Is a tree feller similar to a bushman?
I used to know tree fellers from Ireland, but one emigrated so now I only know two.
Does the tree felling lead to roofing work when it goes wrong?

I'll get my coat.

Maybe "I'm also a roofer and tree feller" is a euphemism for summat else!

Are those the same tree fellers that stood on the building site all day wondering what the hell to do when the foreman brought down some new shovels and told 'em to take their pick?

I worked in parkhurst forest and bristone forest on the isle of wight as a tree feller and conservationist this was in my late 20s it entailed felling trees which is relativity easy as apposed to doing it in someones garden so yes a bush man.in my teens also on the island I ledt school with no gcses as you may tell an worked as a labourer at 15 an worked my way up the ladder so to speak till I was trained as a slater and peg tiler all done traditionally .my hobbies at the time were building motor cycles by strugglimg to read books and basic revese engineerinimg this hobby spiraled out of control an I now own a complete one off 1.386cc air an oil cooler drag bike along with two stroke crosser the landrovers the home made gravity bikes the lot and that is where the mechanics fabrication and welding all came from .sorry for the long boring answer .and thank you for a reply .kind regatds dan

Can we assume by your username that the drag bike is Bandit based?
And can you post some pictures? There are quite a few bikers on LZ!

Not too much - I've changed the intakes to FJ ones, Beowulf cans, and a Predator stainless tubular collector box. All of those bits restrict power. Or at least, they did!
