  1. France has had compulsory ID cards since 1940 They have NOT STOPPED: 1) the invasion by Germany 2) the entry by illegal immigrants in to France 3) the terrorist attacks by internal and external terrorist cells!
  2. I think that is Dyers Mazegill, non edible, but used for its dye, hence the name.
  3. As GarethM has said, push the lever to the full return position and the lever will remain in that position retract fully and stop, push it part way and when its at the required distance back, let go of the lever and it will stop wherever it is currently. this feature would suit your style of splitting varying lengths
  4. one thing I should mention, when I converted mine to single lever operation It retained the option to stop the ram returning all the way, so in effect if you're splitting logs half the length of total ram travel you are effectively doubling the ram speed as you only need to return it halfway. I'm not sure if your current splitter has the same operating functions.
  5. And it would be impolite not to include this.
  6. This is when I first found him and his talent.
  7. I used a large motorcycle chain link, all the hyd levers on my tractor are the same.
  8. good call, Alternately it is entirely possible to agree with someones post without engaging with those that oppose it, it appears often the problem start not when the post is originally made, but by the usual few that simply cannot accept any viewpoint other than their own and choose to pursue the poster with much venomous diatribe. and it isn't long before the rest join in. isn't there some advice about not feeding trolls. an example would be a joke is posted, you have multiple choices, laugh at it, and decide whether or not to place a "like,,laugh,etc", from the list provided. don't find it at all funny, move on look for something else. it serves no logical purpose to add derogatory comments and take up time whining about the jokes content, or using it to relentlessly attack the poster, and then accuse them of being the problem.

  10. I feel ahead of the game already Sviatoslav, I have Zetor tractor,big chaisaws, russian winter hat, and just need ak47 to complete the set.
  11. seen the guy before, he's excelent. and she is too.
  12. even more confused now Stubby, as the post shows it was posted by capetown ?? but I'll chase up your request
  13. ????
  14. a feckin' sight better than a creaky old bastard with an axe. and dead easy to convert to single lever operation.
  15. UK is finished, decent working people are being shafted by labor, and previously by tories, reform won't cure the problem as no matter how much sugar you put on sh1t, it's still sh1t. they will all lie to us to get in power then line their pockets in the relatively short time they have, because being the "opposition" is easy, just disagree with whoever is in the hot seat. and when they get their chance they bend us over and it's just a different prick. to be honest some of the feckers on here could start an argument in an empty room, and seem to search the forums for somebody to attack, and often for some long lost dispute from years ago. the way things are going at the moment within this country I'll wager any forum that has a section that covers politics is much the same. the country is sick to death of immigrant invasion, rape gangs, bent politicians, cover up after cover up, is it any wonder discord is rife. you can ban people, you can ban discussion on this or any other forum, but you cant cure the problem by ignoring it, hiding it, or hiding from it, people will feel the same, division will still exist. just my opinion, there are others.
  16. I have the very same model and I agree 100%, starts 1st pull, works all day and nothing has beaten it yet.
  17. what feckin' thread am I on, they're all starting to look the feckin' same!
  18. I honestly don't remember anything about the heads,Stubby, to be fair it was a long while ago, I can't even remember the blokes surname. only Gary something.
  19. not sure about the heads, but it had a single inch and a 1/16th amal instead of the usual 7/8", and yes it was Golden and I had a go on it, the brakes were feckin' crap, far too small and ineffective for the performance. as it happens I have a new amal inch and 1/16th carb in the shed, never been on a bike, 300 odd quid now.
  20. "Never a giant octopus around when ya feckin' need one"
  21. I recall racing one belonging to a mate, his was the "super sports" version, as I had a Tribsa with a tiger 110 motor I thought it would be a walkover, I got quite the surprise when he took off from the line, and seemed quicker than I anticipated, he kept with me to just over 80 and then I left him behind in the distance. the ariel was bog standard, they did have a bit of a following back then, but most had c15,s ss80,s, tiger cubs,royal enfields, ajs/matchless, even a few francis barnets. I saw a few tuned versions later and they were even quicker. IIRC they were good in the twisties, the low center of gravity helped no doubt.
