General Discussion / Any old boys still here ?

« on: October 20, 2023, 09:46:51 am »

When this forum started , there were lots of riders on here that have ridden around 75-85 . Things have gone very quiet. Anyone still around and active?

Peter , what I meant to say , what to look for when nearing pension /retirement age .I am looking for advice from people that have gone through the normal retiring process ( not disability). I am looking for things that you would have done different , if you had a second chance , when preparing your self . Things like :how to declare your bikes , camper van , tools , purchases , sales etc , before filling out any government forms or declarations .

Thanks Peter for that advice . Has actually anyone gone through this valuation process and is willing to share that experience ?

Interesting question Peter. How are parts valued for the asset test ?  Lets say you have couple of Vincent engines laying around to exaggerate the point a bit .

First question : How many bikes are you allowed to own and how are they valued ?

Around the campfire the other day ,people talked about future retirement , pensions and asset test . Like many of us , we own a bike or two and maybe some other toys. When I thought about there are a few questions that may arise . Some of you have already done through this or others may have the knowledge to contribute . Because there are many angles to this transition , I will bring each question separately .

Single zylinder set ups are pretty simple . 5 mains  5 pilots  screwed to a alu plate . 10 hol;es >10 threads . Multis are a different story . For the Dellortos I use a  old metal Metabo Drill case , kitted it out with foam compartents to contain the different slides , needles , jet  plates and spares . I must say it was used more by others to help  them out on the day ,than by myself . If van engine is on song , the plug looks right , I leave it alone.

Thanks PMC , that is a great price and also made in Australia . Always got special dies taps and reamers made in Switzerland , but if I can get that in Australia in H6 tolerance and top quality ,I would be mad not to get them here. I will contact them . Thanks again. That forum still works great when you are looking for the impossible sometimes.
