    Best personal loan experiences ever, PSIS!

    I borrowed from PSIS to buy my first brand spanking new bike.

    Oamaru Motorcycles, Honda, PSIS and me, great combination! Cheers John.

    (Thinks: I Must renew my membership someday, PSIS, Oamaru Motorcycles, Honda and me, we are are all still out there!)

    I have no experience with PSIS in relation to loans. But I do in other matters, and I will confidently say that they have the second best customer service ethos I have ever encountered (the best was Morris Black and Matheson) . I would recommend PSIS unreservedly.

    It took a long time to get out of my silly teenage angst depression shit. The loan on my VFR sent me back.

    Personally, I've never bought something I couldn't pay for there and then, apart from my education. I figure with a ~$60k student loan waiting for me at the end of next year, the last thing I should be doing is running up debt with anyone else.
    My signature is cooler than yours.

    Yes, for a sports car. Never regretted it a second.
    Ride fast or be last.

    If that's the case, MDU's wife definitely came from a different factory than mine did.



    Worst financed investment I ever made...

    If you can't afford it out of your bank account, or if you can't afford to insure it, you can't afford it.
    yep thats so true ,
    ill remember that when im riding one of 2 bikes or driving the car .
    oh yes thats right . forgot about the big bus thats going to run me down in 2 days .

    Sounds about right.

    My single ex cost a quarter, so four... yup.

    Ah well.

    Some motherfucker's gotta propagate the species, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna leave it to the darkies.

    I've never had a personal loan,just one bike on tick when I was 18 (1972) I pay everything cash or I don't have it.Had one mortgage,but didn't want to go through that again - lowered my sights and bought this place cash.Then I got a mortgage on my asset for improvements.We did buy a fridge when we were renovating this place,the perfect time for the old one to die - so got one of those no interest,no payment for a year jobs...and paid it off lump sum one week before time.

    Living this way means I've never owned a flash late model bike - but I'm always happy with the bikes I do have.
