Maybe with a little Japanese ninja on it who is a drag champion or its like volkswagens claims on emissions.... very inflated, and given my last time there was August last year, I dont think i did too bad, iv built a baseline and getting myself under 2s 60ft is literally 0.01s away which is nothing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted yesterday at 08:35 Share Posted yesterday at 08:35 I need a new welding mask, this inverter Tig is definitely producing light at a higher intensity and starts up too quickly for my old mig mask. Anyone here have any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do but it doesn’t react quickly enough on startup, I also want a wider viewing port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted yesterday at 11:23 Share Posted yesterday at 11:23 I see my VED will cost £125 next month, still could be worse, after years of getting people to switch to electric cars the government are rewarding people with VED of at least £200 a year after the first year plus pay per mile to start in 2028 so if they do 10,000 a year they will be paying at least £500 a year. On the plus side electric motorcycles are exempt and currently only pay £27 a year VED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted yesterday at 17:49 Share Posted yesterday at 17:49 Well the Harley is partially stripped down now, exhaust system off, transmission and engine oil drained and cam cover off, cam tensioners look okay but I will probably replace the shoes while I have it apart.

I think i have but the pull to play rugby again is still very strong, but my body has definitely paid its dues to the game and drag racing is easier on the body for the most part, im back to the pod on the 11th April 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YamaHead Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago Well, covered over 350 miles today over to Emmett ID & back. Mrs. Hook's appointments went off w/o a hitch...even enjoyed an All You Can Eat pizza & salad lunch for $13 ea. Even after a pretty dry winter, its nice to see the Elkhorn Mtns. still coated w/ the white stuff as we head back west towards home, about to drop into Baker City OR... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone here have any recommendations? I have a mask with a 3m Speedglas lens. I’m no welding expert but I find it pretty good with a good colour transmission and adjustable shade settings which go up to 13 if I recall correctly.

I’ve been recommended to try the Sealey panorama, true colour lens with wide view port and very fast react time, fully adjustable, probably going that route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Sealey stuff is rebadged, you could well find the same item cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
