    Comfortably Retired vs Working Man

    That's a really nice bike! From a mechanic's standpoint, I liked the Harley EVO engine a lot better than the Twin Cam engine. As a rider, I thought the Twin Cam ran smoother (except for the counter balanced Softail bikes, which are smooth as glass!). We always lived well within our means. That's...

    Comfortably Retired vs Working Man

    Some stuff has to go away when you retire. This was our last boat. And yes, the Freightliner was the dedicated tow vehicle.

    Comfortably Retired vs Working Man

    Is that a Kimber? I don't know much about them but from what I've read, they're really nice. In Amazon Prime's show "Bosch", Harry Bosch carries a Kimber TLE II with two extra magazines. Harry is left-handed but shoots right-handed, if I remember right. On P-51s, the T-28 Trojan flies quite a...

    Comfortably Retired vs Working Man

    Nice Road King. I had a soft spot for the police bikes, my first being a new 2009 Road King Police Edition and the second being a 2013 Electra Glide Police Edition, bought in 2013 with only 600 miles on it. My wife bought a new 2009 Softail Deluxe and kept it until 2019, a year after we quit...

    Comfortably Retired vs Working Man

    Yeah, I remember the two stroke triples. I remember the Honda CBX six banger too. I had a new 1979 Suzuki GS1000E, which is considered a superbike these days. We had airplanes too. Fun hobby but expensive. My wife flew a P-51 Mustang at the Oshkosh Air Show back in 1994. My final flight was...

    Comfortably Retired vs Working Man

    This Sportster has always been a two-kick bike. It hasn't been run since 2022 so it will need more than two kicks. A friend who owns a couple of WLs and WLAs has offered to kick it for me. I might play with my Tisas and Remington-Rand 1911s at the indoor range today and maybe play with my KWC...

    Comfortably Retired vs Working Man

    I still have one HD, my restored 1973 Sportster XLCH. I haven't run it for a couple of years because my knees and my back don't like to kick start that old dog. I've had a couple of offers on it. If I live through the cardiac nerve ablation scheduled for March 18, I think I'm going to let it...

    Comfortably Retired vs Working Man

    I retired in 2010 at age 58. Good thing too, because the last two years haven't been any fun at all. I should have started collecting a long time ago but instead I spent money on boats and Harley-Davidsons. Now that I stay close to home (and to the cardiologist's office and hospital) I have...
