Debt Consolidation Loans

Debt Consolidation Loans

Debt- it adds a lot of troubles to our life. Debt-burden, harassing and untimely calls by creditors make our life so terrible. We look for the way to come out of debt-danger. And Debt Consolidation loans are the ultimate one to get rid of this danger.

Through debt consolidation loan, you can reduce the burden of your all debts and consolidate all into one that is more convenient to repay. For example you have taken loans from three different creditors at three different interest rates. Debt consolidation will provide you with an opportunity where you take single consolidated loan at lower interest rate from a new creditor.

Generally, Debt consolidation loans are offered in two forms, secured debt consolidation loans and unsecured debt consolidation loans. You will get secured debt consolidation loans against your property, and with these loans, you can borrow loans ranging from £5,000 to £75,000. Secured debt consolidation loans are secured against your collateral. Hence, lenders charge a low rate of interest for secured debt consolidation loans.
Whereas, for unsecured loans no collateral is required. Thus, it carries a comparatively higher rate of interest. Nevertheless, by taking unsecured debt consolidation loans, you can stay on the safe side, as your property is not at risk. You can borrow an Unsecured Debt Consolidation Loan ranging from £5,000 to £25,000.

At the same time, you should keep it in your mind that after debt consolidation loans you may again fall into debt-trap. But don't worry. You can prevent it by some proper steps, like counseling, making a budget of your expenditure etc.

However, Debt consolidation loans are facilitated with a number of facilities. With debt consolidation loans, the rate of interest at which repayments were made is lower. Therefore there will be a possibility of lower monthly installments and a repayment plan, which will be totally designed to your requirement.

Debt consolidation loans are also obtainable for those persons, who have a bad credit history, arrears, bankruptcy or CCJs. But in this case, lenders will charge higher interest rate as the risk involved higher.
So are you planning to consolidate you all loans into one? Then first of all do some calculations regarding your debt. See how much of total debts can you pay right away to lessen the burden. Next, shop for the best deal. Apart from traditional lenders like bank or financial institution, you can opt for online lenders.

Watsonian Squire Centenary Celebration at Stoneleigh Park, 2012

On the weekend of 18-19th August I was invited along to the Watsonian Squire Centenary celebrations at Stoneleigh Park.  A great range of sidecar outfits turned up over the weekend coming from not only the UK and Europe but Japan too. Couple that with a great display of historic sidecars, free test rides on Royal Enfields, guest speakers including 16-times Isle of Man TT champion Dave Molyneux, 9-times winner Mick Boddice and 1960′s TT veteran Norman Hanks and Stan Dibben and don't forget the specially brewed bitter Mr Watson’s Bit on the Side a fantastic weekend was had by all., Watsonian Squire patented the first foldable sidecar in 1912 which allowed residents of terraced housing to fit their sidecar outfit down the side passage. Ever since Watsonian have been and still are producing sidecars for a variety of different uses, including ambulances, trials and racing outfits amongst many others. For more information on Watsonian Sidecars please visit their website:

watsonian-squire.com


Until now I haven't sketched a sidecar outfit so this weekend was a great opportunity to get to grips with the complexity of not only a sidecar but the accompanying motorcycle too, here are the results from the weekend.

1933 1150cc Brough Cruiser Sidecar

(ink sketch)

This sidecar outfit has been featured in both George & Mildred and Dad's Army. The bulbous shape of the sidecar was what originally attracted me to sketch this. It definitely made a good warm up for the weekend ahead.


2001 Heritage Soft Tail with V-Triebwerk Sidecar

(digitally painted ink sketch)

 This certainly was a great machine to sketch as it had all the classic Harley looks coupled with a Watsonian style sidecar. 
The sidecar was built by a German sidecar maker V-Triebwerk, who incorporated the softail suspension which can be seen below.


Lambretta L1150 series 2 with Watsonian Bambini Mk. 1 and PAV Tralier


(digitally painted ink sketch)

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to sketch this quirky outfit. The Bambini sidecar was especially resurrected from the shed for the centenary. Topping the outfit off with the PAV trailer made it quite a sight to behold. The owner told me that the scooter had been in the shed for 27 years and had previously been used to travel around Spain for six months.



Triumph 140e with Charwood Meteor Sidecar


(digitally painted ink sketch)

 The sidecar shape evolved from casts taken from Mustang belly tanks giving them an aesthetic connection with the belly tank racers developed by Bill Burke (as featured in a previous post).


A restoration project for sale possibly Watsonian?

(ink sketch)

Royal Enfield Bobber

(digitally painted ink sketch)

Even though this was not a sidecar outfit I had to take the opportunity to sketch it as the stance and lines were great on this custom Royal Enfield, especially the extra wide handle bars.
 The build was done by Bruce Maconoche Classic Custom at Oxfordshire Royal Enfield.
 

Here are some more highlights of the show:


 Soviet Outfit
(a work in progress according to the owner)

 This outfit traveled all the way from Japan, and not by container. It was ridden all the way!

 This Triumph Rocket outfit was incredible, the sidecar was custom built to enable the riders son to access it in his wheelchair. The sidecar even had its own handlebars with working instruments.

Royal Enfield 350/Watsonian ISDT winning outfit from 1953.

This immaculate restoration is a real labour of love with all the fine details attended to. I especially liked the stone catchers on the wheels,  such a simple design which pulls out stones in order to avoid punctures.


 BSA Motorcycle Spares outfit.
 For the die hard sidecar enthusiast.

 A fantastic child's sidecar for a pedal bike.
