Bit like Grandad rights for towing . 👍

It could indeed . I have mostly been a sports bike person . I did have a VFR 750FK back in the day but, of course I had to fiddle with it . TTS BIG BORE kit taking it out to 837cc ( masses of torque ) Extended gear box output shaft to correct the chain run for CBR 1000 wheels and my own ram air system ( The ram air system made it run like a pig so reverted back to design intent ) Oh and I made the exhaust system .

The who can get most outraged at bad treework thread.
Stubby replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in Picture Forum
Yea . They do look like skittles . -
I hear what you are saying but , A ZZR1100 is only 145BHP and handles like a broken toilet seat . Most current 1000cc sports bikes make in excess 200BHP and don't weigh much more than a 600cc . EG The current Blade is around 2017 BHP and weighs four fifths of fcuk all .

That I heard also but , there was a guy on here not long ago who had one in and out of the shop . Lots of down time . No good in the woods like that .

Yep got one .

She's a blacksmith so sharping it should be ok, for someone who spends all day swinging a hammer this pick is causing some difficulty, what is the trick? Start slowly ( as if you are not bothered about the point sticking ) just trying to get the point to strike first and not letting the shaft twist in your hand.

Well you know what I mean bud .

I used to have a Renault Gordini when I was an apprentice back in 1807 . I turned up some small end bushes for it from fozzy bronze . Worked a treat ! 👍

I agree here . Its a bit like 2 ropes and a strop then a mewp . The skill in " feeling " what the rubber is doing , what the suspension is doing etc etc will eventually be lost . I have never had electronic help , traction control , wheely control etc etc . If I fcuk up its down to me so I make sure I learn from the bike . I think ( and its just my opinion ) that most riders reach their limit before they reach the limit of the bike . If this happens they can create a situation that does not need to happen . I am an old git of 68 now but was always at the front of the " fast group " at the track day . Old Stubby back in 2005 .

Paddy me old mucker . Just to clear things up ...On page nine you say " its the LAW " and then later on somewhere you say " I'm not saying its the law " . It wont affect me as the highest I ever get now is putting a pair of thick socks on . just wondered if it is or isn't the law . pretty please , with sugar on top ....🙂

STIHL CHAINSAW WINS TOP AWARD FOR MAGNESIUM PISTON TECHNOLOGY
Stubby commented on Steve Bullman's record in News
It didn't catch fire ? 🙂 -
Does not seem to have affected the visiting thrushes from Russia . Plenty of Fieldfairs and Redwings here .

Have a spud 390 also

Ok fair play re the 500i . If I was still cutting and I knew it would hold then yep I might have one . Not tried a 572 but apart from a few earlier versions that had clutch covers broken it sounds like a winner . My current 70cc saw is a Spud ported 372XP and that's the way it will stay for me !
-
I tried a 500i just briefly . I think it is an 80cc saw but it was very light . Because of this I was not convinced of its ability to last in a forestry environment . If will hold up then fantastic , who wants to lug around more than they have to ? Have heard one or two horror stories though .

Just the pedant in me but when you " thread it " you are making a thread . Its when you strip the thread that you have a problem .

Well done , bang on by the sound of it .
