i am trying to get some friends together to go, but not sure yet

wow!!!!! a good old fashioned showdown. any reply yet to your challenge? ill be at amargosa this saturday too. ps.--never disrespect godzilla and expect not to get punched in the face :biggrin: haha.

dont worry, that zilla will either blow a gasket or break down half way thru the race....haha :biggrin:

i noticed the same thing here in nevada. halloween, thanksgiving, new years, presidents day all were not the same as other years in dumont or amargosa. both places seemed empty compared to other times. i guess people are saving money and being careful not to get fired from their jobs. it sucks.

i have them, easy to install. i love them, they are great. you wouldnt believe the performance. wow !!!! im going to order more.....you should see how my freakin vaccuum cleaner works now . my house is sooo nice and clean . that muthafuckin hoover can now suck a watermelon thru a straw. she definatly gained at least 7 horse. i think im going to get into a new line of work now too. this new device is a life changer. im gonna have to start pimping out the hoover. might just have to pick up a black and decker and install this magnificence on it too. ill call it the black and decker pecker wrecker.....my pimp hand is strong !!!!! .............that shit wont see my shee though..........

i know you! you freakin bastard! all the years ive been to the dunes ive never seen anyone with a stock swingarm beat you. ive seen you beat the pants off of dudes with super stretched swingarms too. your bike is fast. everytime i see you going up the hill i wish that you and your bike burst into flames. i hope that a sand rail comes over the other side and flattens you like the cucaracha that you are. i imagine that your steering stem comes off and you lose control. i pray that your pistons fly out and knock you in your 80's style mustache......but after awhile of seeing you win and i head back to camp. all those feelings go away when i realize we all parked together, hang out together, and are part of the same group...team godzilla. haha. what a mean jerk i am. but hey, a guy can wish...lol...its good to see that you finally joined man. maybe now all those people you spanked at dumont and amargosa can know where to direct their anger. welcome to the site bananarama !!!!!!!!!

id like to give props to sredish and snops for having a civilized conversation. they didnt bash each other, make fun of each other or anything bad. they exchanged information in a nice way and we are all alittle smarter for it. well, maybe not me. im still a savage neanderthal. i dont think that will ever change

i ordered some clutches from vitos. they told me that they make them. ive put them in my raptor 660, yfz450, and banshee. they are holding up incredibly well. do you guys know who makes the clutches for vitos?

if wiseco makes these parts for vitos, then why does it seem like theres alot of hatred toward vitos on this site?

i just got another banshee. it has t5's, stock carbs with 290 main jets, timing plate set at plus four, stock head, lockout clutch, shift star, billet impellar, stock gearing, stock swinger, stock stroke with long rods, stock sized pistons that go with the longrod stock stroke crank thats in there now, some portwork but i dont know by who, k&n filters. the bike runs nice and moves good. some dude that owed me money gave me a 4 mil crank thats trued and welded. it is the long rod type. shouldnt i be able to drop this in and still use the pistons that are in there now? im a fatty so alitte more torque should help me right? i cant dump money into this thing now so thats why i want to drop in the four mil. alot of people say itll work, but id like to hear from you guys too. since i have it id like to put it to use. thank you in advance for your help.

a bunch of us beaners are going. i hope its alot of fun. the last four stroke wars i went to a few months ago at dumont was cool. all the people racing each other seemed to have more fun that the people actually competing. adios, see you there

i heard that there are some races in dumont this weekend.

the kt335 hooks ten times harder than the kt355. the 335 will work in sand and all kinds of terrain. you will pop wheelies with any bike easily. the only problem is that as with all stock type tires, they puncture easier than aftermarket tires and they wear out fast. hope this helps....i had the 355's on a yfz that i had and they would spin too much. i hated them. all kenda tires i have ever tried were way too stiff and were only good for spinning out alot. they withstood harsh rocky terrain really good though. i used to have a friend here in town that owned a tire shop it was called paddle tire king. he let me try out just about every tire there is. the ohtsu tires that FAST sells stick to the ground like glue too

wooley boogers. you can wheelie easy with them and they work in rock, snow, sand, just about anything you want. they are great for drag racing too.

i would buy it. you gotta start somewhere. this would be a great opportunity for many people. :biggrin:

i wear a size thirteen boot. i weigh 330 lbs. i have tried them all. nothing for me is better than the 100 dollar pep boys o neals. they are flexible and actually let you shift easy. ive taken a few tumbles and they have held my ankles in place. theyre great for me. i can jump on any bike and shift just fine with these. i even use them for dirtbike riding. they break in right away but are still firm enough to keep your ankles from snapping :biggrin:

ive had a few of those. put the reversed rims up front and the tippyness goes away. change the gearing to a twelve up front and a 42 in the rear. believe me, he will be one happy camper.

thanks for the picture. i actually use these tires. ive used them on all my bikes. we call them mudbusters around here. they work in all terrains. they are awesome for trailriding and drag racing. i love them :biggrin:

what are wooley boogers? do you have a picture?

people on the raptor forum have tried this kit and they say that they bend easily. i would say they are unsafe. its not worth getting hurt and ruining your day or weekend.

next week im going to finish all the details and take it to the dyno. it feels disgustingly strong. ill let you guys know how it does. by the seat of the pants feel, it feels very violent.

check out my pictures...one of my banshees that i injected with a 1990 kx500 2 stroke dirtbike motor. we sliced the pipe in a few places and were able to fit the stock pipe on there. a few strong motor mounts and abracadabra...a bike that hauls ass beyond belief (even my 330lb ass), never breaks down...always shifts and vibrates alittle. nothing a houser steering stem wont fix. the monster breaks tires loose in just about any gear on the pavement. i hope to mess with the timing soon and maybe bump up the compression. i think it will be a fun hill shooter that everyone can take a turn on and have fun. the bike pops wheelies in just about any gear too. haha. the pipe is longer than what it was stock. i need to finish up details, locktite the hell out of everything and get it tuned on a dyno. let me know what you think. to all the banshee fanatics out there please forgive me for disgracing a banshee frame. i was just bored so dont bash me. if you choose to bash me then go ahead, but remember im only a plane flight away and will deliver a punch to your gut. lol just kidding

all i have to say is that i have alot of respect for people who break from the norm, do something everybody scoffs at, and makes it work. i love it when people do alot with very little and it works. its easy to be just like everyone else and throw money at a bike. im glad to hear about your day, and congratulations buddy.

what? nobodys going?
