All I can say is live for now and plan to be financially ok if you wake up tomorrow
My dad who died at 83 took redundancy an early retirement at age 56 as he had see. So many guys retire at 65 and drop down dead before they were 67
He stuff led financially I. The early years but did he make the right decision
Life is about now and enjoyment

That would be just like have ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife, then meeting the man of your dreams.....and his beautiful wife. Isnt it ironic. |

I had a 350 AJS with a sidecar chassis. No sidecar just a wooden box with a bag of sand inside. The slow speed control part of the test was not a problem
