

How do this work...is it calculated for the amount of years someone been working ? And at what age ?

I have a workplace pension.

We have had our first snow of the year, just clearing the way so I can get the bike out.

You must have something through your work Ian ?...no ?

We have a state pension.

Seriously nothing ? This cpp is a gooberment check by the way...

We have glue factories.

Just curious do you guys in the UK have something similar for retirement...or its like state side ?
