Nik's Poulan Thread

Worst auto wreck. Three years ago heading to go deer hunting. Feel the pain every day. Back seat on passenger side is sitting where the front seat is supposed to be. Front seat was almost under the dash. Teen driver took me out and two other cars. What happens when your not looking in front of you and speeding. I was sitting still to turn. I took out another car after bunching off a guard rail at a bridge.

Yeah cheaper for sure and to be fair it's still a buzz hanging onto a big saw with a mean chain and nice oil in your gas just a different buzz.

Steve that must have been rather interesting to say the least. I hit a car head on about the same speed and that was me on compo for a year

Thanks, I hear it now and then from the guys I work with at the dealership. I've had a few close calls at work cause of my reaction time has slowed up. Last week was helping a guy remove an exhaust system, assembly slipped out of a guys hands and missed my head by a few inches, just a 6 foot drop. I decided to limp on back to my little 4 bay shop where I work alone in the quite.

Gets frustrating when some days I feel like I have Alzheimer and can't remember somethings. Better than it was a few years ago, I would know a person or thing but couldn't remember their name or what it was called. Everyone knew it was frustrating for me. I would hurt. But a have better memory days than bad, just don't ask me what I did a few months ago. Physical, that's a different story. One day I'll get my Harley out, wash it and get it running. Haven't riden it after that day. Ride the hound of of my 4wheeler though.

I showed all my saws to a good friend today. This is my only bike, never wanted to have a street ride.

I really enjoy the off topic chat on here it helps get to know you guys. Steve I hope you can get out on that bike before the summer is gone.

Very nice mini bike Todd those we things are a hoot.

I need to find a big poulan I've been cutting some massive wood lately but can't be putting up Macs on here all the time here's my 3 year old on a 5 foot log

That is a big tree...

 

[s sidewall]

Well you see that irrigation pivot, he's watering the hound out of them and giving them Miracle-Gro

What saw is that and what bar length? Just curious... Some big 'ol trees.

 

[rocketnorton]

Kenny Roberts Yamaha tz750 dirt track bike would have been awesome.

Steve Sidwell

fxd.

+poulan content...

 

[EngineNoO9]

The TZ750 was awesome. Love when he rode it in 2009 at the Indy Mile. Didn't go slow or do a parade lap. He straight ripped it! He's an absolute legend!

I think chainsaws have that cool 2-stroke bad ass sound. Was telling a friend I don't mind working on saws. But I loathe the thought of working on a weed eater. It simply comes down to saws are way cooler and they also sound way more rad too!

 

[s sidewall]

This is the bike, OW48R.

Hopefully they came to nz

Mac pm800 so 82cc and 32inch bar not huge but still big enough though.

The pivot is the reason the trees are gone sadly. Trees are being wiped out left right and centre here for irrigation huge tall shelter belts from the sheep farming days. Looks like green desert now I hate it yet I build the dam milking sheds lol.

That bike is sex on wheels the sound of those old smokers is incredible. Should never of got rid of 2 stroke gp bikes

Kim Newcomb you guys should Google him. Was a kiwi guy in west Germany and carried on with a guys idea of a konig outboard engine in a gp bike this bike got the ball rolling for 2 strokes on the tarmac and he was very fast he got killed at Silverstone in a horrible way due too a pompous old English *******. Would have been a world champion next year for sure on a 2 banga. Yamaha and the rest stood up and went oh wow and the rest is history.

Any way more trees


Do any of you bike men know of the Britten?
