  1. I'll give you a shout as soon as I've spoken to my mate.
  2. I've just had a closer look at the design, Si. Are you sure a drilled centre tube is the way to go? That system works OK for powder burning guns where flame flash is an issue but with an airgun, it's not as effective as just keeping the sound absorbing material out of the pellet's path with some kind of mesh. I know that HW do literally use hair curlers, but what could be better for the job in an airgun? I know it sounds gash but if you think about it, why not? Cheers
  3. I have access to a lathe, Si, but it's a basic old thing that lives at a mate's house. I'll show him your requirements but I'm not sure it'll go that fine. I'll drop you a PM once I've spoken to him. Cheers.
  4. I hope they're paying him well!! One of the main things I like about your place is the governments relaxed attitude. We can't do feck all over here without some twat or another looking over our shoulder and wagging their finger at us I've been into off roading for most of my adult life and 'they' are closeing tracks and lanes for no good reason except to keep those wet, soft, moaning, geography teachers ramblers happy. Janet Street Porter?? I'd have that bitch strung up and whipped with razor wire!! Enjoy the freedoms you've still got, mate She'd probably enjoy it mate , we h
  5. Bloody hell, Daz, even for Theoben that's bloody slow service!! Good luck with it, mate, I hope it's all you expect Cheers. Just to add... IF I was ever going to go back down the PCP road, I'd get a rapid.
  6. White dog poo but I'm not quite sure how you'd use it in your hall.
  7. As above, if they're ferral they're fair game but don't get hung up on the pets thing. There's plenty of folks who keep rabbits, pigeons and doves as pets

    I'd agree with Jai and Rake Unless there's a good reason to shoot them, leave them be. They can be shot at sensible ranges with a sub 12ft-lbs rifle just the same as rabbits. Their boddies may be bigger but their heads aren't. Cheers.

  12. Just don't take it to Swillington, they're fecking clueless Tried to fix my friend's Night Stalker and fecked it up three times Give Wighill Park Guns a shout, mate. They're good to deal with. Cheers.
  13. I've always said anything more than a hand full is a waste, but I think I've just changed my mind!! Class find, Jigsaw
  14. I used to live for my bikes but after my second son came along nine years ago, my bottle went totally Sold the Gixer and I've not ridden since. I do miss it sometimes but I really can't see me getting another road bike though. Maybe an off roader when business picks back up, I love that!!
  15. I've never owned one but I've ridden a couple of Gammas, one of which was Herron Suzuki's own demmo biks and that was fantastic. They did cheat a bit with the press bikes, they were all specially selected and had blue printed motors Be nice to see the pics, Chimp I never really rated the RD500, it just seemed to feel like Yamaha held back with it somehow and it was never the bike it should've been. Still a great bike though!! I love'd those clips, Jasper, the noise of a two stroke multi made me come over all funny
  16. Yammy OWO1 brings back some memories Andy! remember wanting one of them as soon as I clapped eyes on one . a Pal had a FZR1000EXUP a good few years ago which had been tweaked here and there, he also before that had a GSX1100. I rode the GSR and went on the back of both bikes but have to say the EXUP was pretty lethal. Another bike that would of gargled piss for many years ago was the Yammy RD500, what a 2 stroke monster ....... had a rd 350 and 500 awsome machines would have another straight away i got offered one 5 years ago for £700 , i should of ripped his arm off

Another bike that would of gargled piss for many years ago was the Yammy RD500, what a 2 stroke monster ....... This FZR was pre EXUP, Jasper. It was supplied directly to Padgett's from Yamaha's R and D under strict instuctions that NO ONE messed about with it othe
  18. I worked for Padgett's in the mid 90's and they had both Foggy's 851 (888) and Hizzy's OWO1 and also Dave Leach's proddy ( ) FZR1000. I rode the OWO1 around their car park one day but Leach's FZR was road legal. I wanted to buy the bike from them but they wanted silly money for it. One bloke did buy it one day and I blagged the job of PDI ing it What a bike!! Not like any ordinary FZR, not by a long way. Made the Blades of the time feel like tanks!! I take it thats Clive Padgett you worked for ? Ian Hutchinson won all 5 races on Padgett's bike's last yr , which has never been done be

  25. Beggers belief Just another classic example of how hard core religion fecks people up. Must've been 'god's will' that the dog escaped then. Pillocks.
