My hobby.

[FROSTY]

I've Had a hobby/passion for a fair few years. It sometimes makes me a few dollars sometimes I break even and sometimes it looses me a few dollars.
I buy broken motorbikes and fix em up then sell em.
Sometimes they take me months to finish -sometimes only days.
It gives me the chance to own and ride bikes i otherwise could only dream of having.
It's been bugging me not being totally honest with you lot -especially when ya see me on yet another "new" bike.

Beats the hell out of collecting stamps.

Good on ya!

It's a rotten job, but someone has to do it

No worries with IRD or anyone with it or are you not trading enough?

merv I worked it out a couple of years ago.
My hobby in that 12 month period in total cost me $350.
BY that I spent $350 more than I made
Keep in mind that doesn't take into account the hours and hours of labour I put in -If i allwed that at say $30 an hour Itd be more like --aww shit i don't wannna think about it --but a lot lol
But I got to ride 4 bloody nice bikes for a couple of months each.

That could work , write your losses of to your business and get some rebates ?

[FROSTY]

Holey cow--thatd be a big rebate.

I got the same hobby - cept I make no money at all out of it.People used to just give me bikes that didn't go,sometimes to pay for some work I did,sometimes someone says they have some old bike (I'm still waiting for some dusty old unused Vincent that costs $1) If I don't like the bike I'll just leave it to rot,if it's something I might ride I'll make a runner of it.I was once given an old Puch scooter I dragged from under a hedge,it was easy to make it a runner and I used it for a couple of years as something just for fun.It wasn't registered of course - and I was determined that if it so much as even stalled at the lights I was gunna pull the plate and walk home - but it never did and someone offered me money for it.
