One reason I use Aspen

Spoke to my local dealer yesterday about getting a full pallet of it delivered directly but he recond with the discount I get I'd not save anything apart from the convenience of not having to pick any up but as I get 9 or12 at a time and normaly pass the dealer at least once a fortnight that's not a problem.

Converted 2 of my subbies now and got a regular client onto the blue cans for his classic bikes.

Only just seen your post Mr Graygit. If you are getting 10% discount from the RRP of £18.98 inc vat per 5litre can, then you will not save anything by buying a pallet.

 

I have to admit, we only offer our customers 5% on the quantities you mention, but give 10% and free delivery on a pallet of 54 (highlands and islands excepted)

 

You could have a mixed pallet of red and blue and make a bob or two reselling some of it to you motorcycle client.

Cheers garden kit, that's good to know. Think I get a good discount as I'm there biggest consumer and have sent quite a lot of new customers there way. Think I'll stick to how we do it now as normally time a restock with getting anything ells we need.

Happy to put in a good word with aspen for kieth at Sam turners, always very helpful!

hi aspen users/ dealers can you point me in the direction of the data on the health benefits/ compared to the regular 2 stroke?

thanks carl

 

Carlos, if you mix it 50/50 with petrol you can achieve half the health benefits at a little more that half the price. Could be a good compromise, if the price of straight aspen is too high....Combine that deal with a modern strato engine and your talking 1/6 of the health hazards of old style 2-stroke usage.

intresting idea hadnt really thought of it like that, but obviously its the price that puts me off.

Or use it straight but only in situations where you will not have adequate air flow, like under dense bushes on a still day. Where there is a breeze, there's no point as the fumes will be carried away anyway and you might as well use regular petrol. I used to empty the saws at days end and run a bit of aspen through them to keep the carbs and lines in good nick but don't bother anymore....
