Big T

Well after many many years in the corporate world (which has been good to me) I quit my job today and am embarking on a major Sea Change. My partner and I are retiring from the corporate world whilst still young and fit enough to enjoy our retirement.

But not in AUS. We are selling up and moving to the Philippines (yes she is from the Philippines). We shall be travelling for the first 6 months or so round the provinces (7,100 islands) visiting friends and family and looking for our bungalow on a beach to settle in. We aim to live simply and comfortably and do some volunteer in that community to keep us active and give something back for a change.

So my next Duke may very well be a Honda 90cc (mmmmmm...... wonder how a CF exhaust will go with a DP ECU  [roll] ....).

This means my belovered “Sugar S4RT” has to find a new home  :'(  :'( ...... She will be posted in the for sale section very sooooon..... Also will list all the spares I have as well (man where do you start).

Exciting and nervous times ahead.

I have absolutely enjoyed all your company, friendship and ride / track days and generally shooting the breeze. I shall miss you all but there will always be a straw mat available for any wayward visitors. Long as you don't mind 6 of us on the 90.......

I will be round till about mid March so a catch up drink shall be in order before I leave the building......
   .... This is your captain speaking. Please fasten your seat-belts as we prepare for take off.... (I'm the passenger now....)

Trev, this is making me both sad and excited - sad for our community losing a valued member, and exciting knowing you are setting off on a new chapter that will be rewarding for you.

We'll definitely have a send off, and it will only be a send off in body - I know you'll keep in touch (and provide a great holiday destination when you find that secluded island beachside bungalow!)

Cheers
Nick

Big T!!!

I was wondering when I saw these 4th of January 2010 pics of the Monster on your Flickr.
You know who wants to be her next owner, don't know if the new baby girl can have a new baby girl no.2

You know we are sad  :'( to see you leave our shores and to have to sell the Sugar Monster.
The new life will be magnificent anything but working would be just wonderful.

Of course there will be a send off and defiantly one last ride. 

cheers
Matty...

Big bold move Big T, I havent met you but it sounds like something a caring and compasionate person would do, although you'll have a beach hut as compensation  [thumbsup]. All the best with it.

Does that mean I will have the only Titanium S4R on the Oz Monster board?

Hi Trev,
I wish you both the very best. I am sorry that I have not had the opportunity to meet you, but I can see from your input on this forum that you have been a very well respected member.
Best wishes always,
