People are sure proud of their R90s's. It must be made of gold or sumthin'.

That is cheap - I have seen them advertised for $22,000
Problem is Australia's retirement laws.
If you have any financial assets they are deemed to be earning 4 1/2 % and you loose a good whack off your pension, as I have just recently discovered - I have been docked $85- a week and I have less than the minimum recommended for a "modest" lifestyle. As far as they know--------.
But if I bought $150,000- worth of bikes I would get the full pension as other assets they are not considered to be earning, so you dont loose the pension, or miss the income too much.
And you have the pleasure of ownership and the possibility of capital gain at some point.
So there are a good few retirees paying silly money for bikes they think will appreciate in value.
I was at a "club" rally last weekend and there was this row of fossils on their Vincents- made me feel like a youngster.
None of them knew the first thing about them, and one pretty average bike was for sale for $90,000-, $20,000- more than the best Vincent made at the last Pebble Beach auction.
Anyone have a nice clean Velocette Venom they want to sell ? Or thirty!
