This is an interesting thread Dennis, but can I say that if I never intend to build a bikesaw?

That's good Russ

 

[Breezio]

what... ya don't pull start the 500cc single?

 

[jokers]

That's good Russ....but I bet you'd sure love to make a cut with a 500 in a big block of wood.....just for the rush and handful of vibration. Some say it's better than sex....nahhhh....but close. Hahahaha!

Of course I`d love to run one but don`t have one to run. Maybe I can get in on the next junket to your bikesaw dude ranch!

There was a recent story about a guy that had part of a chain fly through a lexan door of his harvester and kill him dead.
What are the safety concerns with operating this saw?

Not only do we let rookies run hotsaws, but don't forget about the Big tree felling. This is alot of fun also. Just ask Gypo and Marky. Save up your money Russ and I'll find you a 6 footer...this one's only 5 1/2.

Dennis,

I`m selling donuts to the other guards and I`m skimming the coffee fund surplus, maybe someday...........

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Dennis,

Do you start these projects with a new CR500 engine bought straight from Honda or do you get a used one off a bike?

Can you show pictures of what needs to be done to the bike engine to get it ready? What cases need to be cut off, how do you cut them off, etc.?

Thanks,
Bob
