I've found the best way to get rid of a community speed watch scheme is to cycle past them naked and then drag them into court with you afterwards. Naked cyclist wins appeal - News - East Anglian Daily Times

I assume this is Mick Dundee? A shame if so. I was enjoying the photos of his fabricating.

The rate is probably consistent because there's a list of suggested prices for ploughing, flailing etc that agricultural contractors use. Sort of like a national standard. Someone posted a link on here within the last six months.

My Sequoia gets pulled down a bit, even by a 200 for long periods. I'm quite thin though. I've cobbled together something from webbing, a buckle and some tat. Will report when I've tested it properly.

Lovely! Were you wearing a chest harness? I like the idea of a bit of back support for heavy saws.

For anything you're not happy doing yourself, spud is the man.

Many thanks.

Could you post link, e-mail address etc, please.

I suggest you use Aspen or Motomix, especially if the saw will be sitting doing nothing for long periods.

I've sent you a PM.

Top secret, I'm afraid. I couldn't risk someone nicking my idea and taking over the tree-killing world before I do.

Still after a wrench (and possibly stiff tether) please.

Winter on the way. Get rid of the old shitter you were nursing through one last season.

I've often wondered whether it's possible to do the same for unleaded petrol and white diesel used in stuff like chippers.

The online paper website is only visited because every story is accompanied by very soft porn.

I agree. Man plans, god laughs. You can't beat nature. Plant a few mini patches of Alder (the Alder in Aldershot) and make up a good story for them.

Are you from the Isle of Man? That would explain a lot.

It's designed for motorcycling so it must be a bit waterproof. The boom doesn't bother me. It folds under my chin nicely (and stays there) if I don't want it in front of my mouth. I prefer it on my chin so I can feel it's there. It's remarkably good at not picking up rustling, heavy breathing etc. I did think about a system that required no helmet or muff modifying but that meant wires trailing etc. When I give this to someone who isn't familiar with it, I don't want them getting frustrated with wires, sharp cable tie ends etc. I want them to put it on and it just works. Regarding hygiene, the new helmet that I bought will be kept far cleaner than 99.9% of people's usual helmets and can be quickly cleaned with wet wipes at the end of the day. It won't get used every day either. And you can buy new pads etc cheaply. I don't think it's a big issue. Six times cost and six times quality. Agree completely.

Here are mine. Very similar idea but I kept it all attached to the muffs. I was planning on taking just spare muffs to put on other people's helmets when I sub but that's a fvck on so I bought a whole helmet setup to take instead. You can still take the muffs off if needed of course. Takes about a minute. Mine are the 800m range ones from ebay. £60 a pair. Can be bought individually. Available from loads of sellers with different branding but I imagine all fairly similar. They're usable at about 200m (not tried further) through trees and buildings (some buildings distort the sound more than others) and are surprisingly good with background noise from machines. I have speakers in both ears. Both is way better than one. The wire between the two speakers just sits loose in the cage of the helmet above my head. Any spare wire (not much) is in the muffs. 1.5mm ish drill to pilot and do the wire holes 4.2mm drill (M5 tap drill) to drill holes for the mounting screws on the muff hanger 3/16" file for the boom mic slot any narrow saw blade for wire slots

At a massive stretch, yes. But probably no.

Have you used the small ones as well as the bigger ones on your (very powerful) mog?
