Whats a Dvd ? This is a Vcr ( top loading version ) production :thumbup1: . are there any particular bits you want ahem "air brushing " by the way ?

I am at work. Computer in one pannier, work clothes and bike stuff in the other. get paid per km, travel allowance to operate the bike and write bike allowance of against tax :mchappy:

30-40000 km per year on bikes, many of which I get paid for, of which I get a fixed rate no matter what I drive, as well as for the hours spent travelling. Who says I must get from site to site by tar road?

Corporate office life in a suit is no life for a man. A suit is for my funeral. Come to think of it, a life time in an office in a suit is a funeral. A lingering death.

Worked in south America, and all over Africa as well. Never in cities. In Ghana was in remote areas and was offered a 4x4 or a dirt bike. Guess which I chose he he. Why spend my own money travelling around when I can get paid to do it? and get paid for nice hotels when in towns as well. Doesn't make sense to me to save money to go places when I can get my trip paid, my time paid and extend my stay a bit to tour some. Saw a lot of Europe and America this way as well.

Sounds like the only thing you need a secretary!

I can service anything, fix punctures, have GPS, camping and cooking equipment, all riding gear, I excel at finding pubs, I'm ugly as, don't shag the boss, prefer KTM's, can start immediately :thumbup1:

On a serious note. Congratulations, sounds like you've nailed it :Beach:

You Sir. Are a jammy sod.

Id be sending Kradmelder a PM Ted. Get some clue as to, HOW to ;-)

PS. WTF is a Kradmelder ?

The original off road bikers who set off to cross russia:scooter:

Getting fed up with the job, me and wife split up, sorting myself out, planning a trip for May next year to get away. bier

That is a great way to sort your head out after a divorce. Better than drinking and feeling sorry for yourself. You never know what you will come up with and will learn to enjoy your own company.
Good luck!

Retired for 4 weeks
 

I did the same basic job for 30 yrs then went into the management end of it.. was getting more and more of a bureaucratic nite mare so i pulled out and retired.. now things are great.. :scooter:bier:Beach:

I do the dullest job in the world (health and Safety) but it gives me the money and motivation to go out and get dirty. beer Without work, no money, without money, no new toys and adventure.

Finally voted so thought I'd fill the gaps
Haven't read the whole thread yet so apologies if repeating

After many years dossing around all over the place I fell into international teaching. I now have a massive laugh every day, get decent money that allows saving and travelling and generally take a year off to travel ( 4x4. Bike or trekking) every 3 to 5 years. Ok no ids an no house but get your priorities right

Life is bloody great,,, especially as I'm in one of those years off now

I'm 53 and got fed up with the whole work morgage thing....so the the kids have grown up and off our hands it's time to sell up.

A few weeks away from the property being sold and everything else gone on eBay and boot fairs ( it's amazing what tat people will buy!)

That's it... The mrs and me head off into the rest of the world in our 1994 Toyota. We have a rough idea of where we want to go, but are not really planning things in great detail..... Min 2 years, Max 5, but who knows??

People have asked the usual stuff, such as " what about when you get back?" to which I have no answer....maybe we won't go back.

It may feel strange to be " homeless" it may not....I guess we will find out soon enough....:D

I personally wouldnt worry about the future , it has a strange way of sorting itself out .
It s more than likely that you and the Mrs will eventually find the place that you both think " we could live here " and the rest will follow :funmeteryes: . Anyway the most interesting people i have met on my travels are those like yourself and people who do odd jobs , have no fixed abode and just save up ready for the next trip :scooter:
Enjoy !!

Do I like my job?

Definitely NOT! currently working as a Project Officer in the NHS; No I don't know what that is either, which is part of the problem! :helpsmilie:

It doesn't help that I was made redundant in March (also from the NHS) and so took this job as an alternative to being out of work although it did mean a substantial reduction in salary.

Luckily the mortgage was paid off last year and i'm single(ish) again so beginning to think a job where I can get more time to ride my bike would suit me better.... just not sure what it is yet :confused1:

The one good thing about my current job is the 34 mile commute to work, as I use the bike and there are several (nice and twisty) alternative routes to choose :smile3:

Cheers Chris....see you when we get back on the 16th for that drink....bier
