A bloke I know had one done, he/ she looked a honey afterwards, albeit a 'funny honey', she is happily married to a normal fella now.

True, they do.

Fine question! It's an older syc, as said they do scale up.

I'm with Steve & huck here, no problems with them, & they are quick to use requiring no tools. Simple tips; Don't overfill. Clean the rim if you get debris there. Take a minute some time to actually concentrate on how they work, ( doesn't apply to those with a modicum of common sense)...

Have you thought about an ms150 rear handle, easier to source, & just as good.

I found this quite something to look through, thought provoking stuff, & a good reminder of the power of tyranny, care please with the holocaust pics, not for the kids. World War II - The Atlantic

14.25 ton, & I will donate any winnings to Felixthechopper.

Sorted!

It is a new config for home owners, but you have to be carefull, they kick back into your knees, but you can use the saw upside down if your worried about that...

I listened to that, good work in the report.

Thanks Pekerwoo, nice to see you about!

Very sad news, thoughts are with you.

This is a story about a couple who had been happily married for years, the only friction in their marriage was the husband’s habit of farting loudly every morning when he awoke the noise would wake his wife and the smell would make her eyes water and make her gasp for air. Every morning she would plead with him to stop ripping them off because it was making her sick. He told her he couldn't stop it and that it was perfectly natural. She told him to see a doctor, she was concerned that one day he would blow his guts out. The years went by and he continued to rip them out. Then one Sunday morning, as she was preparing the turkey for dinner and he was upstairs sound asleep, she looked at the innards, neck, gizzard, liver and all the spare parts, and a malicious thought came to her. She took the bowl and went upstairs where her husband was sound asleep and, gently pulling the bed covers back, she pulled back the elastic waistband of his underpants and emptied the bowl of turkey guts into his shorts. Sometime later she heard her husband waken with his usual trumpeting which was followed by a blood curdling scream and the sound of frantic footsteps as he ran into the bath room. The wife could hardly control herself as she rolled on the floor laughing, tears in her eyes! After years of torture she reckoned she had got him back pretty good. About twenty minutes later, her husband came downstairs in his blood stained underpants with a look of horror on his face. She bit her lip as she asked him what was the matter. He said, “Honey you were right… all these years you have warned me and I didn't listen to you.” “What do you mean?” asked his wife. “Well, you always told me that one day I would end up farting my guts out, and today it finally happened, but by the grace of god, some Vaseline and two fingers. I think I got most of them back in…….............…..”

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath. "Nurse,"' he mumbles from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?" Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet." He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?" Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles gently in the other. She looks very closely and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine." The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly, "Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very, very closely: Are - my - test - results - back?"

No offence intended from me, I responded to the four figure thing, without assumption, as you asked for opinions. So if my post upset you, for that I apologise.

I would have thought 4 to 5 hundred without a grind about on the money too, unless it's a half mile drag!

A fine post Skyhuck, wise words.

For a little job like that it would be taking a liberty imo. Whilst we have to earn a living, I do believe if called out to a job, windblow or whatever, it is our responsibility to be fair in our charges if asked to sort the problem, then bill the job without previous quotation. To take advantage & invoice sky high is, again imo, not a sign of a good honest tradesman, something we aspire to be on here. Look at it another way, mr general public comes on here, & sees what looks like tradesmen rubbing there hands together at the opportunity to invoice in an inflated manner, not a good image.

Nice little thumper Twig!

I agree mate,the xr's are a good woods weapon, but overall more suited to trail riding, more so nowadays with these new fangled super fast bikes about. A mate of mine has the te 450, or something like that, on a 2010, very nice bike, but Husky are a bit unpredictable as a company,& the older ones are a bit,erm, fragile! If you want a good cheap fast bike, you could look at Yammy wr 426, or the 450, but avoid the 2003-2004 ones( first of the 450's). The 426, I have one, are a sharper handling machine than the 450, & can be got for about £1500, the 450 is more powerful,having a longer stroke engine, but a bit wide & lardy feeling for serious enduro. They are a good reliable bike compared to some of the exotic european fare.

The xr range were in fact enduro bikes, but due to their softish nature got adopted as good trail bikes, they were fazed out by the watercooled bikes.

This not a bad link, the olds will maybe like this! It's ok, you don't have to own up! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs4hkJIX8oU]The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed (FULL ALBUM) - YouTube[/ame] So get your head way back...

No wonder, the lass is a cracker! Her pose with the saw brightened these pages, what struck me most was the cool way she responded to the silly attacks.

Lovely axe, & a thoughtful lass too!
