 8)   Check out the CARGO range before you buy ..  :)
 
I used the Oxford kit for many years and thousands of miles .. it is good.
 
However .. the bags are all a strange shape and that seems to lose some space, in my opinion.
 
The Cargo kit is more 'square case' and it holds a fair bit more without being any larger on the bike.
 
Lifetime guarantee, really well made, easy on easy off, much better than the big fat ugly hard stuff!
 
As always ... each to their own.

El Muchos Thankos for all the replies guys  :)
 
In particular Ad the Bad for his expert input and Lord Jon for his very sincere concerns .. bloody kids  :\ .   I take your point Jon .. however I don't know many blokes who have lived a more dangerous life than me  :eek  If however I do chop a leg off .. you can have first dibs on the spare Flip Flop (very low mileage, size 10)
 
So .. after full consideration of all the points raised and the research done .. I have decided to go ahead with the Ryobi RC-S 1835 Jobby .. cos it seems to tick almost all my box's  :)
 
Thanks again for ALL the input .. much appreciated.

Hi Guys,
 
I am considering buying an electric chainsaw from Amazon .. including shipping to Spain (I need the instructions and stuff in English!)  The make and model is :-
 
RYOBI RC-S 1835 240v 1800w
 
We have a small wood burner stove and I need to cut logs not trees. 
 
Does anyone have experience of using this type of tool?  Does anyone have any advice or suggestions on the use of such tools (I am aware of the need for 100% safety).  Does anyone have any suggestions of an alternative make and model?

 
Cheers  :)    Polar Bear

Wildlife Encounters .. of a very rare kind .. special moments that nature allows us to share.
 
September is 'grub up' time in the river and the Grizzly's are having a feast before their winter sleep.
 
A young Adult fishing in the shallows.
 
A giant old Grandad Bear .. he knows the deep water tricks too.  Hard to get the size factor of these magnificent creatures across .. but that big black nose is over 4 inches wide, he can smell your breath from 2 miles away. The Salmon was 2 feet long .. Burp :o(

Big Thanks to those that voted for me last month and congratulations to Biffa Bob  :) 
 
It's very nice of you Bob to let me choose the October Topic .. I think  :\ 
However .. it's not so easy to come up something that fits such an interesting part of the groups on-line activities.
 
So .. for the October event .. lets have your very best efforts on:   Encounters with Wildlife.
 
Good Luck .... Stay Safe  ;)    Polar Bear
