I'm kind of in shock. Why didn't GM just do what they always do and bring out some mid sized 4 door sedan with an SS badge on it? Hell, they probably still have all the stamping dies laying around a warehouse somewhere for the Lumina or even the Berretta. That would make a nice new Camaro. Toss in a stock I-4 with an optional V-6 coupled with an automatic transmission, plus they could make it FWD. Cup holders, quiet interior, maybe offer a "sport" package. It would be just like the original. You can tell I'm a little more than dissapointed with GM, but after they did what they did with the short lived Impala, then axing the Camaro and TA due to "low sales" I came to the conclusion that the powers that be at GM collectively have their heads up each others asses. I hope they follow through with this car, and I hope it doesn't suck ass.

If you get a clicker type torque wrench get a decent one. I bought some chinese piece of shit and one day the end you set your torque with came unscrewed, fell off and its been uncalibrated ever since. Before that it would only click 1/2 the time, and I had to be PERFECTLY square on the nut being torqued or it would just keep going. I prefer the beam style. I have 2 of those and I use them on my bikes, my lathes and mills for repairs, everything. I'd use them on my wife if I could.

Agreed. It takes a special person to jump out 3 times in a row with out a parachute.

I just ordered a few sprockets from RMATV and the Primary Drive steel rears are cheap as hell, and so are the fronts. I think most of your front sprockets are going to be about $15 because there is alot more process involved, but you ought to buy 3-4 different sizes and try them out to see what works out on the trails. What trails are you riding btw?

WELL SAID!! That and I'm getting sick of dressing like David Arquette

No I'm not, but I absolutely don't do ATK or Bombardier.

Fila Brasilio, Brazillian Mastiff if I'm not mistaken. Those fucken mastiffs get huge! I wonder how Broke deals with the shit he has to shovel....... His dog weighs 200lbs. mine weighs 65lbs. I know I can pick up nearly a 5 gallon bucket of shit in about 5-6 weeks or so.

About the only thing you have to worry about in NV is some hot months. The good thing is you never have to shovel sunshine. I've been there when its rainy, and they almost cancelled the Winston Nationals the weekend we were there, but a few days later its nice again. AND.... You were really gonna part that thing out? I know it sitting there is a total waste, but my god. That bike is a work of art. It would be like parting out the Mona Lisa, or that painting of the dogs playing poker.

Looking for really clean parts: Front and rear brake ressy/assemblies, all 3 calipers, and all 3 rotors. The only thing I don't need is a foot brake pedal. I would prefer them off of a sand bike, and in really great condition. Also looking for a stock Banshee kill/light switch in great condition.

Exactly. I don't really care what my neighbor does as long as it won't infringe on my rights as an American or a human being, that he isn't depriving someone else of those rights, and he generally leaves me the fuck alone. There was a "parade" in SLC this summer, and some of the people in the parade were men wearing full make up and dresses n shit and when interviewed by the people in the tv, one guy said "We are just doing this to let everyone know we are here." The whole time I was thinking WTF? Why is this news worthy? Why do I need to know you're here? Who are you and why are you so important? When I see a dude in a dress wearing make up, or some guy in assless chaps with a dog collar on its kinda hard for him to blend in with everyone else anyway. I'm going to know he's in the general vicinity. Then another one said "We are just like everyone else" Yeah, except I'm getting ready for work, and you're spending the day in womens panties walking around Main street producing nothing and clogging up traffic. I figure if they are willing to put it all on display, I have every right to criticize it, accept it, or reject it. The same goes the other way. I put some thing out and someone doesn't like it, then I have to accept that fact, not try harder to force it on them even more. The only person I have control over is me. I have no desire to control anyone else, or make someone else think the same as me. I guess, some people ride Honda, some ride Yamaha, and a few ride both.

Thats a pretty cool idea. Its kinda big for an urn, but who gives a shit. If it was something he loved go for it.

It also doesn't shit on the floor, eat S-Video cables, scare the UPS man right out of the shop, or tear a 15" hole in a $300 comforter. But it won't stand on your chest and lick your face in the morning because its hungry, and you'll look pretty stupid throwing tennis balls at a little beige box all day

lmfao I just got coffee down the front of my shirt Its my work shirt, so its okay. It already smells like a garbage can.

Thats such a sad story.

You're fuckin awesome Walt!!! Can't wait for RF06, even though it might be a day trip only for me......... What was it that finally convinced your wife if you don't mind me asking?

There aint anything duct tape can't fix.

I'm working on headers this weekend if I get some damn time. Finally OUT OF WORK, but I have a mill that needs some wrenching on. But monday I think I'm in the clear to start working on it again for a few days at least. I'll see what I can do for pictures. Its still ugly.

I seem to be missing this part of my frame But when I put it back in I'll pay attention to it. This seems to be one of those things like that god damned steering stop.

Yep. The only parts I kept was the part where the a-arms bolt on, and where the swingarm bolts on. The rest of the frame I bent up myself.

Your primary objective shouldn't be to go fast. It should be to learn. My wife grew up on 4 wheelers, but hadn't ridden one like a banshee ever. She was scared at first, then soon she was jumping with us, and flying through the dunes (as opposed to flying into the dunes). I've seen a few other girls swing a leg over a banshee only to be scared to death to click it into 2nd gear. Fear will be your friend on one of these. Respect the bike, learn the bike, and know the terrain you will be riding on. You don't just jump on it and take off like a bat out of hell your first time. Thats a great way to die. I've ridden 4 wheelers since I was 10, and the first time I got on my Banshee I hit some sort of weird bump in a trail too fast, I wasn't expecting anything, and my helmet slammed into the handle bars hard enough for me to see stars. Actually I had that happen twice before I got it figured out. It should have happened the first time but I was caught up in the "holy shit I'm flying" moment. I think if you use your head you can grow into a banshee but you have to keep it in the front of your mind what you are doing at all times. Not thinking about last nights episode of Desperate Houseflys n shit like that. Gain the experience in baby steps as well.

Smart thinking right there. I'm pretty sure I remember you telling us about the wad of $100's you put in there for a christmas present.

Its been a while, but if I remember correctly its $3000 or so. I'm thinking that because some time ago we had a company give us a bum check for $25K, and we found out a few things there. Also have a vendor that had the same problem and I'm thinking it was him that told me $3000 was concidered larceny. Dunno. It might even vary from state to state. Either way if you find them break their fingers with a 64oz ballast hammer. I have one at work, and its great at persuading shit to move.

Hopefully when they are caught they can be charged with a felony due to the value of the items taken. God damned theives need to be put to 20 years hard labor.

HA! I flat out refuse to. I think I told my wife to "go roll your own" once as I handed her some paper towels. She won't go buy me shit for my bike
