    Fits across the back of the XJ900 on the top box. If you want to get a
    small packing tent, you need to pay in the region of 100ukp IMO

    I paid 44 quid for my Vango Gamma 250, which packs neatly into one
    Oxford Sports pannier without having to expand it. There are a few
    outdoor places doing them for roughly the same price online, or even in
    shops.

    Oxford
    Got a Delta 200 for 39ukp, going to take it out the bag to pack and tie
    the poles under the top box.

  7. I got one of those, 600cc I think 11hp. Not dissimilar engine wise to
    a hardly ableson ;-)

    I may start doing that, just so that you lot know what it's like. And it'll
    drive darsy up the fucking wall, too.

    One of those figures is wrong, I'm sure. Entry-level tractor/mowers
    like mine tend to use 400cc singles, giving ~15bhp. Many of the
    slightly larger models are now using Kawasaki V-Twins of between 400
    and 700cc, the largest developing up to a massive 21 bhp or so.

    So either you've got a big fucker and misquoted the power or it's
    smaller than you thought.

    My first summer job was cutting the grass at a mini-mansion in Aston
    Clinton. One day I came whizzing round the final hairpin onto the back
    straight[1] & nearly flattened Roger Moore. Turns out he was friends
    with the owners.

    [1] Yes, I did have an imaginary racetrack around the grounds. I was
    young, ok?

  16. I remember seeing one at the Bol that definitely wasn't.

    Some twonk tried lighting a fire with petrol, and it took out the whole
    side of some geezer's tent. he wasn't impressed.

    Then again, it may have just melted rather than burned. It was fucked,
    anyway. One of the mags actually ran a picture of it.

    Aye, well, I was just having a wee think about this, so I was, and I might
    just deploy the entire panoply of Ulster linguistic eccentricities from time
    to time, as seems appropriate.

    Be mildly afraid.

  19. I sit and ride corrected, it's 14.5hp and one of 2 engines, either
    465cc or 500cc.
