  1. the parents of those kids are the first ones to place blame everywhere but with themselves when the kids get hurt or killed
  2. maybe its time to leave the moshing to the teanagers. thats going to screw up work too. i know how that feels. if your stuck at home at least you can watch judge judy, judge alex, judge joe brown, judge mathis,judge hatchett,and of course dr. phil. hope they are just sprained. a couple of cortisone shots and some tape and you will be wheeling around the dunes just fine. :angry:
  3. "i informed him that this is Texas. you are supposed to throw the beer cans from the cab into the back of the pickup, which has been well known for years as a traveling wastebasket." david crowell, municipal judge in south padre island, texas, who for almost a decade has dealt with an annual college spring break deluge, on his advice to one student who appeard before him after throwing a beer can out a pickup window and hitting a police car. i lived in Texas for 17 years and many a beer can made its way from the cab into the box while living there. in fact when i first moved there in 83 it was legal to drive with a beer in your hand. i got run off the road one time by some drunk mexicans, and when the cops showed up they only spoke spanish. the cop was a big a$$ dude and he said " boy, your in america, speak english", and he did. dont mess with Texas! :angry2:
  4. well, i checked the cooling system this morning. full with no air in it to be found. i just put a new billet pump impeller in it. i guess i will pull the cover off and check the drive gear.
  5. you banshee experts out there, do you have to purge the cooling system somehow after putting on a cool head? i took mine out a while ago after doing the top end just for a few mile brake in run and it was fine. i took it out today and ran maybe 8 or 9 miles and coming back it was kinda uphill and it started running like it was hot. it didnt boil over or anything. it may be something else but i know that feeling when the motor tightens up. i shut it down. let me hear it from you experts out there.
  6. ha ha! i didn't even make the connection.
  7. i havn't seen my favorite budwieser sweat shirt/ hoody since halloween at dumont. my daughter was wearing it for a while out there but i cant find it anywhere. maybe she took it off and left it lying around.
  8. you dont get it. the trans case with oil in it is not the crankcase. they are separate like bert said. water in the crankcase wont go into the trans case unless there are serious seal or gasket issues. of course then i think it would really run like crap too. if at all.
  9. electrical problems suck. i had one a couple years ago with my warrior. out of the blue it wouldnt start. put a used cdi box on and it fired right up. went to take it out that weekend end and same problem. the local dealer helped me out and tried both cdi boxes on a used one they had there and it was no good. turns out my stator was bad and i guess caused the cdi to go out. i checked the stator with an ohmeter and compared it with a known good one on another warrior to confirm it was bad. maybe your local dealer can at least check your cdi box to make sure its not that.
  10. i personaly really like the look of those rails. these new ones with the fancy painted panels, wings and all that crap dont do anything for me. nice cars man!
  11. depends on the type of race gas. some have alot more oxygen in them. may make a difference.
  12. ya, mike knows his sh*t. he's been messing with those motors before they made there way into the banshee. he showed me a cool little port trick drilling holes into the transfer ports. did he do your porting? i did my own with one of those sport port template kits from race logic. a saturday afternoon and some patience and it worked out great. let me know if you want to ride this weekend. im definitely taking mine out to get some time on the motor.
  13. SNORE needs volunteers to work in the timing trailer to keep official time of all the race vehicles for next seasons races. they need 3 people for each race and are goint to pay 125$ for each person, each race. if you want to get involved with SNORE this may be a good way to do it.
  14. i saw that thing on the travel channel on million dollar motor homes. it is way cool. only takes a few minutes to pull out the pontoons and air them up. it has a separate pto on the motor for the prop so he switches from wheel drive to prop drive without skipping a beat.
  15. i believe you mean gubler as in jeremy for unlimited prerun buggy right?
  16. i hear ya. i went to the sand drags at primm earlier this year and saw a busa powered banshee waiting in line to run. i was excited to see how it did and yes it got killed off the line.
  17. bring it out here for your breakin. i redid the motor on my banshee and need to get some hours on it also. i put a noss cool head on, ported the cylinders, new clutch, did away with the air box and just running dual k and n filters with outerwears. put in 340 jets. i took it out for about a half hour before i had back surgery and havn't been out since. im ready to ride. we ride right from the house here out to the desert. i live in henderson next to black mountain.
  18. the one im going to build is a 66. i just bought a cd book off ebay on the ins and outs of building a baja bug. i will burn a copy for you when i get it.
  19. getting an early start to SNORE racing. the guy im racing with, his name is rich, decided to race in the terrible 400 dec. 3rd. he said im gonna ride with him and switch off driving. he's gonna try and get the car ready this week and i suggested he bring the car out here to the eldorado valley for testing. he liked that idea. so next weekend if anyone wants to take the quads out with us it should be a good ride.
  20. dont forget about a can of soup. that sh*t blows up too if it sits in the fire long enough
  21. i hooked up with a guy that just moved here in august and raced SNORE this year for the first time in the 5/1600 class. im going to be his co driver for next years season. im going to help him on his car and he offered to help me in building mine because i have a bug which i plan to do the same thing with. he is going to bring it out here for testing in the eldorado valley where SNORE races. im going to meet with him some more this week. im sure we are going to need pit help next season. im looking forward to it. SNORE has some great people involved and it should be a fun experiance.
