Use Mirror Brite. It says right on the bottle "approved by truckers" so you know it's the shit. It will get your wheels lookin like chrome.

Listen to me closely, Do not go to Glamis on Spring Break. Go to Glamis on Thanksgiving or New years. If you guys are wanting to find some real spring break fun, load up your Banshees and go to Rocky Point, Mexico. Also known as Puerto Penasco. This is where all of the younger crowd goes for spring break. Just imagine.....Beach riding, sand mountain, riding your Banshee up to any bar or club you want (atv's are allowed on the streets) and the drinking age is 18. It really isn't much farther than you are already traveling. Plus, you can hit Glamis on the way back. Just pack a bunch of advils and a bunch of rubbers.

I run a Pioneer cd head unit in my T.J. It kept playing after I layed my Jeep on it's side. I have had an Alpine head unit in another vehicle, but due to the AZ heat, it kept blowing up. It wouldn't blow fuses, it would just start smoking. I went through 2 of them. But it may be due to the autio express that installed them. As far as anythin else other than head units, look into Rockford Fosgate. Their amps and subs are designed and made in Tempe, AZ. They can withstand all kinds of rough treatment and alot of heat.

Get a Dodge Cummins H.O. Quadcab four-wheel-drive with dual lockers. Then drive over to an english teacher to learn how to spell.

I know exactly what they will be like. The same as the last 15 or so models. Only more expensive.

Would It Be Worth It To Part My Bike Out?
SANDSTAR replied to bignasty1's topic in General Banshee Discussion
If it runs good, you should get 3000 for all that stuff you got done to it. If it's beat, part it out. Just take good pics and sell as-is. -
Now lets say you equip a stock shee with shocks comparable to a 450. Now all the power will get to the ground and throw sand all over a 450. Mod both bikes the same, the shee wins period. A 2 stroke responds to mods much better than a 4 stroke.
-
A banshee will beat a 450 stock for stock. Pretty close, but in the sand, the banshee wins.

Well Glamis Was Happenin This Weekend
SANDSTAR replied to Spank_N_U's topic in Riding and Events Forum
I was there on thx-giving weekend, and it was INSANE! I have gone every year for six years, but this year was out of control. Comp Hill on Saturday afternoon was unbelieveable. I bet there was 10,000 people just at Comp. Friday night at the drags was crazy, but it got crazier when the cops showed up and started shooting people with paintballs filled with tear gas. Saturday night was more of the same, except when the cops showed up, everyone moved to another location. All the diesel trucks were draggin and chicks were showin tits to start most every race. I was driving my buddy's Dodge Cummins H.O.(white quad cab) and I smoked every truck that wanted some. What a bad ass weekend. Anyone that hasen't been to Glamis on a holiday weekend dosen't know what they are missing. Go ahead and bring your pimped out shee. There will be 500 shees that will make yours seem like a stocker. Cool to see what others are doing to their shees,too. -
I'm 26

Boonman, I really hope you take your talents and your obvious ambition and put them to work for you. I really mean that. After being horsewipped for eight years by liberal politicians, I'm just very skittish about anything empowering someone over my busness. I understand where you are coming from, but I have to cover my ass and my busness. I'm going riding.
-
Blue Duece knows what I'm talkin about. Its kind of alot to digest if you haven't been put in the position of trying to keep a busness afloat. Overhead is a bitch. The gov is a bitch. I'm just trying to feed myself. If I screw up, alot of people get screwed. Can't hand out money like its christmas. Lower my taxes and I'll give everyone a bonus.

One more thing guys, do you ever wonder why the price of stuff seems to rise faster than your pay? Remember 65 cent gas and $2500 banshees? If you all realized the amount taxes, tarriffs, permits, fees,etc.. add to the final price of goods, you would not support the people who are doing this. I pay through the nose to do things by the government/enviromental book. Most of those fees are bullshit moneymakers for some gov program. But in the end, the consumer is the one who gets screwed, and thats all of us. Democrats are taxing us into the poorhouse and giving it all to illegals and crack whores. They know stupid people don't question free money. Its all about buying votes. Most unions tell their members how to vote, and most members follow like sheep and vote the way they are instructed. Ever wonder what closed door deal was brokered by the union leaders? What was in it for them? Who are they to tell you who to vote for? Most of these dumbasses don't even understand what they are voting for. Educate yourself then liberate yourself!

Boonman, why are you mad at me for saying you didn't go to college when you said yourself you didn't get past the sixth grade? I'm not coming down on you for that. College doesn't guarantee sucess. I have friends that didn't graduate high school, and I am quite jealous of their pile of loot. I understand that you are not part of a union. Thanks for the clarification. There are a bunch of guys out there that are part of a union, and all I'm trying to do is to get them to start asking why their jobs are dissapearing. I associated you with a union because you were quoting a union rag. As for the overtime, anyone retarded enough to stay with a job that would screw them like that deserves it. An employer can't force you to work more than 40 a week. If you, or anyone else for that matter, are valued by your employer, you will get paid. Most of my guys never ask for a raise. They just bitch amongst themselves about it and take what I offer when the F/Y rolls around. A few of my guys have figured out their worth to me and demand justifiable pay. Believe me, they get it, too. I have two formen who made five grand less than I did last year. But they get shit done and I reward them for it. They don't keep track of every 15 minutes they work for me. Often they are still working after I go home, and I work 14 hr days. Thats how you get ahead in this world. You must make yourself so needed, that It would kill your employer if you went to work for the competition. Bitch about OT and your boss will remember it. Offer to do a little more than the next guy, and your boss will remember that too. As for the founders of this country, boonman, the little guy did not set up this great country. The true founders of this country were busness owners who were sick of government telling them how to run their companies. They wanted to be taxed less and have more control over their own lives. I am not a Democrat, I am not a Republican, I vote for whoever is in line with me at that particular moment, as well as whoever will help me achieve my future goals. As for the scrambler crack, I was heated at the moment and regret stooping to such a low level. I should have said you sound like a 400ex rider.

Also, there is a difference between a salary and an hourly worker. What article did you copy boonman? Plagarism is illegal, and last I checked this isn't a union forum. Even you union guys know someone at your work who is milkin' it all day so they can get some OT. Companys can't be profitable with union slugs pulling strings. No profit, no job. Ditch the union, go to your boss like a man and negociate the pay that you think you are worth. Dont be a pussy and pay someone else to do it for you. Simple as that. I think we all agree that the Government(dem and repub.) is just gonna screw all of us no matter what we do. All I'm saying is the democrats and the unions are not looking out for you. At least the republicans don't care where we ride, and how much fuel we use. I'm not mad at ya boony, but the way you cry about your OT makes you sound like you ride a Scrambler.

Hey boonman, I'm not your buddy. If you did own a busness, you would know that the first objective to having a busness that won't fail is to lower costs. Labor is part of those costs.If the unions drive labor costs above what they are worth to an employer, that particular employer will close shop or find cheaper labor. You would have learned this in college economics class had you gotten past high school. Illegal workers are not crossing the border because Bush is creating lower paying jobs. They are crossing the border because your boss and most every other employer can't afford to pay you what you THINK you are worth. Your worth is what someone will pay you, not what you hope someone will pay you. Also, I find it very intersting that you avoided the environmental aspect of my arguement.I guess you support those people who want to take our Banshees away. I will vote for Bush because he opened all of Glamis to rec vehicle use for the first time in years, as well as the fact that he wants to drill anwar to give me cheaper fuel for my thirsty Banshee. 34mm Keihins use alot of fuel.

For years all you union guys have drove up the cost of labor, reduced worker productivity, held strikes that affect the rest of us, supported the democrats (who want to close all riding areas, as well as ban all two strokes), and have made average guys like me mad as hell to hear about prison guards making $120,000 a year. Your union leaders have put you all in this position. Your bosses can't afford to pay your probably too-high-already hourly pay as well as expensive health care, dental plans to fix your jacked up grill, paternity leave, bereavement leave, a gang of paid holidays, sick time,vacation time, and college tuition reimbursement. you guys think anyone has sympathy for you if you support the political party that would love to rip every Banshee away from us in the name of enviroMENTALISM? The Democrazies want to ban you from your favorite riding spot, period. And as for your damn overtime, ask anyone from Wheeler Construction here in Gilbert, AZ how their union has helped them. They are currently being fired because the company can't make money with a bloated payroll. Soon, cheap labor in the form of illegal mexicans will replace all union workers in this company. I find it interisting that the democrats who you support are the very ones who are inviting the illegal mexicans across the border to take your overpriced jobs. Stop worrying about overtime. Start worrying for your job. People start a busness to make money, not to make a laborer rich.
