credit crunch affecting retrobikers?

Thorpie · Oct 1, 2008

I must say Guybe I think it is because as you pointed out, a few months ago people were falling over each other to buy stuff. I have had to work really hard to sell anything in the last couple of weeks, usually for a lot less than I originally paid!

Another thing I have always wondered about such matters is if they were not reported and spoke about every single day on every single news programme would there even be a credit crunch? Is it a state of mind?

Not currently....thankfully I bought enough parts to build 5 bikes in the last 12 months so I've got plenty to be going on with

Also sold my house and am currently holed up with the g/f and renting VERY cheaply with profits from house sale locked in the bank (as long as they don't go Tits Up :shock: )

I totally agree, I think the fall of northern rock was at least 30% down to the BBC and the likes stirring up a whirlwind.

And its still going on.

wall street in the thirties started by a que of people outside a bank.others got the idea they were panicking and started pulling their money out...its the sheep mentality ....stand in a street one day and lookup ....see how many others start doing the same thing....nothing changes....ho hum..

It will all affect us in a few months when it beds in...

However at the moment things are looking ok on the Web front...

Secure in the knowledge that my job is bombproof, and so is my wife's, I am now waiting for someone to realise that they don't need that 16" RC200 after all......
