45 here. I thought I was the oldest HQ'r that rides a banshee. (hence the name GEEZR) as in way over the hill.
My first ride was back in the mid 70's on a yamaha 125 monoshock. I rode that bike for about 5 yrs.
Then started back into it in the mid 90's with quads ,been ridin 8-10 times a year ever since.
As long as you feel good age does'nt matter to me . :biggrin: my hat's off to those 50+ , I'm right behind ya.
I'm sure some of you have seen this before but I still think it's fun.
I suggest you turn up the volume a bit .the sound Fx are great.

Thanks for these tips, folks. Looks like I'm gonna use my 5 gal. plastic jugs for lawn mowers and weed whackers.
GMAC , I was just gett'n ready to ask that same question, octane boost as a compensator.
It's very rare that I leave any gas in my tank , I try to ride to the very last drop. I've just been too busy the last 6 months and just thought I'd fire up the shee with the little extra fuel that was left over in the tank , perfomance sucked ::
I was just curious as to how long I can store unused premix gas before it starts getting weird .(octane decreases over time when mixed w/2cycle oil). I remember starting up my shee and riding it around for about 10 minutes, and it ran like crap with about a 1/4 tank of 6 month old gas. Then I put in a fresh batch of 32:1 with 91 octane as usual and it ran awsome. I'm sure premix will chemically change over time, but it's less than 6 months, I think. That's OK, I just use the old gas in my lawn mower (the unforgiving Briggs & Stratten 4poke) :biggrin:
I forgot to mention IceHouse. Not bad for an American beer.
Goes Ssssoooooo good w/pizza. :biggrin:
Anyone ever try Hefeweizen pyrimid ?? GAWD awful stuff , took one sip, and poored it down the drain. I would'nt even give it to a hobo on skid row.
HHAAA, HHAA, :laugh: I was J/K bout the Coors. Coors does suck indeed.
I like Sapporo, Asahi, Guinness X-stout, and maybe Colt 45. (for the heavy stuff)
On the lighter side: Amstel lite, Grolsch, Heinekin, and Rolling Rock.
This happened to my bro's bike once . When he replaced the coolant , he lost the little copper washer (without knowing), and it came loose and fell out during a ride. :ermm:
Yup, waste of $$. I bought one from Harbor Freight about 2 years ago for about 35 bucks.
Only good for stripping labels off of coffee cans in IMHO , and that was at 90 PSI .
I mainly wanted to strip the chrome plating off my Toomey pipes for rechroming later.
Hah !!!, forget it . It prolly took me 20 minutes just to remove about 4 sq. inches of chrome.
So, like dude , save yer money
Are they really necessary? For right now, I have it behind my fuel tank.
For those of you that have removed them, what do ya'll do with the overflow tube ?
Sorry if this topic was brought up a zillion times before.
Yess, Skidmark, your absolutaly right. I've tried this very same trick a couple years ago. I rode back to camp and noticed that the bottom roller was completely gone , but the top one remained on and seized up. I used both locktite AND lock nuts. Remember that the lower chain causes the roller to go counter clock wise, causing the bolt and nut to undo itself.
