The working man, and chainsaw thread!!!!!!!!!

[slowp]

Very nice! Awesome dog, and you know I love dog's. Like the purple scabbard, what was the saw you were holding in the pic? That was some rigging indeed, almost need to number the line's eh? LOL! CO-ed is alwya's fine with me!

The grandma is not me. She is running a 360 which was a gift from her husband. He doesn't like her to run his saws. She does a lot of work on their place, I sometimes help.

Lately, I've been thinning out a limblocked Doug fir patch, and she stands by or limbs the trees. I think she could fall better than I can, but she draws the line at falling. Our project is on hold due to skiing.

Her husband calls us "2 Wimmen Logging."

Look at posts on the Forestry and Logging forum. I won't have many more pics of logging. I retired. There will be some action at the Grandma's place but it will be mechanized.

I did have a nice office though.

No pics of me or the saws...can't get the skidloader to hold the camera...he's all thumbs with that thing.

cheers!

Will do Slowp, good pics'! You too Spidermonkey! Well today, I worke'd ona 028, it's my first fixer upper seller. I had already done the fuel line, and filter. I was proud I did my first carb kit. I am not to proud to admit because of all the small part's, I never attempted it. I even got a tach! I alway's push myself, whether cutting, or saw work, falling whatever. Trying to reach new level's. I should of calle'd it the poor man chainsaw thread. I can't even afford a garage!

Good stuff Kimble, and thank's for the jump start LOL! Nice motorcyles too! I dont think Aaron like's bike's, because they didn't offer kart engine's:hmm3grin2orange: Had some nice yellow one's though! Today my friend's the working man was stuck doing traffic control. I was just past the small town of Bodega, near the cemetary, and hwy 1. We were in a nice Eacalyptugrove that I appreciated all day. I did fantasize about whidling some up for firewood Had to settle for some limbing with the pole saw

Norm you forget our discussions about old dirt bikes last year. I've had more than a few 250-500cc 2-stroke dirt bikes and quads over the decades. I gave you some grief over your dislike of LH kickstarters (like what's on Kimble's 'Berg).

LOL! Lefty were fine, they were just so dam tall for my short little ass! had a husky 510 wmx, I had to coast start it, or walk it over to something I could stand on:msp_biggrin: My favorite 2 stroke of all time for me was my Honda CR480. Loooooooooooooved it:wink2:

I had a 1983 CR250R and later a 1983 CR480R. Briefly had a 1983 Husky 500CR (six speed) and later an ATK 406 Cross Country (also six speed). Rode (but never owned) a 1981 Maico 490 Mega-2 and a 1981 KTM 495MXC. All LH kick. Brutal big bore 2-stroke power. My ATK and the KTM were quite fast on top too. I rode but never owned one of those Husky 510's. Fantastic bikes. The first of the 'modern' 4-stroke bikes. Loved those big singles. The most fun I had on two wheels was riding my bud's grey market 1985 Yamaha RZ500 a few years ago. Two stroke V4 fun on the street! Scared the hell outa myself...

OHHH bikes are fun. The most insane bike I've ridden is a 2010 Yamaha R1 185hp I believe, with Two Brothers racing exhaust, man the ex sound on that bike was amazing, faster then scary fast, it was just absolutely insane fast.

Those modern literbikes are sick. A couple guys at work have 'em. I pee myself a little just thinking about winding one out....:jester:

 

[bigbadbob]

I have a GSXR1000 in my garage, its been laid down hard, my winter project, not my bike but I get to ride it before it goes home.
Supposed to be quick.:hmm3grin2orange:
Probably faster than my 1979 XL250!!:msp_ohmy:

 

[NORMZILLA44]

I am glad I sat out when I did. I got busted up so many time's on my dirt bike's, and last time I rode much on the street, I was running a 87 hurricane 600. It was about early 90's. A earlier sport bike, but still fast, enough to scare me. I just alway's did risky stuff, on both dirt and street, and alway's to fast. I think if I would have kept riding, you guy's wouldn't be knowing me, and enjoying swapping saw storie;s with me. At least on the street. I have my trusty 300 4x4 foreman, for running my dog's, and what I need to do, and don't even get crazy on that. But it wasn't the bike's, I guess sitting out with the other's just allowe'd me to grow up, and realize any of em can kill you, if driven reckless, even my foreman.

Ya you would pee yourself if you've never ridden one. Just crack the throttle in 2nd and feel the tire lift off the ground when you don't want it to is pretty darn exhilarating. Too have 185hp between your legs is just crazy!! And to think I drive a Suzuki swift for my commuter and it has less then 100hp.

Ya those are darn fast bikes too, that's what kind of project I need!! I drove a 05 GSXR750 and that was a bit nuts too.

 

[bergman 501]

sense you guys are taking about bikes, here are a few pic. Aaron i just sold my Berg (sorry to see it go) and bought a wood splitter.

first is my tt600 yam bored to 621/ 11.1 piston/white brothers cam and header. suzuki drz400 fks and rm wheel-- dr350 suzuki rear wheel and it's plated.
had one new in 83.

2nd is a tt500 project suzuki wheels and fks and swingarm (under construction)---had one new in 76

3rd is a 1982 125 yz restored

4th is a 1985 125 yz

just was given a Rokon---automatic powered by a snowmoble sachs eng. It was built in the us (it's not the totegoat they build)

and last i get to work on my buddy's dragster the SEX E APRON car (572" mopor wedge--runs in the 7.20's--185mph) my wife makes the aprons

Man sorry to hear about the 'Berg. Money (for splitters) doesn't go on trees, so I can understand your decission however. I sold my 1999 Arctic Cat 4X4 and 1990 ATK406 to pay for non-bike stuff a number of years ago...

I used to ride with a buddy who had an '81 YZ125. Similar to your '82, with the radiator up on the forks. Had a fun time pulling that headset apart and rebuilding it. The seals had leaked and all the bearings were badly rusted. Took some time and a lota heat to get all the bearings off and clean things up. New bearings and seals and all was well with coolant staying where it was supposed to be! I love those old Yamaha TT500's. Plated eh? Pretty cool. Only bike I have now is a 1975 Yamaha MX400 'project'. Engine's good. I plan to fix it up and plate it or maybe swap that engine into a DT250, 260, or 400 that's plated. It's a "someday" back burner project....

Your pic attachments are indeed not working for us. Don't bother making attachments out of them. Just post the pic links with [ I M G ] (in front of) and [ / I M G ] tags (behind them). Then they'll show up. Take the spaces (that I had to use to keep the system from getting confused) out of the image tags of course.

I got em to come up. Nice bike's Kimble, my neighboor had a tt600, awesome bike. At the time I had a IT465, that was almost unridable. Some of the best rider's I grew up with, loope'd it more than once including myself. It was built with some yz490 part's, and bored I think 30 over. It was a monster, to much actually. You could not keep it on a trail, or hill climb to much torque. My cr 480 was just right, the gearing helpe'd.

I rode a buddy's dad's 1984 IT490. It was a beast.
