  1. Need any trades? If so, list that too.
  2. Do you currently have any engine mods?
  3. I REALLY NEED that pic. Thanks
  4. Did that happen today? Do you get unemployment or are you just laid off?
  5. Sorry... having a bad day. Let me try this again. Just bend your weakened axle back to where it was. Bending an axle over and over again actually makes it better. And if you do it right, it will break off when you land a big jump. Being perilized is cool
  6. I would never trust a bent and straightened axle for riding. It's only your life you're messing with
  7. Sexy Need any trades?
  8. As much as I'd like to say that all of that is true, unfortunately it's not. In Illinois, a parent is only legally liable til 17. I found this out when a friend of my wifes 17 year old step son broke into someones house in the middle of the night and got part of his head blown off by the unhappy homeowner. The kid is going to be a veg the rest of his life. The parents {both really nice people. The wife has every kind of cancer known to science and the dad works 3 jobs just to pay for her meds and doc bills} were not the problem with the kid growing up. The kid was a rebellious bastard from day one and now he doesn't even know if it's day or night and may never even know how to write his own name. As it turns out, according to my lawyer, a legal guardian has MORE responsibility for the child they are guardian for than a natural parent. He said "anyone can have a kid and not know how to raise it but a guardian goes before a judge and petitions the court to care for the child until 18". Because of that petition, the person who tries to help out one of these throw away kids, is more on the hook than the parent who actually brought the kid into the world. In short, the parents are not legally required to teach their kids anything or hold them to any sort of standard whether that's moral/religious, or secular/political. And if you look at the big picture most people don't want anyone to tell them how to raise their kids. So they take the easy way out and let the schools, TV or now the internet do it. I remember a few years ago that I was stopped at a traffic light and as I looked into the car next to me a kid in the back seat {maybe 6 or 7} flipped me off. I couldn't believe it. So I moved up a little and told the parents of the brat right there. The parents started laughing so hard they almost couldn't steer the car. If I had done that when I was 7 and my dad found out, he'd still be whippin' me these 30+ years later. And I'd deserve it. So I guess in the end, the only justice there is is street justice. One cop asked me... do you have a gun? Me- No. Cop- Get one. And if anyone is bothering you, make sure he's completely in the house before you start shooting. Then call us.
  9. Well I got the Bansheeworx fully lightened flywheel and I ride trails. The only thing that has taken some getting used to is that I tend to lug the engine more than rev it. So I tend to run in a higher gear than most people probably do. With the lightened flywheel and a few degrees of advance, it will stall more easily. Now that I have the flywheel in, I ride one lower gear and the throttle reponse is remarkable. I should probably turn up the idle a little but all in all, it's a great mod for the dollar for trails.
  10. A cup holder on your riding mower is a great idea. A cup holder on a quad can only be for posers who don't know how to ride or who are way too good to ride and show you up or who have rides that are sooo tricked out that they don't want to scratch the plastic, wear out the tires, burn gas... whatever. Maybe that's why they have it on a Honda.
  11. As much as I'd like to say that the parents should pay, the friggin' kids are the ones that knew exactly what they were doing. It's easy to say that parents should raise their kids better but the problem is the various states won't even let parent punish their kids any more. I was talking to my lawyer who also does family law. {I told this story once but it seems to bear repeating} A divorced mother was planning a mellow party for her and her new husband and their friends. Her daughter was supposed to be with the good for nothing dad. The dad decided his plans were more important and dropped the kid off at the party. The kid was told that because this was a "big people" party, she should stay in her room but they ordered pizzas and got videos. No dice. Daughter harassed the guests, threw tantrums etc. The new dad warned her again and again but she said "you touch me and I'm callin gthe cops" and she went back to pestering the guests. Once new dad had enough, her put her over his knee in front of everyone and gave her a couple swats to make the point that he meant what he was saying. She screamed bloody murder and called the cops. He was arrested for child abuse, lost his job, got a jail record etc. Now who should be punished? The mom because she married her former husband who was a jerk? The mom because it's her fault too? The new dad for beating the brat? The brat herself? Out of all these people, the kid is the most at fault. She knew what she was doing and didn't want to listen. The same with these punks. They should get the middle east treatment. First occurrance, severe public beating. Second occurrance, one less hand to carry stuff with. Third occurrance, dirt nap. The other option is the kid becomes your personal slave and gets credit for minimum wage toward paying you back for double the loss. We already know there is nothing the kid is not willing to do. So there's nothing you can assign them that is too harsh. Think of how much this would boost the economy instead of dragging it down? You could have your personal thief slave start by carving himself a wooden hand and then digging his own grave. These might help him see that his life of crime is a really bad idea.
  12. It's hard to diagnose noises over the web but if you suspect the water pump, pull the cover off and check it out.
  13. I was thinking about Christopher Reeves and now Madonna who couldn't manage to keep their butts in the saddle while riding and I was thinking... Why hasn't anyone suggested that all horses be shot and their owners be put in prison? After all that's what they say about ATVers. When Ozzy fell on his head they blamed the atv industry when the guy can't take 2 steps without falling on his head as it is. Why not blame the equine industry for the damage to these beautiful people who give so much to the world? Besides, with the way the economy is right now, we could all stand to have a huge influx of tasty, affordable, grain-fed, meat.
  14. It seems that the "greenies" have invaded the off road department and found a way to use the money to buy up more land. Then when the department is taken over by the state for corruption, the greenies can come and say "we better protect this land before it gets ruined" and what do you know... it's already paid for
  15. Maybe this is a normal thing for you brooke but for the rest of us, when someone runs up behind you and puts it to you for 3 weeks straight, you don't have to wait 2 months before you figure out what's REALLY going on... YOU'RE GETTIN' SCREWED!!! Like NYUK said... those pipes are never gonna get there and this poor "kid" is out $130 of his hard earned dollars. That being said, the box could have ripped open and the pipes may have been lost in transit. But at least superchicken should step up and show that they were shipped. For the most part, it would cost ALOT to ship the pipes by anything other than the US postal service. UPS or FedEx would cost a fortune. Economy Parcel Post according to the USPS website would take 4 to 6 weeks to Canada and it would cost $23.30 USD to ship a 20lb package. So unless superchicken was not charging for the box, he was only making $106.70 on the pipes. Frankly he could have gotten that much for them in the states. So you guys be the judge. So far it's not looking too good.
  16. Send the new man in her life the bill for your STD meds. Doesn't she have a car or something you can repo or sell? A credit card in her name you can go buy stuff with? Dude... send me an email, I may be able to help you keep from losing your house... [email protected]
  17. Why would not want to claim it? I got $5400 for mine...
  18. Where did you get the squeeze bulb? How much did all that stuff cost?
  19. The only years that were different was 89-90 which had a 4-156 rear used for a 10" rim so you have the same hubs that almost everyone has.
  20. Post some pics of your leakdown tester equipment.
  21. Illinois must have a slush fund the size of Alaska. There is not a single state funded trail yet all of the title and registration fees "go toward off road use". When they say "off road" they must mean in a helicopter
  22. I've gotten quite a few kickers lately and no-one seems to want to put their email address in with the kicker. I can send an email confirmation number if I have the email but since I get 30 emails a day min about atv stuff it's impossible to keep track of this stuff without a paper in the box with all the info on it. So if Shawn Urbano is here, your kicker is in the mail.
  23. I've got the swingarm bearings {always guaranteed for 6 months}, tie rod ends, spindles, hubs, rotors, o-flow tank and etc. Email me... [email protected]
  24. Send me an email... [email protected] Maybe I can help you out.
  25. I'm sure I've got all that stuff. Send me an email... [email protected] DO NOT PM ME. Thanks
