  1. THESE PILLS ACTUALLY DO WORK. The real reason I havent been around here for so long is that I've been constipated for the last few months. I found these pills and it feels like it's added about 7hp to my shits ......and the pill actually helps you get your shits up to about 11,000 rpm.
  2. Finally got everything going good around here and dug up some banshee parts that I'm gonna be selling in the next couple days so its time to dig into my engine. I'm looking for a good solid +4 stroker crank that I can get upgraded bearings and still pay as little as possible for it. Basically I'm looking for the cheapest place to get a good solid stroker crank thats gonna hold up to the type of abuse I like to punish stuff with. There's gotta be a good go to place that someone on here can send me
  3. can probably get the camcorder for pretty cheap on ebay now. It's a sony trv330. I bought one used on ebay with a ton of options (filters, extra tapes etc) and extra long batteries for 300 bucks. The original one I bought new about 8 years ago for 800 and broke the tape closing mechanism in a hard wreck when I was using their cheap ass fanny pack that came with the helmet cam. The camera has a firewire connection, usb connection and a/v inputs and outputs. It's 700x zoom and all in all a really nice camcorder. I run a waterproof backpack now (its an ironman back pack) that has a waist and chest straps. The helmet cam is a helmetcamera.com camera. I got the 480 resolution (my buddy has the 380 and the picture sucks compared to the 480 on tv, the 380 is decent but the 480 I feel is worth the extra money in the long run) I got the lan remote which makes things a lot nicer. I've got dvd's of my riding experiences down at Hatfield-McCoy but cant figure out how to get them onto this computer (p.o.s. that I built out of the trash) If anyone could put some of it on the computer for me, I'd send the dvd's for free. I've got a dvd recorder that I put them on....just dont have enough slots for my firewire card and the usb d/l wont load right.

    Dual Carbs

    I've got a pair of 30mm mikuni carbs I'll sell to you for 150 dollars + whatever shipping is. They're just sitting around for right now, was gonna use them when I got the stroker engine together, but thats been on hold for over a year now :shrug: Just leave a message for me here and I'll get back to you in a day or 2. Dont get a chance to get on here much anymore
  5. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. Been really busy lately trying to start a new business and get my garage set up for it. Birthday was pretty boring actually, everyone's always all solemn now, that and it was my make up day for recycling (week after labor day, so I had twice as much recycling to pick up) On a good note though, I went to the opie and anthony traveling virus show the weekend before and it was an amazing time, Bill Burr was an awesome act. Yeah, I still have the 2 banshees. The one needs a clutch and the other needs a stroker crank still before I throw the ported top end on it. They're hanging from my garage ceiling right now collecting dust while I try to get this whole business thing running. Gonna be opening an ebay store where I put the stuff on ebay for you and will come to pick it up from your house even etc. I've been talking to other businesses like that in the other counties around me and they say they are doing quite well. This weekend I'm actually gonna sit down with the one guy and look over his books. We're far enough away so we wont be pulling business from each other so he's happy to help me along. Along with the store I'm gonna be having it as a shipping business. UPS, FedEx, USPS. I'm also gonna have it that will come and box and ship it and you'll never have to leave your house to ship something. Less work for you means more money for me :biggrin: So anything good going on around here? Been meaning to get on here more often, but seems like every second lately has been stolen
  6. Happy birthday man, thanks for all the help through the years. One of these days we got to get out riding......one of these years when the banshee gets back together.
  7. what's bluetraxx? Never heard of it
  8. the one banshee I have has +2 a-arms and a stock axle and it turns on a dime. They say your backend tends to slide out more and doesnt want to stay as straight when getting on the throttle, but I dont notice a bit at all. The other banshee I got (dont know why it was ever set up like this), came with stock a-arms and a +2 axle on it. All the thing wants to do is push through any turn. It doesnt want to turn at all. Needless to say, the 2 axles are going to get swapped out when the 2 bikes get torn down over this next winter.
  9. awesome to hear your back to riding so soon man. Takes a lot to hold onto a banshee. Rehab, rehab, rehab and you'll be good as new. You're lucky you got a warning, many dont, looks like you're going to be taking advantage of it.
  10. I said that she is going to be working part time coming up, because I've put myself in a position that she can quit the job she has, to be able to have more time with the kids. I've completely rearranged my life and sold cars and struggled to get rid of any debt. Since I'm selling my dakota to have cash in the bank, and selling her car to get rid of the car payment, I had to scratch together money over the last few months to do that. And thats why this irks me so much. I'm taking a few bucks from the government to be able to make this process a little easier, such a slim amount that its almost ridiculous that your bitching at me for it when theres people out there living off your tax money. I guess you people think I'm over here going na na na na na na, but personally, I think its pretty sad that I have to scam the govt in the first place. They'll hand out checks all day long to low lifes that do nothing all day except watch their cable tv that the govt is paying for on their leather couches, but wont help me out with 80 bucks a month for a couple months because we make like 800 dollars to much a year.
  11. Thanks to those that are sticking up for me First of all pay attention before you get your panties all in a ruffle. My fiance wakes up at 5 in the morning, drives 20 minutes to drop my son off with my mother and my daughter off at preschool. She then drives 30 minutes back to school for accounting (which she is paying for with her GI Bill). She gets done school and drives 20 minutes back to work which she starts at 11:00, and since the first lawnmowers started up and trash has gotten heavy with yard waste, she hasnt been getting home until 10:30-11:00. And as far as me working a 2nd job....its almost impossible to find an under the table job around these parts and thats pretty much the only way I'd be allowed to work. You know what I do for a living brooke, did you happen to forget that I have a CDL license. I'm only allowed to work 60 hours a week. Which leaves me about 7 hours a week I could work. Every weekend I'm doing side jobs with my brother in law, putting up fences, retaining walls, siding, stone veneers, stucco, roofing. You name it, we can do it. My truck blew a transmission and it cost my 1300 for a new one. I had money saved but it dwindled away quickly. In the last 7 months I've been moving things around trying to get myself in a position so my fiance doesnt have to work the hours she does and have more time with the kids. I've never stolen a thing in my life, not even a bolt from home depot. You think I like doing this? Things were coming down to within 10-15 bucks a month when the bills rolled around, and a couple times my account went negative, which was an extra 32 bucks that I had to be able to suck up the next month. Like blue deuce, I have plans and ambitions, and if 80 bucks a month from the govt is gonna help keep them from slipping away, and have me end up living out of a car like him and his wife as you said, then I'm going to accept the help and one day when I'm in his position, hopefully I'll be a better man and not put down the person who is in the position I once was. If you want someone to bitch at, come with me down to philly and I'll show you 4 different homes that look like complete shit on the outside, but are palaces on the inside. And none of them work, they just pop out kids and sell the food stamps and grants and everything you can imagine from the govt. Anyway....I think I'm done with this.....you guys will never obviously get my position....and oh yeah....my banshee has been sitting for over a year with a bad crank....it can wait, I'll have my chance to ride it again one day. Sure, I could sell it to buy the formula, and I'm sure you guys would respect me a lot more for it. But I'd much rather suck out the 1/100000000000000 of a penny out of each of your paychecks Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, the one guy at my work, he had twins, and he's struggling too. I've been giving him half of the formula we get. I've got the last payment on my truck coming up in a couple days, and I've got enough to cover it. By the time my son runs out of formula, I'll be able to afford to buy my own.....and the formula I'll still be getting with the checks will be going to him. I appreciate all your comments.....not that I care about them because you guys obviously dont know a dingleberry about me (its obvious by the comments). Except meat, a man who has never met me, has never really had a personal conversation with me, but seems to get who I am and where I'm coming from. Thanks to the few that seem to get it.
  12. Just like they came after the father of her first child when he up and left when his daughter was only 2 weeks old. You think we'll ever see a dime from him? Personally...I dont care if they come after me. I'll be in a better situation at that time. Like I said, at that point times were tight. In a perfect world, I'd like to have been more monetarily secure when we had this child, but the reality was that wasnt going to happen, and I wasnt going to be 50 raising a 15 year old. As far as getting a pad, that was one of my rules. We were living in a 2 bedroom apartment and I said we cant have a kid until we buy a home. Why do you think things were so tight in the first place. And by the way...this place isnt a shithole.....but it aint no fuckin palace either. Oh and by the way Sandstar. I do have a TV, I got it from my safety points at work, I do have cable (its my one splurge...and its basic cable), I do have an air conditioner, it came with the house and we put it in our bedroom when its above 90 degrees and the kids sleep on the floor in sleeping bags. My cellphone is provided to me through work, I pay 10 bucks a month for it for private use, and its my only phone...my fiance does the same. And this computer....its a flying 750mhz that I got out of the trash that just had the motherboard left in it. All the rest of the components I've stolen out of computers that were in the trash too. If you really want to get into it, I can give you a lay out of all my bills and what I bring home every month....but basically over the last 7 months I've had an extra 300 a month to pay for gas, food, clothes, diapers, and all the other essentials. Sure, I could get by and squeeze even tighter. I just dont get it....you bring me down like I'm some fool thats raping the government and driving your taxes up, when I'm the person that the assistance was truly meant for in the first place. You guys act like I'm not out there busting my ass every day, that I'm living off the government, and that I'm not paying the same exact taxes you are.
  13. 400 a month? Thats some expensive formula. The cans I get are 12 a piece and he might go through 6 a month. Thats 860 I'm gonna save through this whole thing. Give me your address sandstar, when I get back on my feet and my son turns 3 and I get my businesses going, I'll send you a check for busting your ass so much harder. Hell, I'll fly you out here and we'll go ride the coal hills, and then afterward we can chill at my establishment, drink some beer, eat some good food, shoot some pool, and listen to a good band. Until then, I appreciate your hard work
  14. There is never a correct time to have kids. Sure if I was making 6 figures and live in my nice 400,000 dollar home it would be the "correct time". I'm going to be 29 in september, and I personally didnt want to be 50 by the time my son goes away to college. If you want to talk about us being freeloaders, take it to someone who doesnt bust his ass for a living and sits at home living the "american dream." Dont worry about working a little harder for me to pay the damage I've done to society. I consider it as taking a loan from the government. Dont worry, by the time I retire I'm sure the government will get its money back from me for the formula they gave me, plus enough to feed 10 babies of parents that work minimum wage jobs and just want to continue the family name. I can afford to feed my kid, and I will always be able to. I'd work 3 jobs if I had to. I'm just getting whats mine. I've never asked for anything from the government, and probably never will again. My fiance has done her time as a marine and probably has done more for this country in the last 8 years then you ever will. I dont feel like anything is owed to us, but if they are going to offer it to make my life a little bit easier for a year and have to juggle less bills, then call us freeloaders all you want and put us in the same class as people that live off the government.
  15. And you think that she isnt paying for it?, and you dont think that I'm paying for it? Dont you think that I'm going to be paying for other people's baby formula for the rest of my working career? I'm busting my hump day in and day out, and hell, we were short on cash, thats why we held the 2 mortgage payments until she could go back to work. The extra price of formula at the time would of made things that much harder. Would you rather see the money your spending for formula go to someone like me that is struggling, or someone that is just living off the government pumping out kids for food stamps? And to think.....they made the limit of kids you could have to get more money six......hell....I only got 4 more to go then I dont have to work anymore :: How is the state going to come after me? For child support? My fiance would have to file for it first.
  16. this is a lot to read, but I just went through/am going through what you are right now. the secret is to not get married..... My fiance and I have been together for 5 years now and just having a new baby things would be rough if it wasnt for a few things. She is still working as of right now, but she doesnt go into work until 12, and I'm done on my latest day at 2:30. She drops my son off at my mothers, sometimes for only 45 minutes or so, and then I pick him back up. I'm now in the position that my fiance really doesnt have to work. I got rid of her car that I was paying 250 a month for (2001 sunfire), and bought her a 93 jeep cherokee with 100,000 on it for a grand. My dakota is on its last payment and I'm gonna get rid of that and drop that cash into my savings account. I'll be driving around a ford bronco II that I paid 400 bucks for, until next spring when I get my tax return and xmas tip money, then I'll get my 2003 HD F-150. Basically I just downsized everything, and stopped buying stupid shit. Like instead of soda, I carry around water with me in my cooler, with bottles that I refill. I pack peanut butter and jelly for lunch instead of stopping somewhere for a bite to eat. Anything that I dont have to spend money on, I dont. Here's where the not being married part helps out. She qualifies for assistance because she is a single mother. We get all our baby formula for free (other stuff too, but thats the main part). And when she gets this new job working 20 hours a week (scheduling for a school, can work any time she wants as long as its 20 a week). Reason she's working at all is so we can go out to dinner, or go to a movie, or do other stuff we want, and she wants to contribute monetarily. 5 years ago I was only making 35 grand, and she was only making 12. I drive a recycling truck and have built my routes up probably bigger than most in the country, and we get paid per stop. I pick up 6500 homes a week, so if they give me a penny raise, its automatically 65 bucks a week, or 3380 a year. They have no choice to pay me, and I've almost doubled my salary, within the next 2 years, I will have. In the last year and a half, I've bought a house and had a son. Things are still tight, but they are getting better fast, because of the choices I made. There's never a right time to have a baby, you just have to, and adjust your lifestyle to make everything work. MY ADVICE TO YOU Eliminate all the extras, if you cant get rid of a car payment, find a good reliable vehicle that will give you a tiny payment, and then pay every extra penny you have to the principle to pay it off quickly. Get rid of all the stupid little card payments, like sears and all that other BS. (that was my girls problem) Sit down and write out all of your expenses for the month, and then see what you take home every month. Whatever the difference is, you know how much more you have to work to stay afloat, and working more means getting ahead. I just recently went through this, my wife is getting driven into the ground at work doing 2 jobs (other person is on maternity leave and fmla), as soon as she said it was to much and she had it, I bought the cherokee, and sold the sunfire. My dakota payment is gone. Thats 650 bucks a month right there. When my son was born we halted 2 mortgage payments, until she went back to work, I'm paying an extra 350 a month until august to catch up on them. All in all, come august, I'll have an extra grand to spend a month, just by getting rid of payments, not to mention all the other bullshit that adds up quick. I dont know exactly how your business works, but a good solid job that you show up to will always work. Family might see a little bit less of you, but you'll be providing a good solid home for them for the next 5 years until they start going to school. By now I'm sure you know that a newborn will wear you out quickly, but being tired is secondary, gettin paid is primary.
  17. I havent had a chance to meet you yet, but best of luck to you man. I hope all works out well. Hopefully I'll be able to ride with you guys one of these days. Do everything possible to get better and just keep pushing.
  18. They are actually auctioning off that beetle up the road from me. My buddy is all into beetles and building a pretty fast one with a big turbo actually. They are selling 2000 tickets at 20 bucks a piece. My buddy bought a book of 5 and they gave him an extra one with it.
  19. cb is a good guy chopperwolf, I and many others have dealt with him before, just to take that load off your shoulders, being a newbie and all
  20. I agree, when I use my scroll up and down this color combo or something is making my eyes hurt pretty quickly....hell....I've only been here 15 minutes
  21. wow...havent been on here for a while, this new design is weird'n me out a little bit. We've got an OLDDD honda 250 dirtbike that we rescued out of a barn that doesnt have a reed valve system.... Reeds are kind of "new" technology. Reeds are there to give you low end, and dual stage reeds are "really new" technology
  22. You would have to have a non solid rear drive axle, basically you'd need some sort of housing around your axle that would keep a rear wheel attached in some way if something broke, or an a-arm setup. After that, the rest would be candy, hardest part would be getting a rz350 frame with a title. some turn signals, a horn, etc etc and you'd be good to go then in PA..... So I've been told. There are quads that are legal in PA, but mainly they are 4 strokes, and 4wheel drive with a-arm rear suspensions.
  23. It's not a stupid question but one that has been asked a million times....much like most of the questions you ask on this site. If you are really asking questions about how much tread left to change tires and truthfully have no clue....then maybe riding a banshee isnt for you. You should go find a good ol reliable 4stroke that you dont have to maintain at all. A polaris would be good for you, just take it to the dealer every once in a while for some oil and grease and you should be good to go As far as this question goes.....see that little word at the top that you can click on called "SEARCH" ......try using it sometime
  24. @ inside
  25. you guys gotta be running lean or something 200 is stock at 1000 feet You still have your airbox lid on? Get yourself a foam kit if you ride in water or mud at all and take that lid off, your stifling the motor I still cant see it being that low
