I tried a pair of pfanners with the boa closure. For me it just got tight at the top and not enough lower down! Didn't like it so sent them back.

I remember the late naughties when spoons were doing recession busters and it was 99p a pint, ruddles county was order of the day for my self. Haven't been in there for a 5 years or so, literally stank of shite when I last went in, I thought this is an absolute dive so haven't been back, if me mates are heading that way after cycling I'll just go home instead! Minehead btw incase you want to avoid it.

I am an avid cyclist, I used to ride an old 80's road bike with panier rack and paniers. Chainsaw boot in either one, a 1.2litre flask and my lunch and clothes. Soon gets easier, I had some steep hills, then I moved so I had to crawl up to the highest point in Somerset on route to work. As my step dad once said "no better drug than fitness", he was an avid toker! A set of padded shorts underneath could be beneficial if you find your getting a sore arse. Mind you if you don't cycle at all it will take a little while before your arse hardens up and things get easier. O and go for padded shorts over a padded seat, the shorts move with you where as the seat doesn't. Bloody E Bike, What's the matter with you ya wet blanket!

Yes I would agree the modern stuff is a lot more powerful, I have had no experience with a lot of the modern car tech as the newest we got at the moment is two 2013 motors! The 20 year old transit is just about doing the business but needs some money spent on it, water leaks, oil leaks, hydraulic oil leak etc, I have to respectfully decline any quote where the have a nice block paved driveway! The price of stuff is mental, probably count me in as one of the moaning old strokers, but stories of clutches every 20-30k, wet belts, ad blue, dpf filters.... Hmm maybe it's worth revamping the old dog !

I listened to some talk by a women and it was about learning in schools. Obviously about retention of knowledge but saying how actually writing stuff down lodges in our brains better then work on screens, lots of schools do stuff on tablets and laptops. I for one know that if I write stuff down in a diary I will be more likely to remember it! If only I could find where I put that diary! As a consequence of loosing said diary I now use the calender on my phone, helpful because my wife can add stuff to the calendar.

In the 10 years I have been using the art rope guide I have only had it not come out of the tree once! Admittedly I am not a full time climber, used to climb more frequently back in the day but regardless I am.always impressed with it!

I think governments, our government, have been chatted up by tech owners, letting them have free reign, for the greater good etc. surely based on the environmental impact alone it can't be judged as good. But then the internet is the same as well as social media. Remember when forums used to be mint before Facebook became top dog. Would you say it's any good on Facebook? Thank goodness the reliant scimitar forum is still going great guns! Proper

Mitsubisihi outlander. Quite a compact thing, tows alright. Pulls well.

I mean the concept of AI sounds great, but I would say it's created by billionaires for billionaires. The fact that it just repeats any old mumbo jumbo found on line then treats it as fact, then people treat it as fact. More and more people are relying on it day to day. Each search AI search 68g CO2, a regular Google search without AI 0.2gCO2. imagine how much people are using this day to day, and the emissions produced. The government keen to press on into the unknown with AI whilst in the other hand saying we need to reel back to protect the environment. https://share.google/eVSFKBnYsBEHS4iQu

Looks like the portal to somewhere sinister

I have just purchased a red led lamp to go on my .177 for rats, yet to give it a go but the light was £12.99, can't get any cheaper than that.

Op states that the towbar mounting had been cut off by previous owner
-
Yes and seeing as though mine has split all from the base it would seem that the Flexi is required. I think one of the yanmar exhaust cut down and paired with a Flexi should do the job. The only thing I need to work out is how secure it above the Flexi, maybe just a bracket on to the top one the bonnet.

Just spoke to a helpful chap at greenplant, standard trailed 150d version is around £300. The correct one for the tracked job is over £600😳
-
I need a new exhaust for my tracked 150, ones for the trailed one say they don't fit the tracked version, What's the difference? I remember sometime when I looked previously the tracked exhaust was more expensive 🫰🏻 Having owned both, trailed and tracked at the same time, since sold the trailed, is couldn't see any difference other than the trailed one had a stainless sleeve shoved over the top where as my tracked diversion does not. #edit it is a diesel model

When I moved insurers, after Aviva didn't pay out on a stolen L200, I tried nfu, they wanted a certificate of conformity for my tipping body. A local engineer had made it but certificate available or implied. Without such certificate nfu couldn't quote. Went with Cornish mutual in the end.

Yes you can achieve many things with a bit of imagination. Mind you one of the best purchases made was one of the fixed bollards that ratchet to the tree. So easy for anyone to get the hang of, especially if you are sunning and end up with random groundies. Decent rope and a pulley.

Tis an expensive we thing.

Timberwolf TW150 DHB anvil replacement
markieg31 replied to Matthew McKee's topic in Maintenance help
Last time I tried speaking to timberwolf technical they were absolutely not interested and said I needed to speak to my local dealer, worlds apart from when I spoke to the technical department 10 years ago they practically bent over back wards to help with my queries. -
I put a small electric winch on my tracked tw150. I don't expect much but got the transit stuck the other day, front wheel off a small bridge back wheel of the ground, sounds more dramatic than it was, but the chipper pulled it with the winch no trouble at all! For a £200 it was money well spent!

Hello, I have a set of procoms and find that if I am listening to a podcast and using a strimmer/saw/chipper the volume is not loud enough for me to hear the podcast or music. When I am communicating with other procoms that is not a problem, plenty loud enough, any one got any suggestions? Phone volume is at max.
