    brookie must be upset that i took away here attention whore spot

     

    LMAO!!!

     

    :yelrotflmao:

     

    I've debated this over & over since the deal with the last banning. It's damned if you do, damned if you don't.

     

    Honestly, I had to put my tail between my legs, unban, and walk on to other threads and mind the site and just work forward.

     

    It'll be pretty extreme now if I ban someone. The only exceptions so far for bans have been spammers, to which I ban their IP/Email/Name and suspend their account indefinitely to make sure spam is kept under control.

     

    Other than that, Helldriver and anyone else that's controversial... if this many people are in an uproar about you, it may be for a good reason. Why put wd40 on the fire? I'm not singleing you out, but this is the HD thread...so I'm addressing anyone who are causing others to come out with their opinions. Personally, I have no qualms with you, so it's not a personal statement.

     

    To anyone who doesn't like the person, skip the thread, post, or do as I do, and utilize the "Ignore User" feature for anyone's posts you don't want to see/read.

     

    You all know those of you who made the ban policy lighter. I was all for ruling with an iron fist for years, but apparently it's not the popular vote when it affects someone they like.

  8. what does lees shee look like?

    Here is Lees Banshee, I got your back homie :beer:

     

     

    Ellison, that is a smokin' shee. Wish I could claim that as my own :) but the one I had wasn't nearly as pimp as that one.

     

    For now, It'll have to be the crotch rocket and v-dub mods to work on.

     

    Who knows, maybe this winter I may just do up the project quad, and cure my withdrawals from the shee.

    Haha, here we go... again.

     

    Unlike a certain someone trying to call me out.. I HAD a shee; it's in my profile pic. I keep it in there for nostalgia. I bought it in 1996, sold it in 2004'ish.

     

    HOWEVER... I still run the site out of loyalty. To just say screw the site, because I sold the shee to a friend (who incidently, had been begging me for years to sell to him), wouldn't be right. You guys expressed how much you use the site (and the web-log statistics show it) so I keep the site going and use advertising/premiums to pay for upgrades, add-ons etc. as you all know.

     

    It's no secret to the people who've been here, but for anyone who wants to know, I'm honest enough to tell the story.

     

    BTW, it was originally red/white/blue when i bought it but put Maeir black fenders and a CEET seat cover. Did some boring of the cylinders (.40) and put toomey's on. Later put some nerfs shortly before i sold it.

    Figured I'd share my pic from Southwick a couple of years ago (carmichael behind the guy on the left). Always good to see RC go all out. It was great to see "Bubba" out there on the track too. They're both very competitive riders and set new precidences for the MX scene and other riders.

  19. mountain bikes

    Milo, here's my take on getting a trail/mountain bike:

    As a long time trail and generally off-road adventurer (sp?) I've found time and time again that if you get mainstream gear, you'll get mainstream life out of it. If you plan to take the bike out often you don't want to get stuck out there w/ damaged parts (or at least you want the damage to be minimal).

     

    About 5 years ago, I bought a Specialized, after having some mediocre bikes. I waited & priced. Then just went to the bike shop here and they hooked me up with the previous year left-over. Priced at $100 or so less than retail, for a new bike; i couldn't say no. The difference between the Specialized and the mediocre/mainstream bikes, was that I still have and use the Specialized. You can certainly find one for $350-$450. Learn as much as you can before spending the money though. Talk to people about what kind of riding you'll be doing so they can help you with the right fit, otherwise you might get a bike that wears you out too soon or counterproductive to your style of riding.

     

    The same goes for hiking and kayaking for example. I've learned my lessons with both as to, hold out and spend a little more to get the right gear.

     

    If you only plan on going out once in a dogs age... then a mongoose from Wally will probably work for ya.

     

    Just 2 cents, from the guy up in the north country. :)

  25. 2007 banshees and blasters in canada

    Quite often the case is anything that gets imported to the US for motor vehicles, if they are illegal to sell in the US, they have 'importers' which essentially get the motor shipped separately from the rest of the frame/body. This could go for the Canada banshee where if you had someone to take out the engine you could have two trucks go up there, pick up the engine and the rest separately.

     

    When you assemble it in the US you register it as a "kit". Not only is this a loophole for legitimacy, it is also cheaper for registration and often insurance.

     

    People do that with right-side drive Skylines, etc. There are special importers for it. Just have to be careful who you can trust.

     

    There are stipulations state-by-state though.
