  1. The last bike I had was 150bhp at the gear box . Probably 128 ish at the back wheel . The new SP Blade is 217BHP or something . Bonkers !
  2. No no Andrew . You were concise and to the point . I could not match you bud . ?
  3. I think about it all the time ☺️
  4. + one for the Wood chuck kit .
  5. I have reported fake saws for years and they did nothing so gave up in the end .
  6. You can report it to Ebay or, alternatively you can piss at the moon .
  7. All the horses that come out of the yard where my wife keeps hers are covered by insurance . Don't suppose all yards do it but ours does .
  8. This is true . I was thinking it terms of the fire wood market but yes that's what is happening Steve .

    New Saw Advice

    Either of the two Huaqvarnas . the 362 Stihl is a bit of a dull dead wight .
  10. Dunno . Have you made equerries to the appropriate bodies ?
  11. Richard Wayne Penniman has died . Good Golly . damm shame . we are all going I suppose .
  12. What I am seeing is mass felling of Ash no matter what the condition just to be sure there are no insurance claims should any one be injured or killed , ( understandable ) . With this obvious excess of timber will the price come down ? I don't think so .
  13. I respect you opinion J and understand your frustration . My wife's horse can't see the point of your low impact forwarder but hey ! The horses are fine round here coz they don't ride on the road . They also only gallop when they can see a fair distance . Its the twatts on the bikes assuming its all for them and no one else . Last week one was stopped with his kids ( all had bikes ) and said to me could I stop my dog " slobbering on his kids shoes FFS . ( they had taken them off and were playing in the river ) I said my dog does not slobber , she is a spaniel not a bull dog and could you not let your kids leave their shoes where my dog my come into contact with them as I don't want her to catch anything from them . Needless to say he did not get it and he was not from my village . I told him to fuck right off back to Chichester or were ever .
  14. 125 is ok on the first pull but if you pull it over several time you should get up around 160 for good combustion . Was the piston you replaced a dished one or a flat top ?
  15. I can see you have started pruning the heart out already ( as they do on orchard trees ) . Maybe that and killing the ants did it no favors ?
  16. Oh go on then , Its a ditto tree .
  17. No, it's not a nimble quick saw like the 346. If the 346 is like a sports car the 112 is more like driving a landrover, slow, heavy but pulls and pulls. I have a Spud ported 346 and I do everything I possibly can with it before I go up a size .
  18. Even so, having used a 346 and owning a 112 the old Dolmars are very solidly built - quite a bit heavier for the same cc. I don't want heavy ! ?
  19. I know many of you on hear think I have a loathing for cyclists but I do have a push bike myself but ....I am walking my dog on the foot path between arable fields in my village . 8 blokes on mountain bikes come barrelling round the corner and tell me to put my dog on a lead . Instantly my hackles go up . So which one of you is Mum and which one is Dad ? coz obviously you are a family from the same house ? No course not . They are all mates from far and wide who meet up coz they like to keep fit and baz off down to Lavant village coz its nice there . They don't give a flying fuck about any one else . I told them they inconsiderate selfish cnuts . They said why was I so confrontational ? I wonder .....
  20. That is because it is not a " pro " saw . If you had a 346 which is a pro version you would see the difference .
