Re:
so i haven't been on here much recently, the shop has been so busy that it's taking over completely! :shock: but i don't think that is a bad thing but it has been an interesting time since my last post on this thread.
ok, first things first, the VAT man, maybe he's not that bad :shock: i got a rebate from him the first time, it was a fair chunk of money because i didn't realise i could claim back the VAT on all the stock i currently had in stock, this totalled nearly £7,000!
so i saved as much money as i could on top and went van shopping!
accidentally bought this, first brand new vehicle i have ever had, i love it:-

i would also point out that this does not mean i am earning a fortune, as i sold the old van which was personally mine i am now living off that money, and the new van is all through the business, i paid a big deposit and the rest in on finance for 4 years but the payment each month is half what i was paying myself so technically the business is better off until i have to start paying myself again when the van sale money runs out which for me should be about 12 to 18 months as i am generally a hermit!!
something else that was good is that i finally got my Gixxer back on the road!

i have also built 2 more Demon Frameworks bikes, the first is a retro styled bike, copper plated with cream paint, based on a Campagnolo Athena groupset with Royce hubs, H+son rims, Vittoria tyres, a Rene Herse chainset with Pauls component brakes.
