Posted: Sat Apr 11, 2015 2:22 pm Post subject: Garage Rent |
|
|
Technically it's a licence to park in a garage but anyway ...
I have a garage in London it's the only way I can afford to own a bike because classic insurance dictates it. Now because I'm not a Camden Council resident I have to pay X3 the cost of a resident. Ok so not great but at £132 pcm it's not the end of the world.
This year's rent increase is £50 pcm .... that's 37% !!! They've done nothing different they're not going to do anything either.
I'm not sure £182 a month is worth it _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

Maybe you could find someone to share the garage with you? _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

There are 3.8 bikes in there. I did have a guy sharing before but it was a bit of a pain. _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

I currently have 9 complete bikes in my shed (soon to be 10 hopefully) but only 5 are in one piece 😀. The others are a little scattered 😳 _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

Well the 9th is just a bit of fun... recently bought a XR200r, awesome little dirt bike. The 10th I can't say too much about just yet as the deal isn't set in stone yet. It's not a Bimota but is something I've been trying to get my hands on for many years, since '93 actually when they were released in fairly limited numbers. _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

Ha, I just noticed the XR is already on my signature. The other one that I counted in the 9 doesn't belong to me but resides in my shed...

Ah....I thought that maybe it was your mate that sticks a Duc in there from time to time...
Always wanted an XR200 for some reason as a kid....ended up with a KDX200 that I had many a happy time with when living in Scotland...used to keep it on a farm where the Farmer had a thousand acres or so for us to run around on...(or about the size of your back yard in Aussie terms Brian...)
Love the old Endure style bikes....Wanted an IT175...IT465...KLX650....XR650...etc etc...
piccies of XR please....heading to ebay now to relive those days... |

Have ridden a XR600 and was way too tall, too heavy and too powerful for me... XR200 is a good size for me and goes pretty hard too. IT465, wow what a weapon they were
Will post a pick of the XR when I can get my young fella's arse off it _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

Looks like buying the bike is the cheap part of the deal
I enjoy looking at mine every time I grab a cold beer
So I see a lot of it _________________ Hursty from kiwi land |
