DIY Chainsaw/carryall tote for your dirt bike!
If you are looking for a way to carry a chainsaw on your dirt bike and don't want to buy one of those expensive $200+ dollar units then look no further! Check out the pictures of the one I made from an old milk crate and some hardware that I had lying around the garage. I simply took my number plate off and the used the same bolt hole as a mounting point. I also used the 2 bolts that hold my hand guards to the bars as mounting points. I then started the chainsaw up and sawed a slot down one side of the crate. Strap a bungee cord around the saw and you are now ready to do some trail maintenance. It is very sturdy and you can moto along at an almost normal pace. Let me know what ya think. Ride On!

Sweet
Next spring or hurricane let me know and I will follow by a week or two
But by means leave us a trunk or two cross wise.
Better still go out and give us a tree or two here and there cross wise:)
Nothing over 5' you crazy basturd.If you want to ride let's ride and if you want an attitude well we just need to do some more ridding.
Life is good and life is fare.

I would highly recommend you reach out to some of the clubs who have adopted trails within the Forest. They are always looking for willing hands. We had a moto guy join our mtn. biking club last year so his trailwork hours could be counted and his efforts could be kept track of in American Fork Canyon. He hasn't regretted the decision to come on board and is now our top trailworker. He likes the direction, training and resources the club can provide and he likes working with our USFS contacts. Another plus of joining a club is since we fall under the direction/supervision of the USFS, we are covered by their injury insurance. Fortunately, none of us has had to use it (knock on wood) but its nice to know it's there. We have also been officially chainsaw certified by the USFS. Technically, if you aren't certified directly by them, you could be cited for chainsawing out deadfall, regardless of your chainsawing experience. I had run a chainsaw before, but going through their course I learned so much more that I hadn't thought about before, such as all the physics involved in a cut. It was also a huge plus to be trained by Rangers who cut all day long for a living.
Are we there yet?
