Like this one,, one of the first Norton widelines 1954 fitted with a 1953 all alloy triumph tiger 100 motor and box, mate has one but a bit different than mine, 1958 wideline with a modern triumph 955i motor fitted and he says its good for 150mph but dernt take it any further,,

Frankenbikes were popular back then, triton, tribsa, trifield,Villiers bantams, even Ariel Arrow bantams, Harley 45 in any frame you could squeeze it into,various engines in the wideline Norton frame, Ariel square 4, The famous Egli Vincent Even Ariel got in on it with the 650 Huntmaster/ BSA collaboration. At one time I had a 250 AJS, and discovered the 350 looked to the inexperienced eye exactly the same, for a short while my "250" was quicker than all the others, until word got out.

Aye, but there has to be a line. I might well have crossed one as I had no idea who he was, and plenty of people did. I think that's testament to the the fact I can be crass. But mostly it's testament to the fact that the organisations that run social media (not you Steve) have us in their sights. Why would I even know of the existence of Charlie Kirk? His content doesn't show up on a libtard's playlist. This is the problem. We all have common ground. We should use it.

Said it before, I will doubtless say it again. " I disagree totally with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". If an admin shuts something down, they're a censor. If they don't, they're not doing their job. Damned if you do.............................................

Oh yeah, Egmond en zee, Mobile and Pensacola...and Tappanzee.

Amongst other bikes I have fond memories of owning a YZ125. It was a water cooled bike back in the late 80's.It did get me into a bit of trouble though! I looked to buy one a few years ago and there where a few about but at some ridiculous prices! Aye one still own a motocrosser? Or should I say a scrambler.

No you edited. You need to ask nicely then... ... like I said... ...relevant one has been, what's the point? D88, F89, F173, F174, do you need dates i joined and left? MEO's names, Chief stoker's sea daddies names, killick of the mess/Jimmy the ones names on each one, which mess, official number? How about run ashores? Columbo, Karachi, Manama, somewhere in the UAE, Djibouti, Athens, Charlie's hole in the wall bar Gib, Lisbon and Estoril, Brest, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Den Helder, Hamburg, Bremen, Copenhagen, Oslo, Tromso, somewhere in the Kola inlet/Barents sea (no run ashore but a visit to the Arctic ice sheet an incident with the Admiral Isakov), Halifax NS, St John NB, Noo Yoyk, Charleston, W Palm Beach, Ft Lauderdale, Bermuda, Funchal, Freeport, Nassau, Andros, Road town BVI, I didn't get off at Ascension but we was there, Port Stanley (the Globe) and West Falkland. Might have missed a few but hey,it's been a while.

Spent a couple of days this week working with a mate over in Cognac. Four conifers to remove, two Atlas cedar and two Spanish fir. They had been topped out in the past due to the risk of lightning strike, the region is flat and these trees are the highest thing on the horizon. Two had serious damage/delamination from recent strikes, a bit iffy on the climb as the crown on the largest Cedar would twist left and right as each limb was removed. All brash chipped, saw log cut to 3.4m for the mill to uplift next week and see what is salvageable. The gardener sent some drone footage of Nico up the tree.

This is my current steed, on a trip round Ireland earlier this year.

I am wondering whatever happened to @WoodED is he still out there?

I never said that your Trakmet was a hobby mill, I said you was a hobby miller. Nice bike. 👍

Dayton Albatross. My brother got that Villiers engine from said scooter, and nearly got it fitted into something I forget what. Mine had elements of a 14/4, but it didn't start life as that. It was somewhat of a Frankenstein, I seem to remember.

The only one of relevance to swans I have named, what is it you want? Second question, Davy is the one next to me. This is around 70 of the ships company at our 40th anniversary LTBAD at the ship anson in Portsmouth, I'm behind the camera somewhere. One more time, what's your point?

Thank you. Appreciate what you say about touching, these are obviously suboptimal. Not planning on storing that long though so not expecting it to be too much of an issue, we'll eat them pretty quickly. Plus they'll be in a shed that I go in most days so will be checked frequently. The windfalls and heavily blemished ones I brought inside to be consumed straight away. If I can be bothered I might try a little experiment - rearrange them to have one crate stalk up and one crate stalk down.

Not sure what you are talking about there Joe.. this is an arb forum..

Yup, it's clear that the immigration system isn't working. Once that's sorted, what do you think would benefit society? Wealth tax on the wealthy to recoup some funds? Or just be happy there are no more boats?

Interesting how as the authority of this forum, you can find a members comments as "disgusting" yet respect their right to free speech. Some might learn from this.

That does look fairly short. Here’s mine for comparison. Foot pedals for grab and rotate would put me off.

😳😳 So nearly two hundred thousand illegals and we might get a couple of doctors 🤔I’m not sure that is good value for money. Statistically we are far more likely to get rapists and criminals.

It is all OEM. You can get a decent bit out of these 350 saws, they are light, have decent AV and can come alive with a bit of work. The comment about 346s screaming but no grunt...been out with mine today and it goes like a train on N20. I don't agree on the 357...OK, mine isn't very standard, is almost impossible to pull over with the decomp being used and it flies but each to his own, personally, most 3 series Husqvarnas are pretty special.
