Global financial crisis - what does it mean to you
« on: January 23, 2009, 07:56:04 pm »
I actually kringe at the term now but at a grass roots level a lot of my friends have lost their jobs and now I believe that my one is on shaky ground as well! It's pretty hard to budget for a motor rebuild for my RM when I'm not even sure what the hell I'll be doing for a living next month!

With the relative values of the US and UK and Aussie currencies changing so fast, I take great care now when buying from overseas suppliers to get it organised so I can buy at the right time eg its a great time right now for buying from the UK which is where the best twinshock trials bits come from and terrible for buying from the US.

What's going on with rug sucking Ross, my mate Macca is a rug sucker in Melbourne and he's got more work than he can handle too.

Back to the thread , I have heard and viewed lots about that looming crisis , but touch wood so far we cant feel it yet. Althoug I have noticed people now opt for less bells and wistles. Harleys are still booming , modern stuff is on a steady decline , scooters and small bikes are rising  and classic racing is as steady as .

No difference for me. Well, our mortgage provider won't let us lock our interest rates in, at any level.

I reckon the mining and construction related guys will feel it first, then retail - and in the retail world, it will be the 'bling' stuff that gets hit hardest.

With the benefit of 20-20 hindsight, I think that a lot of industries have been bloated for a while now, and we should not have been looking at the recent economic situation as being 'normal' - in the foreseeable future, we're going to over-compensate which will suck for lots of people - but that's the price that we will collectively pay. :(

Hilly, damn!
