Ya, according to my dad the alpina is based off of a sherpa T, having a different transmission, handlebars, shocks and some other stuff. I was gonna buy a KDX200, but decided getting a Bultaco would be cooler and would be fun to see my dad relive some memories. He has had some problems wrenching on the bikes and gets mad, but when riding he has a lot of fun.

Check this engine out:

When buying the bikes, the guy said he had them all running a few months back, ya right. It had good compression, but kept wetting the plug. We thought it might have some water in it. Well it was more than water.

Is that a 266xp?, Nice load of logs!
Yuppers, 266xp with 24/5" bar running full skip chisel (Sthil), cuts like a scaulded bunny and hasn't missed a beat yet, no chainbrake assy still so I'm darned xtra careful with it.
The logs were donated from a housing development, they come by dumptruck and many have been dragged through the muck which makes my job interesting, there were about 4-5 cords of maple in these five (now two) loads and that is what I've been getting out of the way, the rest is dougfir (and the one grandfir behind me, big and crappy/pitchy, part of my next winter's wood, hey, its free!). I just finished up the loads in behind these piles to accept another 14 loads that will be coming over the next couple of months, nice being the 'boss' so I can pace myself :D Theres a massive trunk under what I'm cutting in the pic that I've been chipping at, I figure the maple came from maybe 2-3 trees, sure is nice to cut it and hopefully some will find its way into my shed :) No big surprizes in the wood yet but something killed my 270's bar and chain, now a weekend project :(

:cheers: Yall and keep the all the awesome pics coming, I spent a good part of this afternoon going through them, reall good pics and great to put some faces ta people!

Lolol, I think I had yer brother workin' with me last week (an old mate, we all had ponytails in the 70-80's too lol) :D
(Now I have three frikken mauls to re-handle, sheesh :) )

Serge

Man you're tougher than me Serge. I gave up the mauls after I blew out a shoulder in 2006. Still work with them a little but it's much easier to do it in this sequence:

1. Crack a beer
2. Take a slug
3. Pull handle on splitter
4. Girls load another log onto splitter
5. Take another slug of beer
6. Pull handle on splitter..........

:clap: :givebeer: :clap:
