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

I've now got more or less everything I need to start fixing up the bike apart from the nose fairing, inner black surround and bracket to hold same.  Would prefer to put plastics back on the bike rather than a fiberglass fairing but don't to pay whats no doubt silly money for new ones.  On the off chance anyones done a street fighter mod and has the bits (maybe even the headlight aswell).  Its the 'fox eye' model in blue but any colour would do.

could be in trouble for this one,


got caught by a camera an on the 3rd of December on the A64 making a dash for the services with the wife as her IBS was playing up and she needed the toilet, don't have long when this happens didn't realise how fast i was going as the traffic was keeping up with me but was clocked at 100mph  :'(  so I think I am going to get a beating for this, all I can hope is that they take my previous record into account as I have never been done for speeding, or any other traffic offence before, we will see

bike spec comp4 10-40 fully syn £47

Hi, i have a '99 plate fzs 600 and although i don't commute on it i do make the odd 300+ mile journey. i've already raised the handlebars by 30mm and was wandering if anyone could recommend anywhere that i would be able to pick up a gel seat from?

had a look on the usual places like ebay and a couple of my regular online shops but no luck so far.

Thanks in anticipation of all of your help.

Anyone know a quick fix for this? Filled her up, gauge went to full, after 100 miles gauge still showed full - funny, i thought. After 175 miles warning light flickers on (hmm, that still works then). Needle goes up & down when I turn on & off but when powers on stays permanently up (dream on misses). It's not an essential fix but it is a bit annoying! Any ideas out there?

I know that it isn't a Fazer but it does have a FOC-U connection.
1971 Yamaha YR5 350 twin. UK bike with matching frame and engine numbers. Tax exempt. Mot until June. Fully restored with a complete strip, refurbish and rebuild. Upgraded with modern electrics and a LC350 clutch to ensure reliability although nothing can be seen from the outside. The bike is in near show condition and only a couple of minor blemishes away from concours.
Have a look at the pics and if interested contact me at mpollard60@btinternet.com and I will send you full details. Price is £2500 for hopefully a quick sale. Dealers ask £4000+ for bikes in this condition.
Oh yes - the FOC-U connection. The superb paintwork is by none other than our very own Deefer of this parish.

Any advice regarding aftermarket cans for the FZ8 will be greatly appreciated.
Not keen on the Akropovic. What others would you suggest?
