Isn't it obvious, he's a plasterer & he got to a job & realised he'd left his tools in the other motor, if he wanted to get paid he had to improvise with what he had in the boot. Simples😜

I think it has been said the fairing/headlight shroud could be likened to an ugly child, only his mama could love him🤣, thankfully you can't see it when your riding. Will do, although I've not been to Box Hill in about 25 years, last time I set out to go there with a plod mate of mine, we got pulled about 10 miles away, jolly nice black rat who could have thrown the book at us 😇, & then warned us to stay away from box Hill that day as he was on his way there to meet up with colleagues & cane everyone who had small numberplates & moody exhausts, which we were both guilty of lol😇😇. Jolly nice bloke, very sporting of him👍, & me mate didn't even have to show his "get out of jail free" card.

Well, I took the plunge & now own my first Italian, & also my first twin, initial impressions so far are good, pulls like a train (even with my fat arse on it lol) & generally feels great. Only 20 miles done this evening but I've got a pre-op on Thursday so I'll do another 100 then, mostly winding Country lanes so good opportunity to test the handling 😁 & yeah I will be losing the cissy backrest 🤮

I can agree with that, one of my old regular sites bought a load of ready made velcro armbands, they were great for most of the younger players, but some of us real "men" had to attach two together to make them fit our ample "muscular" arms 🤣💪

To be fair, even the Ukrainians are using tape & armbands, all over the media, any wonder civvies are thinking that's the military norm 🤔. Should have wound them up with some mad completely over the top war story lol

Agree, I'm a bit of a water snob anyway, i only drink the tapwater at home if its boiled in a cuppa, most tap water seems to have a "taste", & usually gives me a sore throat ?, wtf that's about I don't know ?. But most supermarkets own brands are more than palatable, especially when ice cold, so I usually chuck 8 litre pack in the chest freezer the night before, time I need it on site it's started defrosting nicely🥶 While site owners have a reasonable duty of care to clients, it's shouldn't leave them out of pocket just to protect the Darwin award winners amongst society (all your doing is delaying the inevitable lol).

Damn right, plus your average bellend knows what he is, & probably shrugs off the insults, but insulting a blokes missus, that's like a kick in the balls😭

I'm undecided 🤔

Managed to click on the title instead of the latest post, so started at the beginning again, scrolled down, I know everyone is shocked about how long he's been getting away with it, but I think I'm more horrified about how pigging ugly his bint is, that is one wretched looking witch, clearly he's not using his ill gotten gains on beauty treatments for her🤮

I thought the schools don't break up til next week 😜

Geartechs jobs are awesome, even the ridiculous bright nerf style paintjobs look right, no easy feat. I've painted a few of mine in the past, nothing fancy, which I think is where some guys go wrong, trying too hard if you haven't got the arty farty skills. Mine were just some random dustings in no particular direction or order , with krylon obviously, as I think that's another area that guys go wrong in, yer Halford etc colours tend to be too bright & too shiny, too artificial, krylon rocks🤟

You speak for yourself mate, I'm a god of war AND............

Cats, yeah I get that, but my divvy Niece called her first kid Fred 7 years ago, no issues, & then 4 years ago had another sprog, AND CALLED HER ROSE FFS. & we're like "really, Fred & Rose" & she's like "I don't know what your getting at" ?

Dude, it's an appraisal thread, if you want to make him an offer do it via pm

For anyone that hasn't seen it, probably the most awesome shootout ever filmed👍 Just watched it for old times sake, now I want another FNC 😍

Dean's are a definite improvement over "baggy" tamiya's, & can be bought with about 4 inches of wire already attached, much easier than soldering the actual contacts. Mags I'm sure are fine, but be aware that pretty much all bb's will degrade or swell if not kept 100% airtight & out of the light, sunlight or artificial, they're more temperamental than gremlins lol.

Welcome back, I've got a tm m4s that's probably been in regular use for 18+ years, never even serviced, & still performs great (I've just jinxed it haven't i😭), so if it's doing what it's supposed to, get out there & use it, I just hope that the "upgrades" you've already done didn't allow the TM pixie dust to escape 😉

No disputing it's a cool bit of kit, but it's not cheap for an occasional Airsoft loadout that's fairly limited in its use, for example, no Hydration capabilities, would I want to wear a full suit just to achieve the "look" at this time of year ? 😜 PS, wasn't there an rmp covert vest not unlike that for considerably less shekels ?

I remember back in the day when these were a "thing", sought after & expensive, but the fact that at least 2 other manufacturers have made their own capable versions will knock your price, plus the faulty rear stock, unless your able to repair it ? Your only saving grace, as has been pointed out, might be the internals if they're of a suitable high quality, although I'm doubtful given that back in the day internal choices were limited & not always high quality ? Currently best price, £150-£200 if it works OK Edit, my apologies, just reread & seen the recent upgrades internally so I'm assuming it works fine, if they're a proven good quality, stick another hundred on the price so ballpark 250-300 ?

Lol, my googleFu is weak, I've tried cross-referencing everything German made in 7.62, I'm thinking a 417 variant but the 12 inch barrel is stumping me & pushing me towards an mc51 type carbine. 🤔

OK, so no pics, but what did this new "sooper gnu" resemble, m4 variant ?, bullpup ?, you can't leave us hanging😬

Definitely, British army always trained to be competent first & foremost on iron sights, often at extended ranges, those are the skills that never leave us👍

Let's be honest, if you were attempting to run a professional site, how hard would it be to have some laminated sheets at a permanent chrono point for immediate reference, along with a selection of proven weight, decent quality bb's & one each of most platform mags. I never get why most sites call people to a hastily prepared chrono, usually balanced on the edge of a makeshift range, & usually manned by one lone Marshall while all the other Marshall's stand together in the safezone swapping war stories & generally doing feck all 🤬
