Gippsland or victoria australia GTG

[tdi-rick]

I wonder how many saws I could get on the Beemer?

You got panniers on it ?

Power heads in the panniers, and you could always run the bars down your leathers as a back protector

I could make a rack across the back that would carry four powerheads no probs and wouldn't be any wider than the panniers! :msp_thumbsup:

I'm probably ten or twelve hours north of you fella's in NE Vic.

Get Rudolf to pick you up on the way through.

Matt will have Wayne and Aaron.

Haha if only I had some time off for a road trip... a GTG would definitely be fun. Maybe the next one aye

I'm sure Andrew (Stihlman441) would be up for it, he is in Geelong I think.

Well where is it gunna be? I,d like to watch someone blow up a saw. Can maybe help with transport. I am in Emerald Vic.:msp_rolleyes:

Way too far for me to drive, I'll have to crate the furniture polish up and ship it to you guys.

I do like the idea of a 'crap saw build off'. Those bloody Yanks are mucking around with those Wild Things and having a ball. Those Ebay 72cc Chinese saws aren't that expensive and a modded one might even be work out as a good second saw.

Heck, if a bunch of fellows bought one and all started modding them, we might be able to put together a combination of mods to make them an acceptable alternative.

Yeah a cheap saw build off would be good. I have one of those cheap fleabay saw but the the 65cc version. It is actually based on a RedMax G621AVS which is 62cc. Its not a bad saw for the money - think I paid a bit over $100 +shipping for mine. They are rather heavy for what they are... but the chinese might have something to do with that.
I am a bit sceptical about the 72cc on a 62cc frame though... there have been some complaints about this seller regarding the inflation of true engine sizes.

went ok for what it was until the oiler completely stripped, still havent given it a proper test after my first attempt at what im gonna call a bodgey port. looking forward to seeing it fail in spectacular fashion though, hmmmm should i strip it again and "lighten" the con rod:hmm3grin2orange:

 

[masculator]

iam in the gull as well.

have to have a GTG then!!!

I know where there are about 300 stringy barks down that we could convert to fire wood or other stuff for the property owner!!! if we so desired, and there are some nice spots within a short drive! and I know blokes off other forums and such that would get involved.

 

[billyj]

[koshari]

a friend of mine has just got a new property that has 32 cypruss trees that need to come down, might be a job for an excavator/dozer rather than a team of saw though!

Don't forget to shave the fins off the flywheel, a true power mod.
