harbor freight sells the crap that fell off the baot and landed in the harbor, and stayed there for a few months.i wont buy anything there unless its something im only going to need 1 time and plan on trashing it. one of the guys i work with bought a floor jack from them and ended up having to use a bottle jack to get his truck off the tools and the floor jack that gave out when he was trying to swap the rims and tires on the truck

you are 10000% right the only person you can blame is the shooter. but at the same time you can in a way blame the staff at the school and the local P.D for not making 10000000% sure the shooter was dead gone or totaly out of the area before lifting a lock down. everyone remembers the school shootings in san diego? Santana high and Granite hills high. both schools and local P D did the right thing on both of those ( boh schools are a 10 min drive from my house so it was big here) but they didnt let anyone go anyplace for any reason untill the shooter was no longer able to shoot...yes they diodnt know where or who the shooter was and no you cant blame them for it, but they should have made sure they knew who and where the shooter was before lifting a lock down...someone said you cant know how to react untill you are faced with making that decision..well i believe everyone does what they think is right at the time..well i personaly would have locked the place down untill the shooter was dead or in custody of local PD. why do i know how i would react. because when i was 18 i worked at a theater that some crazy fuck came in and started shooting and i took it on myself to make sure nobody went anywhere untill the cops shot the fuck out of the dude..but like i said yes they messed up and yes they couldnt have known but they only messed up because they DID NOT FIND THE SHOOTER BEFORE LIFTING THE LOCK DOWN..YES ITS THE SHOOTER TO BLAME BUT YOU HAVE TO FACE FACT THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER LET ANYONE OUT OF THE BUILDING UNTILL YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AND WHERE TO FIND THEM FIRST.. sorry for the book but this realy pisses me off to see this happen again..next were going to have another sniper roaming the eastern states taking random people out who just wanted to pump the gas into the car or go to home depot for some lumber for the tree house for the kid or what ever it it they did the day the got taken out by a damn sniper

here is what i dont get.. from what i read on the net and i might be wrong, but the yahoo home page said something to the effect that students on the other side of campus were not notified for 2 hrs after the shooting started and the notifacation was an e-mail? here is a small clip i cut and pasted from the yahoo home page news.. Students bitterly complained that there were no public-address announcements on campus after the first shots. Many said the first word from the university was an e-mail more than two hours into the rampage

SWEET nice find.. you scored on that. even if you put another 1000 into it thats a smokin deal..

oh yeah she wanted the ktm 525 but im not spending 10k on another bike. she loves the crf 450 though. she rides my brothers all the time and then is upset when she gets back on her 250f.. and yes i do need her permission to build a new motor and i will admit that untill the cows come home.. just like she would need my permission to build her bike., we have the perfect relationship because we COMMUNICATE..and because of that we never have had 0ne fight, and we both always end up getting what we want. i asked her 6 months ago about this build and she asked me to wait it out a bit. now she just gave me a budget of $3,500 to build a motor and $2,000 for suspension. but she wants a crf 450, so i build the banshee up we save money and get her a 450 we both get what we want and we are both happy..WIN WIN SITUATION..

so the little lady finaly gave my the thumbs up to build my banshee. all i have to do is buy her a new crf450..but now the question is what to do with the build.. so im looking for ideas and what not for this fun little project.. i ride 80% sand (glamis) and 20 desert racing (baja type races) so come on guys start throwing out some ideas for me.. the only thing i know for sure that i want is a fast fast fast yet reliable motor. i have the suspension on order already so now its motor time..

i would definately say go with ITP over douglass any day. im running the itp on all 4 and they are solid wheels. i folded 3 sets of douglass from just hitting rocks at speed. the itp rims i hit a train track doing about 55 and although the bike stopped and i kept going the fromt rims didnt even have a ding. the offsett will bring your front end out just a bit and you will notice a difference. just a little bit of extra width up front helps alot.. ITP also has the baja series rims that are bullett proof, i have a buddy that ran 40 miles in a desert race on a front flat with the baja style rims and it didnt even scratch them

i put the ims 5.6 gallon tank on my bike and i know im good for 85-90 miles of prety hard riding. i can ride from gordons well to glamis and dune around glamis for about 1-2 hrs then i need to go fill up.. in a desert race i can do 3 25 mile laps then i have to fill up to complete the last lap. i have also noticed that in the dunes i burn more fuel just because i play around more. figure a good dune ride you hit a bowl you like a few times find a nice jump hit that a few thousand times go race the hill a few hundred times. dune around for a bit find a big fun bowl another jump and haul ass back to camp.

thats exactly why all my friends call my banshee the blue banshee of death,, she screams like hell and everyone that has ever got on her has come close to death..even me.. there is not one person that rode my banshee and didnt go to the emergency room after... i wont even let anyone try to ride my banshee anymore, 5 people have riden it and 5 people went home in an ambulance. i took that ambulance ride twice myself. the banshee is mean,evil,screams like mad,and likes to hurt you. thats how they got their name.

im in san diego..we got the chargers who kick ass all year long smoking everyone, go into the playoff's looking like they are un-stopable and are going to win the super bowl.. show up for the first game of the playoff's and forget what a foot ball is. they forgot how to taclke they forgot how to catch a ball they looked like a pee wee pop warner team and got their asses handed to them...then we have the padres who kick ass all year get to the playoffs and forget what a baseball is, theyu cant hit they cant catch cant pitch..so yeah i feel your pain man..im a die hard loyal charger fan but my god do they suck ass

found this on a google search hope it helps From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search A pair of Malossi reed valve blades made from carbon fibre.Reed valves consist of thin flexible metal or fiberglass strips fixed on one end that open and close upon changing pressures across opposite sides of the valve much like heart valves do. They are intended to restrict flow to a single direction. [edit] Two-stroke engines Reed valves are commonly used in two-stroke engines to control the fuel-air mixture that is admitted to the engine crankcase. As the piston rises in the cylinder the resulting vacuum opens the valve and admits the fuel-air mixture. As the piston descends, it raises the crankcase pressure causing the valve to close to retain the mixture and pressurize it for its eventual transfer through to the combustion chamber.[1] Given the fact that they operate via air pressure alone, reed valves are not as precise as rotary valves since physical inertia causes them to open later than the optimum time. Manufacturers have attempted to address this in part by creating multi-stage reeds with smaller, more responsive reeds within larger ones that provide more volume later in the cycle. The repeated flexing of the valve material eventually causes metal versions to fatigue and fail to seat properly while fiberglass ones will merely snap off and be digested by the engine. [edit] Pulse jets Reed valves are also used in valved pulse jet engines, such as the Argus engine in the German V-1 flying bomb. Their function is much the same as in a piston engine. They are pulled open by a partial vacuum created by an overexpansion of combustion gasses. The open valves allow a charge of fuel and air into the engine, which explodes, increasing the internal pressure and closing the valves. The cycle then repeats. [edit] References

so it seems alot of the people on here know eachother prety well. i was thinking it might be kind of fun to introduce yourself to all the newer guys and the guys who dont know most of the other people on here. i was thinking it might be kind of fun to let everyone know who we are where were from what we do and so on just to kind of give everyone an idea of who they are talking to and who it is that is giving them info on their banshee or offering help with the issues we all face as banshee owners. maybe list any special areas of skill reguarding your banshee knowledge? so i will start this off.. my name is chris in from San diego, i work as a service and sales rep for a company that designs and builds equiptment used in pharmacies, our product is in 99% of the pharmacies in the country everyone from Wal-mart, Target and CVS. to the mom and pop shops. i started riding motorcycles at the ripe old age of 3. i got my banshee brand new in 2004, i use it for dune riding and desert racing. i took 16th in my class last season with only doing 3 races last season, due to a crash that put me out for the season. my main area of skills when it comes to the banshee is riding. im not a great wrench, but i can get that banshee through some areas that 99% of the people cant. most of the guys i ride with are all on 2 wheels and im usually the one leading the way. alot of guys on 2 wheel bikes cant keep up with me on the banshee. i am teaching my fiancee to ride, this is her first full season on a 2 wheel bike and so far she is passing up some of the boys out in the desert. she is going to start racing in the desert as of september..i started riding the dunes of glamis and gordons well with my day when i was 4 and i have been out there ever since.

i get Quad magazine and quad sport.. sand sport is a great one too.. but quad and quad sport both have some great stuff..

dont run watter wetter with anything other than water. anitfreeze or other additives make it get all weird and chunky in the radiator... i use watter wetter in my truck and bike and i noticed that when mixed with anything other than sraight water it ends up with some weird reaction and soon you have a bounch of chunky stuff floating around the cooling system it looks like small chuncks of poopie floating in the radiator...

the 2 main things that help the banshee in a hare scramble are gearing and suspension.. i run a 14/44 set up and i get that low end push out of the corners and the tight areas.. and as we all know you can only go as fast as the suspension can handle. stock front shocks on the sheee suck, get a good set of front shocks gear a bit lower and go for broke.., i have smoked alot of 4 stroke 450's in desert races..40 % bike set up 10% mental and 50% physical. if you are out of shape and get tired you can be on a rocket and still get smoked. but if you are in good physical condition and can run hard and fast for a good solid 2 hrs over some of the roughest shit the race promoter can throw at you then you should be good to go

that is 100% normal, the pipes should start to blue right away. my fmf fatty's started to blue within 20 mins of running them the first time. it has nothing to do with jetting its heat. example take 1 pipe off the bike and apply a flame to the inside of the pipe where it conects to the head, it will start to blue the instant it starts getting warm. put it back on the bike and watch the other pipe, by the end off a good solid day of riding both pipes will be almost the same amount of blue in color and area of the blue.. its when they are not starting to do that that you have a problem. or if one turns blue and the other doesnt. if you dont like the blue on the pipes they sell some polish that helps remove the blueing. i have never used it but i hear it works prety well

just for the record the only reason i know about this shit in cosmo is the fact that i live in a house with 3 women.. cosmo and all those stupid ass mags are going to be there no matter what. i agree its not a first choice of things to be on the coffee table, but at the same time i put up with some of the bullshit and the rewards of living with 3 very cool open out going women is prety cool...

here is a link to beer belly racing. they do video footage of local races out here in so. cal. this video takes a few to load but it is well worth the wait..after the video stops scroll down the page to part 2 of this. it sais what a cuncussion sounds like click the words and watch the next part of this video.. be sure to turn the sound up and listen to this guy talking and cout the times he asks what day it is...... he had a hard fall and its worth watching, he did go home in an ambulance but he is ok and back out racing.. http://www.beerbellyracing.com/mcfarlandcrash.html

here is the way i see it. your kid can go to any local store and pick up any magazine and see women in bathing suits, half naked or what ever. hell sears. wal-mart, target and any other store that sends out info on their sales have adds that show up in every mail box in AMERICA with photos of women in their underware. go pick up a copy of surfer magazine next time you pass the magazine stand and in the first 10 or so pages you will find a reef brazil add with some smokin hot chick in a g string showing off her perfect ass. pick up a copy of cosmo and read the shit just on the front page, titles like 100 ways to make her cum, 50 ways to give your man the perfect bj. this kind of stuff is all over the place. i personally do not see a problem with kids looking at a nice set of titts bouncing around, its not like they wont see thge weird chick in the walmart wearing some slutty get up, or a tv commercial for the new wounder bra. its lame that censorship is so lopsided. look at the way kids are being raised these days. we are trying to shelter them from reality, anyone with a kid around the age to play little league knows that now days you dont strike out any more, if you get 3 strikes the coach comes out to pitch underhand to the damn kid. they dont keep score so no feelings are hurt when yourt team gets their asses kicked. now days if you spank your kid its child abuse. if your kid is in a regular seat belt and is under a specific weight you get a ticket for child endangerment. we are training the future of our country to be a bounch of sheltered pussies. how many of us grew up in the 70's and 80's when it was common for your dad to whip your ass for doing something bad. hell i got the 3 inch wide leather belt a few times. now today if i bust my kids ass with a belt for doing something that would require a good ass whippin im going to jail for abuse and the government is taking my kid and basically selling them to some shit bag foster home. im not sure of the law in other states but here in San Diego if you are under 17 and on a bicycle not wearing a helmet your parents can be fined for endangerment. we are raising a society of spoiled rotten little pussies. there is a middle school right around the corner from my house. back in the day we had a problem we handled it after school like men we meet and beat the hell out of each other and it was settled. i saw a fight the other week 2 boys about 11 or 12 out in the street by my house they were slapping eachother and pulling hair. that just goes to show how sheltered our kids are becoming. double up that fist and use it.. i yelled out the window "PUNCH HIM PUNCH HIM" to the kid losing. he took one solid punch at the other kid and the kid started crying and ran off. problem solved. that kid wont get picked on again at school because now he is labled a bad ass. we need to step the hell up and teach our sons to be a man not a little woosie boy. and our daughters need to be even tougher to handle the boys that are gonna come their way. so the real problem is not a few setts of bouncing tittts. its that we are letting our kids grow up so sheltered they are going to be a society of pussies. i watched cartoons as a kid and i never tried to drop an anvil on someones head because i saw buggs bunny do it. i never shot anyone because i saw elmer fud try to shoot buggs. it never crossed my mind, but now days its tabo for bugs to drop an anvil on elmer because its too damn violent. i say screw that raise our kids to be good strong citizens not a bounch of weak ass panzies who cant see boobs and women in their underware. sorry went off there a bit. but it pisses me off..!!!

hey wait i wass suposed to get half of the money from king joffee jofer!!! damn so now does that mean we have to split the $10,000,000,000,000 that i was prommised???????

yep some of these guys now are spending $20 to 30 k to build a damn rhino.. for that kind of money you can buy a descent buggy or truck to race.. i just dont get this new golf cart craze, im starting to see more and more glof cart type toys in the desert now days and i just dont get how it can be fun to go 25 mph through the dunes in a damn golf cart. yamaha polaris all these guys jumped on the golf cart band waggon and are making a killing on them now too. next thing you know were gonna see tiger woods driving around pebble beach in a suped up rhino with elka shocks and xm radio blasting... i say keep your golf carts and farm carts on the golf course and on the farm and leave the deserts open to the real men with real toys.. i came inches from being taken out this past sunday by some little kid driving around ocotillo wells in daddy's rhino with his little buddy's.. i cant stand these damn golf carts out there they are slow and dangerous to other riders, just because your golf cart only does 30mph does not mean you dont have to look and watch out for other riders

i get that crap all the time so i decided to reply to one to dig a bit deeper into the scam and find out what the real deal is. what happens is you reply and get this total sob story from them about how they moved to some 3rd world country to help build schools and other community related centers but when they were there they had a husband killed by a robber of cancer or some lame excuse. but now they cant take the 10 million dollars out of that country's bank unless it is donated or some stupid shit so they tell you they will pay you some stupid ammount of money (they told me 2.5 million when i replied) if they can wire the money to your bank account. all they need is your account number and routing number so they can complete the transfer, so just to see what happened i sent them an old closed account and routing number from an account i had a few years ago that was now closed. i contacted the bank to inform them that i would like to know if there was any current activity with that account and told them the whole deal. so what these people do is get some dumb retard to give them their bank info and they go in and suck your account dry. i was told by the lady that was going to send the money to my account that i had to have atleast $1,000 in the account to complete the money transfer because the government of what ever country she claimed to be stuck in had to have proof that there was a legit account with money in it. well less than 24 hrs after i gave the info i got a call back from that bank to let me know someone was trying to authorize to have $1,000 debeted from that account.. so yes this is a major scam and many stupid people fall for it and end up broke as hell in the end. i did a bit of reserch and the money goes into an account in some 3rd world country and from there is transfered to many other accounts (some times 10 or more ) and finnaly arives at its final destonation back home here in the states where from there it is imediately withdrawn and turned into free cash for some asshole stelling from good hard working citizens..

i went to get gas in my truck on the way in to work this morning and the price sign at the station said $3.09 cash price and $3.19 for credit or debit cards..what the hell is that bull shit. i get a discount if i go in the store and talk to the drewling retard behind the counter and i pay more if i pay at the pump with my card? so i went in and got a monster drink on the card and $20 cash back and put the $20 cash on the gas. then the dip shit tried to tell me i cant do that because i still used my card.. and i looked him in the eye and with a psycho pissed off look i asked him why, his answer was "because the cash and credit price are different sir" am i the only one who is confused by the fact that i handed him a $20 bill and asked for 20 on #4 and got a responce that cash and credit are different prices?? i handed you cash you damn retard the $20 cash back i just got with my card when i paid the $2.69 for the god dang monster drink and asked for $20 cash back. the total was 22.69 and you handed me $20 cash and a recept. that transaction is now over and i would like another transaction to begin please. i would like $20 on pump #4 please. here is a $20 bill to pay for the $20 on pump #4.. where in the sam hell do you see my credit card being used to pay for gas.. who cares what i do with the $20 cash i got back, i did not use a credit card to actually charge the gas to??? you stupid hokey helmet wearing retard... sorry but this post kind of hit home a bit for a second

sounds like a fun place to be . there aint shit around and not shit to do so boring you have to take photos of a web site you are already looking at. now if i took my banshee out there and started on the main st. and went wot 1st - 6th gear would i miss the town by 4th? or do i have enough time to see the whole place
