The Atlas 650 -750 motor was indeed a good motor, but suffered from bad vibrations at higher revs, The Triumphs were a smoother running motor,but their single downtube frame was much inferior to Nortons featherbed, I never owed either, but I had a tuned Tiger 110 in a BSA frame that would beat many of them. great days.

If its anything like the backpack brushcutter its slow, massively underpowered for a fourstroke so generally shite

we are near the end of the growing season now, so you may not see any recovery till next year, but those slabs over much of the root plate, cimbined with this being a drought year have not helped it. Without disturbing the slabs, a few watering cans around the exposed side twice a week during dry periods may help it, or a hose if no ban. Ideally you dont have paving (unless porous) directly under the canopy

Hi, I am looking to go down the tracked route but I have a few concerns. For example. What happens if your machine breaks down on site? How do you get it moving again? What happens if one of the tracks breaks? Thanks

My local dealer tried to sell me a 4stroke Honda hedge cutter- can’t remember the model. Felt very heavy and cumbersome. Bought an Echo HCH185ES instead for less money and so far very happy with it 👍

I reckon that is the plan but he is too stubborn to stand aside, so will be played like a puppet from behind the scenes

I seem to remember some very expensive Ducati bikes had to change from fiberglass tanks to steel or aluminum because of that . The " wide line " featherbed frame was very popular in my day for housing Triumph and BSA engines . Thing is there was not much wrong with the Norton Atlas engine I thought.

Slept through. Aided by a fair bit of local Raki! Windy here, will be hunting a spot for her to get laid out without getting sandblasted! Backed, Eerier.

There’s a member on here utterly obsessed with “ rape” maybe he will feel some sympathy for the child on this occasion. Another rape by another bogus asylum seeker. The attack sent shockwaves across Scotland and prompted the country’s first angry protests against asylum hotels. Extraordinary images suggest Nikzad’s trip through Italy, Germany and France before arriving on British soil was more of a luxury tourist adventure rather than a fight to flee persecution or danger. The social media images show the migrant posing gleefully outside some of the world’s most famous landmarks, including Rome’s Colosseum, Cologne Cathedral, as he made his way to the UK to claim ‘refuge’. One picture shows him sporting a North Face puffa jacket, worth more than £300, and smiling in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris as the sun sets. TRENDING

Hello. I have a Mountain Ash tree (I think) growing out of my patio. It has for the last couple of years seemed to have less foliage than before and some of the leaves show brown edges. I have had to cut off a number of smaller dead branches. It is a bit better this year but overall doesn’t look very healthy especially on one side. I have also noticed a few points where the bark seems to be missing but only small patches. If anyone has any insights or advice it would be appreciated. It has been there for a long time so I would rather keep it! Thank you.
