I thought about how much money I dumped into my bike.It's depressing. Getting it back together and dialed in should be the cure.LOL! Does the motor run like you expected? Yeah,I want my motor handled right too.I talk alot with Jeff.I don't want to jump on either side over your motor.That's between you guys.

I see your point blue duece.I'm not sure if Jeff has help or not.I have heard of different builders joining together just trying to keep up.That is a good idea.I think alot of builders didn't expected such a large amount of people upgrading their bikes.There's plenty of builders flooded with work. If my motor comes back in a bad container,I would be mad too.I don't want to get in on that certain topic.Both guys have their opinion on that.If a guy has an honest complaint that's fine,and I'm not saying he doesn't.Wish Jeff would give his' opinion on this but that might just start a huge argument and get way out of hand.

Blue duece,I was doing the taping.Sure I've seen bikes that will run faster but for a 350 I thought they were impressive.I've seen sno-mobile engine quads,crotch rocket engine quads on nitrous,10 mils,14 mils.Yeah,they would outrun 350's.Duh. All this aside,you're entitled to your opinion.Fair enough.

Since I've seen his' bikes,I think I know what I'm talking about.Jeff,I even have a video tape with the bike that had the cylinders I bought.I love watching that tape. Although I'm not a 100% happy with the turnaround,I bet you won't be able to pry the grin from my face that I will have the first time I dump the clutch and this bike tries to run out from underneath me.Sounds like to fun to me. He builds some very quick banshees.Now if I just had the cash for one of his' 10 mils.

Jeff is covered in work.To me,his' turn around is slow but good grief he can make a banshee scream. I'm hoping when he's done with my motor and I get it dialed in it scares me.That should be just about fast enough.

I don't think you'll run away from the piped raptor.I had one as well as piped banshees.I had a similar banshee except with FMF fatties.My buddy had a raptor with a full CT pipe,filter,etc...I would jump ahead of him in 2nd and 3rd gear.He couldn't make up this difference but I couldn't pull away from him after 3rd either.A piped raptor runs pretty good. Port that banshee and you'll smoke that raptor.

Had to come home early from work today.Wife pulled a muscle in her back.She couldn't even walk when I got here.She took me to work and had felt fine.She come back home and went to bed and when she woke up she couldn't even stand up.OUCH!She went to the doctor and he gave her some medicine.She'll be ok. So yeah,things can always be worse.

Memorial day weekend.Who's going?If I have mine together then expect me to be out there.I should be one of the fastest 350's out there.Who feels lucky?LOL!

Ok fellas,I'm about over my pity party. Just have to quit thinking about how much I've spent and work to get it paid.

I have friends that are so far in debt it just insane.I'm close to about $5000.Might not seem like much but it is to me.Looks like I better start getting alot of overtime or I'll be selling the wife's banshee,and that's something I don't want to do.Sorry guys.Just feeling a little sorry for myself.I'll get over it the first time I start winning some races with my new beast.

I swore years ago when I got my banshee that I wouldn't charge a credit card unless I had the money.I started out this time on my current build to spend some money but I had no idea what I was fixing to do.Keep in mind,I am the only one working in my home.I started out building a drag bike.Well,almost the entire bike is different now.The entire suspension has been changed:marvin shaws,jj&a axle,podos swingarm,and K&T drag a-arms.I have alot of money in the motor.With all the trial and error stuff I've bought in the past and including this build,I have spent so much on this bike that I could probably go buy two new yfz and pay cash.For my budget,that's a huge amount of money.Now how will I ever get the credit card paid off.I also took out a 401K loan for some of it.Am I alone. Oh well,this bike should fly when done.Might need new shorts after each ride.Hopefully.

Banshee looks good.Do much racing or is it just a duner?Looks like a racer to me,

Boost bottles are useless.Don't waste your money on one. People have different opinions on the pipe question.For a stock banshee,the Toomey T-5 works really good.It will also work well with other mods. I hated the T-6 but some other people may like them. I don't ride in much water so I always junk the stock airbox and use two K&N filters that clamp directly onto the carbs. Just my 2 cents.

Jeff is possibly sending out some of my banshee parts today.Where did all the 4 strokes go?Must be hiding.LOL!!!!!!

Were you hitting the throttle while you was trying to start it?Sounds like you just flooded it out.It happens.Don't give it gas until it sounds like it's fixing to start.

Helping a friend out during hard times is what friends are for.Several of my family members and friends have went through divorces.They moved on.Wasn't easy,but they are getting by.So will you.Hang in there.

I might be totally wrong but is one of these friends a guy.Dude,don't be surpised.Sounds like you're alot better off without her.LET HER GOOOOOOO!!!!

Are you going to be there all that weekend?Not sure if I'll be there that saturday or sunday.My dad has had a friend working on a dunebuggy for him and he'll probably meet him there at st.joe to pick it up and drive it for the first time.

I dated my ex-girlfriend for about 5 years.At first it was great.At the end of that 5 years it was anything but great.I was actually engaged to her twice.I thank God I didn't marry her.Really.I kept thinking about breaking it off with her when we would argue.We fought quite abit.Once we was driving down the road and of course she was mad.The road was curvy.She had the "BRIGHT" idea to put it in neutral.Keep in mind,I was driving.She messed up and put it in reverse.BOY-O-BOY!If murder was legal.You get the idea. If they lie to ya,then they'll probably do it again.Kick 'em to the curb.Caught her doing that too. Everybody is right.You've got plenty of other options.It's not the end of the world.Might not seem like it now,but you will get over her.Everything happens for a reason.Learn from it.Learn what type of girls to avoid.There's some real crazy chicks out there.Don't ignore the warning signs if a girl seems like trouble. You'll be ok.

Ok,you already know about needing new tires.What about the clutches?Might need a lockup clutch.

That motor should have alot of potential.The T-5's are a good pipe but cpi's or shearers would be better.Dual 34's or 35's would be alot better I would think.The tires are killing that banshee.Definitely need some haulers.

Guys,I was really wanting to make it but it looks like I won't be able to.You'll get your chance to throw sand at me later on.

Somehow the park officials found and said not to have the organized races.We're still going to have a day of heads up racing like normal.It'll be fun.

Here's the beast.

Hey guys,Lee just bought a quad that might run good with some of ya.It's a 400EX with a ZX9 900 ninja motor bored to a 1000.He said it smoked his 450 suzuki.Duh.He said it's ugly right now,but he's going to work on that. Hoping he can get some good paddle tires for it.Might be interesting.
