Sure I don't understand about the wife and kids thing but I can assure you that I have had far more intolerable shit directed at me in the last 10 years. Most was on this site but there was also a ton of stuff on other sites that I did not frequent. I had people make up screen names, Photoshop pictures of me, submit my name and e-mail address to spam sites, threaten me and my bikes, threaten BansheeHQ and much more. The problem is that it is the internet and there is nothing you can do to stop anyone from saying anything. That's just the facts. At some point there in everyone's Internet days, there will be someone who tries to start shit, talks shit about your family or whatever. But what are you going to do about it is the real question? Trolls, as I like to call them, get off on the reaction. Show them no reaction and they move on. It's just that simple. By responding to the trolls you feed them, hence the term "do not feed the trolls." As far as BansheeHQ not needing people like him, I don't disagree. The point I am trying to make is that I am glad some of the more sensitive people weren't around "back in the day." There is no way you would have ever made it through the bullshit and stuck around. Guys like NYUK and Meat know what I mean. There were brutal knock down drag outs when it came to shit like this. You think gooniemon was bad? Well he wasn't. We've had trolls that made goonie look like a 4 year old babbling on his dad's laptop. Some of them were so persistent that they would keep on for weeks and months, picking out the same few people to mess with. Ahh, the good old days. Anyway, yea he's gone. But I hope that some people learn from this and remember this is the INTERNET. I have a very short temper and I am viloent. If I can deal with it, so can everyone else.

you will have the only 10mm cub there with nerf bars and a -1 swingarm. guaranteed.

There is not one thing for a Banshee that you cant get from the Sponsors or other members here on BansheeHQ. You can build a complete bike from scratch and never even have to navigate from these forums. Real talk.

i agree. pretty lame really.

hell yea jeff!! business must be good.

I agree, unfortunately although sometimes for the better, things change. BansheeHQ now is nothing like it was even a year ago, let alone 4 and 5 years ago when the real heavy hitters were here. Guys like gooniemon were a dime a dozen. They would come here, start shit and then get clowned on so bad they would never return. Guys these days are too thin skinned and let goofballs like goonie get to them instead of turning it around right back on them. Back in the day, it would have taken me a couple hours at most and we would have never seen goonie again. I can't act like that anymore though since I have assumed responsibility.

the crank will have to be taken apart regardless by someone who knows what they are doing. welding is just extra insurance that it will stay together.

i would skip the 2 into 1 carb and use that money else where. porting, reeds, timing plate and an aftermarket head are all better mods for you.

there are like 10 people on the banned list. 3 of them are the same person.

roll design used to make a set of heal guards for the banshee. i dont know if they still do. it might be tough to find a set that will work with stock foot pegs.

i dont see anything ghetto about those rims.

i was tired of having 10 people a day sending me PM's because goonie hurt their feelings so i banned him. some people are pretty thin skinned these days. no way they would have lasted on HQ 4 or 5 years ago. shit was rough back then.

im thinking you might have been fouling the plugs because of the 30 pilot. stick with the 27.5 and try about a 280 or 290 main and do a WOT plug check.

thats a pretty funny ad.

260 mains with all those mods seems kind of lean to me. you say your plug chops were rich?

what carbs and jetting do you have right now?

there is no reason to ever do a plug chop. i have been riding banshees for 10 years and have yet to do one. a WOT plug test will work just fine and wont make you destroy a set of plugs.

i can tell you that hill is a lot steeper than it looks. i do think an ATV with some power could climb it also. you have to remember that ATV's can have a lot more forward momentum due to having more tire patch on the ground as long as they have the power to do it. i know there is a hill at the widowmaker that has been run by ATV's. a buddy of mine went a few years back and ran it. it wasnt the hill in the video though.

hell yea, those will work!

i will bring some little weenies for you guys. i am right next to Andy so im sure thats where the party will be. hopefully we can set up camp so that we have a big area for everyone to hang out.

clean whip man.. i like it.

yea, ive heard that story before from others too. i run shearers on my bike and have had good luck so far.. lucky for me i can weld if they do break.

damn WTF.. what does shearer have to say about it?

i have some..

anyone else run the ngk iridium br9eix?
