As a daily mover of muck, I'm well-versed in the fast paced world of shit-shifting. I've been there and done that. I've steered some of the best and worst, and I have a workshop full of damaged/dismantled machines to prove it. But despite this, of course I did my research. Extensive reading of 'Barrow Buyer', 'Which Wheelbarrow Weekly' and 'Manure Mover Monthly' just made the task of wisely choosing the right machine so much harder but I eventually plumped and pulled the trigger on a pair of high-tech cutting-edge Haemmerlins.
For those of you who for some strange reason may not be aware of developments in performance barrowing, the Aktiv Premium is right up there. The Bentley of barrows. You can keep your excel rims, mousses and tub-liss - these have the latest in solid unpuncturable tyre tech. And a 250kg carrying capacity! You can't quite see the ohlins cartridge forks in this shot but believe me, these will corner on rails out of the stables and perform at the top of the heap.
Obviously I am a bit worried about my first crash. I can't even bring myself to remove the packaging yet. Piloting such pristine equipment brings responsibility, but I feel up to the job, ready and raring to test my new capacity to shovel shit uphill.
