I know how ya feel Ja' itz been years for me and every time I see a nice machine cruze by I feel like life is passing me by. I'm after a zzr11 with very low k's and there around 10K privately. I got 6K put aside now, should have the rest in 2-3 months barring catastrophes! Every time I see a mint one pop up on bikepoint itz almost too much to bear :cry:

They r a nice bike. if it was me and wanted it, i would get a small loan to make up the rest

But I just love banks

they dont like ME! Not after I dudded them on a credit card. Stupid to give someone thousands of dollars just because they have a job and a fixed adress. What were they thinking :roll:

I defaulted alright, I took the money and RAN :lol:

It's a long story... OK, I'll tell it.

I got some tires fitted one day and the salesman talked me into a set of shocks too but the trouble was I didn't have the cash. "no probs" he said "we got a line of finance here!" so 3 minutes and a phone call later and this mob "I wont say their name" ok's me $300 for new shocks all round. So I pay the dosh back in a fortnight and then a month later they send me a CC in the mail, I didn't ask for it BTW! I used it, it was for 2k, and after 6 months I was leaving my job and going back to full time study, so I cut the card in half and sent it back with a letter telling them never to send me another cause I would be on a reduced income and could not afford it. Fair enough? Well 6 months later the pricks sent me another one :evil:

And by that stage I was making the final "painful" adjustments to living on austudy and sending me the card was like dropping amphetamines on the table at a rehab. I swooped on the bastard, had it maxed out in two months, and then with no way to pay it back promptly threw it in the bin. along with the statements that continued to arrive of course.

As far as i'm concerned "THEY WERE WARNED" and itz their own stupid greedy fault for getting dudded. I'm on the black list for a while now but I don't mind. I learnt to save and now I have cash in the bank and don't owe anyone a cent!

When you don't owe anything to "the man"
You are "the man"

You sound like me. I would have done the same, but now I am on a tight budget, due to my ex girlfriend sopending all my money.
That's why she is now my ex. Cos i have no more money to spend on her, so she left..
But that is another story, one to tell over 3 beers or 10

:drinkers:

Some women :roll:

its too hot to think today. I went down to whales kawasaki at springwood, took my lid and jacket and all with me and they had 2 ZZR's there. This older "like me" salesman came out and we talked bike for a bit but I didn't have the heart to take one out for a test. He agreed, it's just too freeking HOT!! They had a nice old XZ12R up the road at the honda mob, that would have been my first choice of bike had they designed it a bit more laid back.

they did, its called a ZZR1100, you can get them for a good price, and they will do *most* everything you could want........

ps - check your status re: credit cards, defaults are held on the system for years and years, it can be a right pain in the coight if you need money for a house.........( I had shitloads of issues with the CRA back in the late '80s...... :evil:

YES! That's why I want one!!!!!!!!!
I looked at the 1200 but people are saying bad things about it and no one ever said bad things about the original ZZR so that's the pick for me.
As for banks and credit, loans and houses, well this ain't the first forum I ever went to. I have spent the last 2 years researching the global financial system, the banks and how they "create" money for loans and I have studied the housing markets too. I wont go into any of it as it would only scare people but as for buying a house, at this point in time.... Well read this and see what you think. This is the Google PDF conversion
version.

It's by this dude at the university of nsw.
Itz windy but the gist of it this, The housing price increases we have seen "a doubling every 10 years" has only occurred since 1970, but since this was when computers came on line and mass storage with them, the average person in the street only looks back this far for their data. Before 1970 they doubled over 20 years and before that they went the other way. Home prices are overinflated to buggery and it's all due to speculation and the western economic system of inflation. All indicators point to a massive debt shedding across the western world and the revaluing of all markets and commodities. "Deflation" What goes up... must come down.
If I had millions the last place I would put it now would be real-estate.

So stuff the banks! I'll rent forever or marry a wealthy land-owner-ess :wink:

Is that your bike Ronster? It's beautiful

I actually have 8grand saved but the other 2grand is set aside as just savings for a rainy day. One of the ZZR's down at the bike shop today was a 97 with 48000 on the clock for $8500 AND BLACK!. I could have bought the little girl then and there I reckon, but patience.... PATIENCE!!!!
