  1. Yes it is per litre, but makes no odds,still the same percentage no matter what volume you use,but thanks for clearing that up.
  2. Very true,sounds like my place so thats me labled then..
  3. Yes mate,it is,but because its dearer in the first place this heavily increases the 'tax per gallon'.
  4. Derail alert Eddie,alowances made as its a cool car,but anuone caught posting there blinged up vaxhaul astra will be strung up by there fluffy dice,be warned you heathens!
  5. Treequip,the "use this it may just save your life'' bit was maybe a bit strong,but did you read the link I posted,as it clarifies the situation a bit,& there is a risk from chainsaw use with benzene etc in the fuel,fact. Yes it is expensive,most of that is government tax,which should be relaxed on this product,but is not a big enough concern for them to bother.The product itself is more expensive than some other fuels as it costs more to get out,ever crossed your mind that diesel is pricier than petrol?
  6. Very nice KDX,great little bikes.
  7. Stihl,Echo,or maybe take a look at the tanaka's on FR Jones website on the add bar at the side of these posts.
  8. I have used a few old Tanaka's,they were good kit.
  9. Sad to hear this mate,I'm not on facebook,so any details?
  10. Yes a good reply on the SF forum Tony.
  11. I'm not convinved its a habit he has outgrown yet either.
  12. Theres some truth in that for sure.

    He might have had a mild form of Tourette's.
  14. :laugh1:
  15. Well I dont know,the indignity of it,getting called a yob on a cowboy builders forum!
  16.  

    <p>Yes, the 350 would be very nice,seems quite hard to find a nice CCM,a mate of mine round here in Essex has one,& he knows I want it but I doubt it will come up for sale.</p>

    <p> Iv'e had loads of dirt bikes over the years,& regretted selling each one!<img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/blushing.gif.8ce76a19220ea9a62dc579ba96a38c2f.gif" alt=":blushing:" /></p>

     

  17. Nice choice of bikes!
  18. I'm always doing that!
  19. Thats stronging it a bit in my opinion,I mean,your far from handsome!
  20. Yep,& that would make a lot of difference to people who feel negative about the product.
  21.  

    <p>Just browsing at the bikes for now,but if the right thing comes up I will grab it!</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p> I'm going to stick to a jap bike as they tend to hold up better in the long run,& parts are cheaper,oh,unless I see a very nice CCM!<img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/biggrin.gif.7a0f8b614f45b8779b9dba9cfd28c239.gif" alt=":biggrin:" /></p>

    Saw Purchase:)

    Modern saws are pretty good from the off,just dont rev it flat out when its not in wood,when cutting use full throttle but try not to slog it hard in big wood,I always run a new saw normaly for a few minutes,then let it tick over for half a minute to disipate heat,turn it off to let it cool a bit,then back cutting again. couple of tank fulls & it will be bedding in,four tank fulls & give it hell! Its not great to run them at half throttle when cutting,as they can run lean on fuel.
  23. <p>Thank you Chris!<img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/001_smile.gif.85de4dbf571682c521c1f17809dcc557.gif" alt=":001_smile:" /></p>

    Saw Purchase:)

    Depends to some extent what you will use it for,with a 12 inch bar it will cut fast,& no real risk of touching your toes with it,(a common injury when snedding). If you intend to cut logs over 10 inch diameter,then go for the larger bar,if you are long in the leg I would go 15'' anyway,the saw will more than pull it. They are a very fast saw,your in for some fun with it!
  25. Sounds like your wife knows all about getting cracks filled in,I would ask her!
