  1. Like your style mate there's always a way to get the job done:thumbup:
  2. Get in mate you know the crack then mate:thumbup: the thing is these atc's I been looking at are 1983 models the same ones I was on and the year I was born, the idea of watching my boys on them is great! I remember when I was a kid my dad put a 90 engine in our 70 and the spark plug was almost touching the front tyre:lol: they're fantastic machines and just keep going our 185 had knackered axle bearings and sat in the garden through the winter while we were trying to get new ones, the pull start was also nakered but once we got them in new spark plug and a few bumps and it cracked straight up good times
  3. Them Honda engines are fantastic me and my mates grew up on Honda atc's I've been looking on eBay at the old 70 trike I'm gonna buy a couplenext year and get them ready for the boys il have to test them out obviously
  4. Canny mate is that running on a little Honda engine too?
  5. Thought I was gonna hate that to start it made melaugh my head off nice one
  6. My dad has a knack of making stuff like this never mind the kids i fancy something to pull the chipper about:lol: He used to weld two mini sub frames together with a gurder down the middle I think, then the engine, suspension, brakes etc. went straight on. He used to whack some off road wheels on and a frame over the top like on mad max, what a machine it was:thumbup:
  7. for the kids:lol: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ6WBFrgVvQ]YouTube - tracked ATV[/ame]
  8. That ripsaw is awesome:thumbup: My dad said hes making a tracked machine for the boys powered by a little honda engine he has, I thought it would be a bit crap until he showed me all these vids on you tube:thumbup:
  9. Tell me about it set off along the fell road today and went round the tight bend to find cars all over the place, one smashed over a dry stone wall we just turned around. Another day wrote off due to the snow:sneaky2:

  12. like when you get a 9 stone climber with popeye forearms haha
  13. Where's elsdon mate?
  14. I remember my mate cutting ligament in his hand with a silky and needing it operated on and as he had carpinal tunnel syndrome in the other they operated on both at the same time his lass wasn't happy having to give him swipe after the toilet haha
  15. Haha that original avatar was a pic of some fake logs made from foam mate honest:001_rolleyes: the poor transit was in first gear in places up some of the hills that day bet it's a breeze for you down there mate being flat compared to our end
  16. Trees like this always seem to be in the wrong place. The van looks nice though mate I want to do similar with ours il get a pic up of it, it's too big and heavy really and cos it's so big it's too tempting to keep filling it haha
  17. Would you advise strapping your wrists up yeti or would that make them weaker relying on the straps? I did knack my wrists up falling off motorbikes as a youngen so don't think this helped
  18. Cheers mate il see if I can find out anything on that stuff. Aye it's a shame but had to be done by the sounds of it
  19. Is it gonoderma I'm not the best at this looks it to me though mate iam pap on this side of things though Hama and them will know
  20. Nice job mate shame as it looked a nice tree. What are sides made from on the van we gonna renew ours it's too big and heavy made from steel
  21. I was gonna find this thread and ask about strengthening wrists but I think these were the exercises that suit aren't they yeti the old broom shank one and the wrist curls etc. I always hurt my wrists somehow and get tennis elbow but I work hard and train hard already must over doing it I'm naturally skinny so putting weight on has been hard for me
  22. I was talking to an old bloke the other day he had a H reg lwb and it was clean as a whistle even under the bonnet he told me he changes the oil every 3000 miles and it's never missed a beat
  23. I love the look of that one it's a beauty wasn't it 200 quid or something?
  24. That's the ones mate them jolly ones were the ones I seen and have seen the haix ones too think they called flash pro fire boots or something
  25. It wasn't haix mate but I just can't remember what they were I know it was buxtons that was selling them you could them a ring mate but if they aren't well known boots its probably because other brands are better suited I suppose mate but I'm not sure wether these boots might have also protect against fire which might suit you.
