    There is a bit of talent in amongst the roughty toughty arb fraternity after all, how very refreshing!

    There you go I fixed it for you!
  6. I do a bit of writing from time to time, keep it to myself mostly. But why? So lets see yours! I wrote this tonight, as a message to someone I love desperately, miss: We parted, Then I found myself in a wood, With the damp bluebells, The trees looked down upon my plight, Whilst seemingly closing their great trunks in your wake. The bluebells are wilted & gone now, The light here has turned green, Under the shooting leaves of this years abundance, With little to show come the autumn, But for the pride of a freshly dropped crispy gold blanket. I can close my eyes now, Only to listen, & smell. I can describe in abstract my position, Whilst waiting in hope for you to walk towards me, through the trees. Just as the last of the squirrels looks round & then hibernates. X
  7. Doesn't look to pricey either.
  8. Never heard that from the local provider before, check it out if I were you.
  9. Split second later & he would have been in trouble there!
  10. Nice looking work,quality!
  11. He made a good choice, well done in influencing him.
  12. I wonder if there's a market for vintage ones...
  13. Just ignore him & get on with your business, most likely he will go away before long.
  14. Mine runs on aspen no problems at all, must have put 15 litres through it by now, you must have an adjustment on the carb out, my bet would be the 'l' screw, & idle screw.
  15. There is a charity show down there on the 30th of this month, kicks off at mid day if you are about. http://www.essexchapter.com/eventdocs/2013/BIKES_BARGES_2013.pdf Bikes and Barges - Maldon District Council
  16. Yep, I kind of cheated really, the sailing barges offered a great blend of colour to the bike!
  17. That's what I thought, not a gas axe. I wish you well with the insurance.
  18. Sounds like you know your tuning Chris, those old 250's are a bit all or nothing!
  19. Sorry for your loss here, what the hell have they used to cut that with?
  20. I like these, had one some years back & yours looks great!
  21. That looks a serious bike Wolfie!
  22. Painted some of the tin work on the chop,still more to do, including frame paint, no one likes the colour but me, I find it kind of funky. IMG_1579 by geoff321, on Flickr IMG_1583 by geoff321, on Flickr
  23. That's good news Chris, how you going to calm it down? I know on the old cr500 doubling up on the base gasket took the edge off it a bit when I used it for enduro, or racing on hard packed clay.
  24. +1, I would have wanted double that money at least.
  25. That's my opinion too, anything heavier would restrict the saw imo, the saw relies on a very narrow kerf, which in turn does give nice finish cuts. I keep a cheepo pair of glasses in my sharpening box, as at my age I'm long sighted, that & the file guide results in a nice sharp saw.
