Well at least we know what Troll does with his saws now! lol, sorry troll it slipped.

Ya, I think you're right, the Troll's been holding out on us and trying to keep all the fun to himself! lol
Maybe it's for calling in bull elk and buffalo.

I am pretty sure that I would dig the fog horn Contra if I was there, but I could make wayyyyyyyy more noise with my 250R with no silencer. Some 5th gear saud slinging while sitting on the handle bars grabs the crowd better than some old saw..
I was doing that in my back yard a while back, 4th gear in the powerband while i was sitting on the handle bars and WHOOSH, I went in the air and a 3 wheeler landed on me. the 3 wheeler decided to catch traction.......

LOL I hate it when that happens!!! A 250r would be quite loud if used in that fashion and fun too, till whoosh that is, those usually hurt a bit.

This is a great thread :clap: Really neat to see these guys and what they will put up with\risk (like dude in cuffs) for work huh?

I have no idea, shortly after 7oaks posted his pic I found the one I posted. This is the first time I've ever seen one. Mange or chainsaw57 would know I'll bet.
Wonder how much one would go for on Ebay? Lol

I have 3 underwater saws, all are air powered. 2 are bar and chain and one is a Wright reciprocating .

MX should be a class in the dirt bike competition imo. The GP stands for Grand Prix.



BTW. great pics in this thread. The Stihl 1106 series have probably cut more wood in their lifetime than most modern saws together.

Thanks for the explanation my European buddy. So they just use these things as obnoxious noise makers whilst gettiing drunk? Goes to show you how many contras there are in Europe when they can be used for this kind of toy. :dizzy:
