Blackwing Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I'm in a real rut. Lost my Dad 5 weeks ago.The family vultures are lawyering up as i type to contest the minuscule estate. My mothers just about to have to go into a home because of her Alzheimer's and especially thanks to the ongoing economic crunch and the latest nail in the coffin.... Campbell and the fucking liberal's tax grab (it's called the HST) my renovation business is on life support. Since the HST came in to effect in July (12.5% tax on renovation materials and labor) i have only received one fucking phone call since August 2nd.I own a registered and fully OSHA /licensed/LTD company but that's soon to be no more. As a person who never worked under the table,always paid the taxes,compo fees,gets permits and only does things by the book I'm officially a dinosaur. The whole fucking industry has gone underground (One year ago i had 5 employees, now zip, nada i had to layoff my last employee last week) Time to sell off my toys and go and get blind fucking drunk for the first time in 17 years. Make an offer on all or any of it.It's all listed locally so it may be sold there first.

This is exactly hope it looks currently. Stock 1st gen SV 650 parts good rear swing arm, two rear rims (silver&black) Arrow front fork brace 2007 GSXR front Calipers I have way more shit,I'll post it when i go through my spares tomorrow. 2002 XR650R I'm the second owner.It was bought new in 2007 She's loaded with Talon hub,excel 17" rims,Ohlins forks,offset emgo billet triple,Full Baja kit,lights signals horn etc, rebuilt rear shock,Motomaster 4 pot billet calipers with 310 mm disks,Brembo radial master and braided lines all around,with new HH green brake pads all around.Almost new set of Pirelli super corsa pro's tires on it. it was street registered in Michigan but i exported it into Canada so i don't know what you would have to do to re-register it in the states. street legal 2008 Husky TE450 power up kit and motard kit installed. 2000 miles It's only been ridden for a couple of track days and the rest is street miles.I have all the lights,signal etc for it Helimot Back protector XL new only worn once for a few minutes Size 12 Alpinestar tech 8 MX boots new only tried on Size 12 Sidi Flex force SRS boots yellow (medium) Super moto soles installed Haul mark 6X12 foot trailer single axle. decent shape I would like to keep it if i can but I also have a 2008 Husky TE450 power up kit and motard kit installed I'll list tools in another thread.

IcePrick Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Wow. Sorry for the loss of your Dad. The pain is doubled watching the siblings fight over scraps like alley dogs - I've seen it before. I wish there was something I could say or do. Size 12 boots are too big for me. I hope things improve for you, the folks "up there", and here as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Sorry to hear about your pain. No pictures of the Big Red Pig? XRR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat830 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Sorry about your mother and father. 12.5% tax on renovation materials and labor, is that on top of all the other taxes in Canada? Socialism at it's finest. Fucking ever increasing in numbers government employees have never had to worry about the next customer needed to keep the business rolling, they need to be put out to pasture.

RXX Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I am so sorry to hear of your loss and I am incensed about the harmonized sales tax. We are next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC Randy Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hang in there-there's a point where things can only get better and it sounds like you are there. I feel for the legitimate people in your line of work. Here in the Wichita, KS, the so called air capitol of the world, we have had massive layoffs in the aircraft industry(Cessna, Beech, Learjet, and Boeing) since the economy has taken a dump. Unfortunatly for the honest people in your type of business, there have been a lot of laid off aircraft workers underbidding jobs and working on a cash basis. They even had a segment on the local news telling the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
