  1. What a fine man you are Leo!

    So now we number six...

    I can soooo sense the 'I wanna do it but don't dare' lurchers...I learned years ago that the only thing to fear about fear is fear itself, so what are y'all waiting for?

    Oh & I can also hear the frantic messages being passed to Archant by their watchers here...perhaps we should allow an office bod from that lot in?

    I thought we only had four definates? Did I miss something?

    Anyway, I don't recall actually volunteering for February, being starkers in those temperatures isn't going to do much for the reputation.

    If we ever actually get there, what's the charity? I vote either kids or my Africa Twin fund.

    I didn't ask for December either Chris, it was just an interim plan based on Pads list. Feel free to change it as you wish.

    I'm certainly ok with the kids charity idea.

    Bugbear

    Will you be posing on your bike or standing next to it?  And will you really be wearing only your helmet and nothing else?

    Oh, Bugsy, the thought of it is enough to make a girl sigh...................

    Guess it depends how sensitive the camera is?

  3. The MS 240 is a good little workhorse Anton & don't be shy about the electric saw...they're great! The longer the bar the harder the saw has to work to pull the chain through the timber and the less power is delivered to the chain, really 35cm is the longest bar the 240 should have, imho, but you'd get away with 40cm I guess. To give you an idea, I have a 45cm bar & 'doctored' chain set up on an MS460 (76cc & mean with it!) and even that sometimes moans a bit!

    I thought the 240 ran on .325? But it might be 3/8 picco, the 3/8 picco micro is a great chain too...I'm not a saw mechanic tho! The Stihl Rapid Micro .325 chain is a superb chain and suitable for the saw, depending on guide bar length (knives have blades Anton). Different chains have different performance characteristics Anton, it's quite a subject. It took me a few years before I really got to grips with balancing how much chain 'power' a saw could handle, chain types, bar lengths, sharpening angles for different jobs & species of timber etc. It might be better to pop into your dealer & ask his advice?

    Don't forget to check bar & sprocket for wear and if you don't know already, learn how to sharpen properly. Be careful with those fallen trees, there's plenty of traps ready to get you just when you least expected it...as no doubt you know by now?

    Good luck...can I come and play?

  5. So far we have Moggy, Bugbear and myself definately signed up to get our kit off for a calender. I think Pads is in and Sunflower is doing crunches as we type (as yet undecided).

    There are no requirements as to age, shape or sex, it's just a bit of fun. I forget which months are taken but I'm sure folk can negotiate.

    Proceeds to charity.

    Archant to do the piccies and printing (for free), I reckon they can't say no 'cos if they do I'm going to phone up the tabloids and tell them what tight so & so's they are, and anyway, they'll get shed loads of publicity out of it!

    God help us when the two Welsh Wenches pick up on this[blink].

    Any more takers?
