    How much do you owe?

    alot of nice new machinery has been "paraded" on Kiwibiker recently. In the past we have had "what do you owe on your bike" threads, this poll expands that theme.

    [excluding mortgages and student loans], what do you owe on credit cards/finance/HP's/personal loans?

    Yeah, me too.

    No option in the poll buddy. Less than $1000 doesn't cut it.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Absolutely zip, not a penny

    No mortgage, No HPs, loans or the such like. Just the usual weekly expenses and household bills

    Zero here too. Well I owe about 5 grand on my credit card but none of it is interest bearing and itll be paid before it is.

    Always had a philosophy to never borrow on an "asset" that depreciates

    I have no disposable income available with which to service any loan therfore I sensibly have not got any loans (and only have a $6,500 bike!)

    Same here... nothing. No loans, nothing owed to anybody.

    I still owe i think about 2K for the FZ, i could easily pay this off right now with savings. but then i would have less respect for her.
    i think the credit card is sititng on about 1K this month cos i bought an xbox ha.
    that will be back to zero before month end.

    Student loan + taking the max number of papers per year :P

    Discounting that, then nothing, there's even a postive balance on my credit card.

    Owe the better part of $4k to a mate for my current bike, and somewhere in the realm of $8k to my father for the last one. Paying off at around $350 per week at the moment ($100 to one, $250 the other) and should be debt free by xmas by the time the money a couple of people owe me comes through.

    Been thinking lots lately about my current 'dream' bike and if it weren't for existing debts i would have it now

    Sucks having the internet because you get to look at all the nice exausts/levers/rearsets/suspension/wheels etc you can put on the bike you want. Can't complain though i've had/got some pretty grouss toys, and other people even let me crash their bikes for them!

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Currently owe nothing on my bike as it was so cheap (and shit), but owe my mum $3000 for my truck. Mums are goodEspecially when they live bout a 1000 kays away.
