  1. I sold my ZZR 1400 to buy my gear for this hobby! Look up 'zzr french run' on youtube. That was usual travelling speeds across europe.... Never had a tyre blow. Now that would have been messy.... Dived to over 100mtrs, on single tanks, still here...! I think this flying is brilliant, best thing I've done in years. And people are so willing to help the newcomers. Good luck wherever you end up.
  2. Been doing that for a few weeks now. The most I counted for one ad is 12!!
  3. Looks like a kiddys paddling pool with the bottom cut out!
  4. Welcome, did you notice this thread?? viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6620
  5. Excellent, I just love the straight talking Aussies!
  6. I saw one just like that in Steve's garage on Sunday!! Looks like some good weather coming along - enjoy matey.
  7. Not sure where the land is mate, after having a night in with Havan Club and co. thimgs are a bit fuzzy this morning....
  8. Just happened to get chatting to a nice young lady a couple of weeks ago. Our eyes met across a busy pie table...blah, blah. Anywaysup, it turns out she had a 15acre plot of land for the garden!! As you can appreciate, her conversation happened to become a whole lot more interesting to me.... She was very keen for me and the wife to pop over on the way home to have a quick 'site assesment' This is out the back of Hastings way, so farmland everywhere! I could not beleive my luck, this was going to be such a scoop. Even her husband was very keen to see the paramotors in action. He's very much into qaud bikes and 4x4, so the ideal type of people. She did warn me there was a slight slope to the garden and a 'couple of trees' about..... Well sizzle my sausage, it just goes to show what people have ideas about the ideal site! After 3 minutes of staring about in disbelief, the summary is thus:- 7 acres are SOLID woodland, surrounding 3/4 of the entire plot. The remaninder is the house and grounds etc. The trees reach up to about 75ft at least. 8 acres are split on two levels with at least a 35 deg. slope all the way down, with lake at bottom area. The entire plot is situated on the side of a valley, hence slope of ground. So rotor, channeling etc. would be commonplace. Needless to say, the wife sat and drunk their wine, I started talking about qaud bikes and grasstracking..... The drive drive home was subdued to say the least. Onwards and upwards.........NEXT! And just to finish off my week. A good friend of mine is currently restoring a farmhouse that is set in 600 acres. A guy and his sister were left it in a will from the parents. And they let some land to a local farmer, the rest just sits idle..... The owners are constantly on holiday, and just ring up for updates. But its up near Silverstone..... All I need now is a hole in my new reserve......
  9. I thought I had seen that motor somewhere before!! Be careful George, these things bite back....... I can just see the headline on a certain site over the pond..."ANOTHER arm chopped off in un-certified motor accident"
  10. Lucky escape with just that damage! Could have been a lot worse...
  11. Crikey Si, that probably costs the same as a small family car.......
  12. Not at the moment Si. The margins are stupidly low, we are looking to mechanise rapidly to increase our gpm. Anyone on here work in the food production/packing industry? There could be a nice little job we have for you to supply machinery...... The farmer who is in partnership with us is really interested in the PPG. He said I could fly into work. Just a couple of probs to that offer though, He's based in Hastings and there's power lines running all over the fields!!
  13. Training has come to a temporary halt. The pie orders went up from 2,000 to 10,000 a match, plus they want a couple of thousand for the corporate side! We've created a monster....... Jo was being filmed for some foodie programme yesterday. Some ex-England rugby player presents it?! Big Bake off or some old tripe like that!
  14. Been working rather long hours lately - sorry Mr. Haze!! So thought I needed a 'treat' Just need a course on how to use the damm thingy Wifi data comms for the CHT and rpm Who needs a reserve anyway... All sorts of stuff & buttons.
  15. The wifey is not good - she's great. But, must come clean now...... Sold the 1400 to fund purchase of the flying 'hobby'!! Sold the RGV 250 to fund the RG500... And the story goes on. The RG5 is fun, but the rims dictate tyre choice. And the suspension is 25 yrs old - well, the rear is now a Nitron race unit. Forks need to go up to MCT to be sorted.
  16. Wish I could get in mine.... Monkey bike, RG 500 Pepsi, Kwak ZZR 1400, Aprillia RS 125, PW 80 Finished this last year... Stock rotates regulary, but the Pepsi stays!!
  17. I'll bring the pies.........

    Not sure on compatability with the Rotax lump, but might be worth sending a mail? http://www.brauniger.com/english/produc ... _plus.html
  20. I was having the same problem when I joined the site! Tried altering the settings on something in the laptop, but it made no difference. Then, it just started working.............. Maybe its Simons way of vetting people to see how often they try to login, make the magic number, and your allowed to join!! Only kidding Simon..
