Well, i was changing the oil in my banshee today and i happen to notice some metal shaving in the oil pan after i emptyed it. i never had this happen before, so im worried. i have not driven in in about 2 months, because on my last ride i crashed and broke my collar bone. Just before I did that i put a new set of t6's on it. it seemed to be running fine and had no probloms, but appently somthing is going on. The top end has about 2 years on it and the bottom end is still stock. Am I going to be rebuilding it again here shortly? I suppose one possible explnation but is probally just wishfull thinking is that the spot where you screw the oil plug in is partly stripped, it wouldnt just be the threads falling off woul it? thanks

i have rentals on mine and last month i endo'ed it in a bad jump, it landed upside down and the handle bars (along with everything else but my collar bone) was fine.

it might come to that , im telling you im going crazy not being able to do any thing and its only been a few days. maybe you can tape me riding around wuth a broken shoulder later

I got one and a half rides out of them before I crashed and broke my collar bone I was going up this little hill/ jump and when I caught some air at the top some how the rear end got kicked up and I nose dived into the ground, flipping the quad upside down and, throwing me off it, breaking my shoulder. But do not fear, the banshee is fine, its tougher than me it seems. So im sitting here typing with one hand wondering what im gonna do for the next 14 days because im in the army and the doctor gave me 14 days Convalescent leave (14 days off work, paid). the time off work will be nice but i cant do any thing, I just wish i could ride some more

when/ where are you gonna race this guy, i wanna watch

couldnt get ahold of you, but i'll be on the trail, parked in the same spot as last time morning or early afternoon, hope to see you there.

saturday is good, i'll give you a call tonight and we can sort out the details

sorry, just got the message tonight, did you go today?

good point, i suppose

Alright, thanks! i can have some fun this weekend now but how hard is it to undo it so th key is needed again. its not to important i suppose but i would like the key to be needed again.

Well, due to my forgetfullness i left my banshee key in another vehicle that is currently about a 1000 miles away. im getting it mailed to me so i will have it next week some time but i had planned on doing some riding this weekend. I heard it's not to hard to disconect somthing and not need the key to start it but i never had the need to do this, so i dont know if it really works, or what to do. anyone know anything about this? thanks

I got a truck to haul my banshee with now so i can do some more riding. Any one form Norch Carolina wanna go? Fort Bragg area. Kw04 up for another ride?

not sure on the spec's it came with the quad. i can fnd out later though. do you wanna ride this weekend? my van is fixed and im ready to do some riding.

cool, i should be ready by then

cant ride today, they got me doing a small job at about 4pm today. al i have to do is help one of the supply people take some food out to the feild, it only takes like an hour and a half but it would be kinda difficult trying to work around that seeing as its in the middle of the day. tomarrow im gonna try fixing the van over at the auto center, then i will be more flexible.

hey, i made it to bragg and am done with in proccessing. Unfrontnally the veihcle i drove down here is having troubles so i cant haul the banshee anywhere to ride. They put me In HQ co. for the 82nd division as the NBC NCO, my fist day was today seems pretty layed back. i wasnt expecting to get put in a admin co. But anyways hopfully here shrtly i will get my van (yes a van...) running right and we can do some riding

I'm a 74d Chemical Operations Specialist. What's yours?

sounds good. i'll be at bragg by the 22nd. dont know what unit im in yet other than the 82nd. gotta go through in proccessing yet. dont know how long that takes, but yeah i'll be there

well, im done with jump school, and i will be in NC with my banshee in about a week. im home right now(michigan) , getting everything ready. im gonna drive down so hopfully i can do some riding in the near future. hows the have any of yo8u been riding this time of year? im eager to do some riding down there if anyone wants to go when i get donw there. i'd appreciate some showing me some good riding spots.

i'll be there in a few weeks, how long have you been at ft. Bragg?

sounds good, i'll do that

the snow can be fun if you know how to use it. although yes shoveling it is no fun at all. im gonna miss having the snow, i dont think there wil be any where im moving to, but instead of riding my snowmobile in the winter time i can ride the banshee

how is the riding this time of year? once i get there its gonna probally be a few weeks before i am able to get the banshee down there. what kind of terrain is it?

im not to picky on the types of riding,i like about anything. im used to wooded trails back home, hill climbing is something else i like. i went to the dunes one too, thopught that was fun. as long as there is a fair amount of riding area i will be happy. thanks for the info, i might take you up on that offer, im not sure where in NC Ft. Bragg is though, any idea to its whereabouts compared you you? thanks
