    Have you got $$$'s in the shed?

    Quite an extensive list of bikes recently sold at a big auction in 'Mercka.

    Some of the prices surprised me.

    I currently have very tidy examples of : 1990 CR500, 1983 CR480, 1982 XR500, 1970 QA50 and 1974 QA50

    I picked this up in the 1990's for NZ$2500 with the engine in boxes.
    They have gone up a bit in asking price since then, the same decade I grabbed two H2A's. ($1700 for the pair in separate sales to go along with the H2B I already had since 1980)

    Although all look immaculate, the US dirt bike prices have skyrocketed.
    I still have quite a few RM125S parts and two 1968 MF Husqvarna's in storage (along with my 86 WR400)

    yip, and other japanese brands ran their tyres from the factory. One day they were asked if they wanted to continue racing and winning against these brands, or supply them tyres. they chose to do tyres

    we are in the middle of 'go brandons' energy transition ... "the new green deal" ... higher prices are permanent ... we are feeling supply side inflation now, next comes demand and service side inflation ... inflation is growing and has become detached from intervention ... demand for non-critical goods is contracting at the same time prices are rising = stagflation ... means jobs are about to go as food fuel and energy prices keep increasing ... we are looking at 30+% inflation at least coming down the pike faster than you can drive parts of the A5 autobahn (some stretches have no speed limit)

    credit markets will be hurting by end of 2022 as consumers cant meet payment - loans, credit cards, mortgages - defaults will break many families

    if you havent bought a house this year you are ahead financially ... equity and values are plummeting

    if you dont own your own home now you will become one of klaus schwabs 'you will own nothing and be happy' people and this will make our friendly horse-faced "jackal" wet between the legs
    Be who you are and say what you feel cos those who mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind.
