Busa ??? Build quality I like my hondas, just sold my CB1300-SA5

First thing to check is where the harness crosses over the gearbox bell housing, if there's no rubbing through there undo the whole fuse carrier infront of the gear lever and leave it loose and see if it still does it, sometimes it get a bit cramps behind the fuses and wires can rub and touch

I have a grass cutting contract which used to take me a really hard day for two men. I invested in equipment and have now got it down to 3 solid hours each cut. Price for the job not per hour

I've worked out that at the rate you eating fuses that box of 2000 will last you 38 years Might end up having to split them

I had a Blackbird and it was brilliant at speed, most I did was 165 mph and bottled it, I put a top box on with hardly any weight in and with that on if you took your hands of the bars it got a right wobble on, bricked myself first time. Did cadwell a couple of times on a cb600 now thats fun and a cracking stress reliever

I hope you didnt do 144 with all that weight on, dont you get a bit of steering wobble with the weight so far back?

why would a member of the public have been iinjured I.m not a machine. I can turn on and off and stop working. Taping off 5 gardens of which you need permision to enter and time to get permission and setup is taking things a bit far. Awareness of your surroundings is the best safety device and thats why

He's 91 ....he' got an excuse.... I went to london to see for myself and found the underground quite amusing I think the underground is a breeding den for ignorance and selfishness, infact to be fair, I reckon ANY inner city is full of ignorant selfish twerps north or south

One thing I would do if I got another would be to fly-post all the commercail premises in my area. A Condition of most commercail insurances is that the premises have to have their guttering cleaned yearly. I got into it for a few months before the machine up ended Getting a few contracts like that would pay your HP Oh and outreach is most important

If you are going to get a mewp to hire out, then it has to be one that is a bit specail. Standard Hire companies have the 15m mewps left right and centre, so you will have a lot of competition, if you go for a bigger tracked versions like my 18m they become complicated and without training no good to hire out without operator When I bought mine, the finance was £650 a month, I used it myself and got about two hires a month with operator at £350 a day (sounds expensive but remember they are not hiring just a mewp, they are hiring a trained climber and tree surgeon) which paid for the finance and I got free use of the machine. Be warned though, dont buy one if you have to rely on hire to finance the payments. You can earn the same money doing tree work without the complications and headaches of owning and hiring a mewp. They are expensive to maintain and repair so only buy new not second hand. If you want to hire without operator, go for the 15m machine from Promax in Barnsley, they are easy to setup but all the hire companys have them so hire rates are low but at least you dont have to be with it. You would have to ring up for insurance quotes buit make sure you tell them its for hire and for all types of use not just tree work

You can tell it isn't me filling the basket them Liam Thats the first and only time she has got me to go shopping with her in 10 years, so took a foto

In my spare time I............ Go Shopping Argue with Boris Paint yellow lines Look after stray Babies

Yes, I found that out with a tax bill 4 times higher than normal

Nice one...I'll remember that one Steve Last one I did I used the mewp leg

They only sell barrier tape in abundance down south where people have no common sense and need guiding like sheep. Southerner in a city centre are like that arcade game there used to be where they carry on in the same direction till they hit the barrier tape then change direction, then remove the tape and they fall off the edge of something We dont need barrier tape up here, we just throw logs or spray chip at people normally and tell them not to be so stupid

Tyres are dead easy to take off and on its breaking the bead that is hard.. All I do is lay the wheel and tyre flat on a board on the ground and drive the front wheel of the truck over the tyre going as close to the rim as possible, this normally pulls the tyre down off the rim. Dont do this on a good tyre btw

The thought never even entered my head, I knew exactly what the thread was going to be

But to him you are only a wipper snapper Liam and beside that he'd probably deck you with his zimmer

Another little experiment to see if a cutting will root out of season in a cup of a potion. Got a cup and filled it with cotton wool then topped it up with a water/plant food mix, then took the cutting, dipped it in rooting gel and carefully placed it in the middle of the cotton wool. Will it die or will it root ??

Did a Horsechestnut take down today that overhangs a few gardens. The usual happened where everyone comes out and gawps at what you are doing. Normally they stay a safe distance, albeit normally down wind in line of the saw dust cloud This guy, bless him was 91 and wanted to get close in on the action, standing right under branches I was roping down etc, the job took twice as long as it was supposed to because I'm too nice to tell him to bog off out the way Eventually he wandered off up his garden which allowed us to crack on. I'll remember to add " Watch out for senile 91 year old" in risk ass next time Neigbours can be a pain sometimes, I do like a gab but there's limited time for that

I want to sit down, put my feet up and drink tea in a wood

Yep, thats a pollard... did you make the mast for the evil boat out of the bit you cut off Josh

I got.................. up at 5.30am and took the dogs fitness training on the canal The fitness training was for the dogs not me Made myself a cup of tea and a slice of toast, chatted to Stevie on the phone, kids got up and grunted and that was it
