Coming out of retirement......

Some of you know that I gave myself a 50th birthday present a year ago in July and retired. It's been GREAT but duty calls...
I go to work for Kawasaki next month during Biketoberfest in Daytona working with the Kawasaki event folks and the demo rides. If it works out, me and the Mrs. will travel around the country next year at several events.
Gotta thank my son Zack for plugging for me, he made it possible.
Hope to see you folks at some of the shows!
Dan

It actually sounds like a good retirement.I've been told a healthy retirement is where you stay busy.

Tell the Truth Dan! Do you really think any of us would call that WORK?? Getting to ride every Kawasaki they Make and be around all of the other Motorcycles day in and Day out and see the rest of the country while doing it usually in great weather!

PLEAZE!!

Beat the hell out of watchin' water run or sweepin' off that steep ass piece of concrete you call a driveway (unless you moved).

Congrats!

Mike,
He's still working the events, they had another opening and I couldn't let it pass by. Not much of a turnover since there's only a total of 30 people involved.
Zack had been talking to Gregg on my behalf........Good son for sure!

Gregg is a good guy for sure...............Although he just dropped a notch for NOT telling me about that opening The best bennifit you'll get from this as I can see it will be getting to know Walter Rainwater if you don't already know him. He's the bible book of knowledge for Kawasaki when it comes to tech information. You're one lucky man Dan in many ways.
