Is our life so long we have time to abuse others like that?

@Cordite it’s a joke, seems like it’s fine for some people to take the piss but not others sometimes in here

Apologies @systolic, was just calling you a cheeky bugger.

My apologies for how that came across McNotty, don't take me that seriously either.

Anyway, Systolic can defend himself perfectly well when he bothers to.

No apology needed and no offence taken.

It was a “minties” moment I reckon...one mans humour is another’s mans.............

Great info thanks!

I bent a piece of reinforcing rod in a C shape and hung the plate from bolts on a piece of old climbing rope. That allows stretch so impact doesn't snap it like chains do. The figure 8 knots give a bit of bulk so centre of gravity is offset and it angles down. I slide the ropes off the rod for transport and carry them in a small sack. Wash your hands after touching the gong as it will be covered in lead.

Nice. That’s a great trick with the reinforcing rod. How long do the ropes last?

1/1000 millisecond... But the idea is not to hit them. (-:

Mate are you off your meds? No need to be polite

My rigs are boxing with pins to take the chain loops. The frames are shot to shit now after inviting various forum members to come for a hoon

Have you thought of using a tractor tyre?

Have you thought of carrying one over a few hundred metres

If it's a tyre, wouldn't it be easier to roll it, rather than carry it?
