Cotton eyed Joe

I'm thinking he's talking tennis ball cannon...thats what we call them here. Doesn't take much to send a tennis ball about 300 feet across a highschool parking lot.

LMFAO Not to be mean, but when we'd all go out to the dunes, my wife was the only one with a banshee and the rest had blasters, and all told there were 3 of them. We'd start them up and race around the camp ground at a blistering 8mph through the trees n shit. Those things are fun to ride on! Had to have one pulled off of me more than once.

I hear you there. I have an aunt (my favorite uncles wife....she really aint my aunt. I ain't claiming her) that is so short and fat that she can't drive safely, and therefore, doesn't work or do much if anything. She sits at home and eats and smokes and bitches about my 60 year old uncle that works 4 12 hour days per week and on his days off comes to my shop and works to help pay her fucking bills. (Her meds are about $500/mo right now...without insurance...take a look at how old my uncle is again..and then think that he has NO savings or retirement because of her.) He had to have an angioplasty last week, and she drove him home from the hospital, and he noticed that her gut is so big that she has to have the seat all the way back in his truck to clear it all, and she takes her stubby tyranosaurus lookin arms and makes a half assed attempt to reach out to grab the steering wheel, and at the same time her munchkin little legs (stuff 2 33 gallon garbage sacks with mashed potatoes and you'll get the idea) can barely reach the peddles. Not only is it affecting her health, but she nearly wrecked my uncles truck 3 times on the 5 mile drive home because she either couldn't steer quick enough, or couldn't reach the brakes. She is a full fledged moron though. More issues than a newsstand, and nuttier than squirrel turds. If she could get her head fixed, her weight would come off I'm sure. At least she could hike her fat ass up onto a bicycle or something with out worrying about taco-ing the tires or having the seat tube bend in half. But, at the rate she smokes and eats, and how she just sits there she might just die in the next 5 years. I dont think smoking is the best thing you can do, but taking a look at the obeisity around me, over eating and eating the wrong stuff is far worse, and as Brooke pointed out, hits quicker and harder than the smoking does. When I first started lifting and working out a did a ton of research. I wish I could find it but Google is failing me at the moment, but someone that eats like shit and works out isn't as healthy as someone that smokes, eats right, and works out. I know TONS of people that smoke and work out. Granted their VO2Max isn't what it could be, but its still more than the person that is SO heavy that they can't really hulk around the gym or move that much. In the end, its your life. Do what the fuck you want.

I started making swingarms before I had the chance to bend mine. But I've had a buddy or 2 that "suspected" their swingarm was tweaked and just replaced it.

NYUK had a link....I can't find it. Mayne he'll chime in and put it up.

My wife, my best friend, and my pops. Thats it. Anyone else needs to get one of their own. When I get my drag bike finished I won't need lessons in saying no I'll have had plenty of practice. I've already been asked and the fuckin thing doesn't even run yet.

Aside from being at the dunes, I don't think I've been up until 2am since I was 22.

Cant have it all with a longer swingarm. I've built them for all out drag bikes as long as +10, and for my project I might go as long as +12. A +6 will be as long as you want to go if you want to do some kind of duning etc. I dont' know what you ride, but in the sand, a +6 is about it. Anything longer is usually reserved for all out drag bikes. +4 is really good for all around, but if you are putting alot of HP to the ground you'll either need to nut up on the handle bars, or go longer on the swingarm.

LOL stupid theives. Are you sure a new bike didn't get ripped off or something....wink wink.

Good to hear you liked it! I always stay at the Egin Lake campgrounds. It sucks now though because they brought in road base, and closed the sandy part of the camp ground to atv's. Nothing like it was 3 years ago when you could drive all over, and pick a nice shady spot between a couple of trees away from everyone else, but oh well...Its just more incentive for me to buy a trailer. I can't wait to take my project bike up Thunder. Don't know if I could drive all the way to Choke through the dunes on it. I might have to trailer it down the road and then ride it in on the trail they have.

I don't comment about religion to anyone what you do is none of my business, and vice versa. You do what you do, and I'll do what I do. We agree to agree or agree to disagree, irregardless of all that I just said, Nyuks post was some funny shit.

Since I manufacture carriers and fabricate complete swingarms I'm biased towards the Honda style. I love how easy it is to adjust a chain. I can do it in about 1/10th the time it used to take me to do the stocker. I just loosen the 2 pinch bolts, and I grab the axle and kind of tug it back. Tighten the bolts. Done. And its straight. One allen wrench and an open end wrench is all it takes, and it almost takes me longer to get the 2 wrenches that it does to actually adjust the chain.

After my port job, the cylinder just needed to be honed a bit, and then re ringed the piston. It was NOT broken in by me, and I can tell you by the rubber left on the street that it was broken in by power braking it, drag racing it, and wide open runs up and down a deserted country road IN -10F WEATHER WITHOUT REJETTING and for some reason it still runs good 2 years later. Personally I wanted to heat cycle it, check plugs..you know..stupid shit like that.

LOL I don't remember a banana, but I remember that scene in the movie and the sprinklers n shit. I need to rent that again.

LOL yeah that was the one. Flipper is such a dumb ass. Whats funny too is they were talking about how these guns had bayonette lugs. Eh...isn't it already a high powered rifle? How about that? Yeah...if I'm going to kill a bunch of people I'm going to go buy an Armalite A-10 and then STAB someone with a knife on the end of it, possibly injuring them.

Did the fuck stick pulling that scam take the pictures from here? Or does Stephen have his stuff hosted somewhere else like bikepics?

Fuck man. If you catch who did it, kick them square in the nuts. On a side note, I see you have 69 Chevelle in your sig. I had a 70 Chevelle SS 396 with a 400TH and a 12 bolt rear end for my first car when I was 18. Fucker hauled ass. Drained my wallet in a hurry thats for sure.

Yes...Accounts with an "s"

LOL Although I really love my dog like a member of the family, and honestly I've never met a dog I didn't like and there are TONS of people I've met that I can't stand...(My dog gets couch privaleges before anyone else. She knows her spot) Those people at PETA are morons. I was listening to Sean Hannity about 2 months ago when his lib-assistant (who is 28 years old) was bagging on his other intern (who is 18) that likes to hunt deer. She said (this is how I remember it anyway) "Why go out and kill a defenseless animal like that?" The other girl replies "Well, we like to eat deer meat. We aren't killing it to just kill it. We are using it for food" The lib says "But,...you can just go to WalMart and get chicken." Hannity steps in and says "Yeah, but wasn't that a harmless defenseless chicken? Whats the difference?" She retorts "Yeah, but its packaged right there at Walmart." Holy shit..... Then Hannity told her "Are you wearing leather shoes??? Your jacket!! ITS LEATHER!" She says "So?" "Leather is made from cow skin. Didn't you know that?" "What?" "Leather is MADE from COW SKIN!" "No it isnt." and then she left the room. I was ready to email Hannity my resume because I know I'd do 1000x better job than that moron he has for an assistant. God I can't stand her.

I see what you are saying now. Its a straight knurl put in the bar to help the clamp grip it. Most fat bars will be further apart on those knurls, but I thought every stock size bar would be nearly the same.... I think you want the clamps on those knurls to be honest. Even though you'd have alot of surface area to clamp on without the knurls, the knurls will hold a hell of a lot better.

Yep. My uncle works at Thiokol (the people that make the rocket boosters for the Space Shuttle) and its a little more complicated but basically aluminum oxide and ground up rubber can make a great rocket.

Like the others said...you can turn the Banshee into just about any thing you want to suit your riding style and terrian. Think of it as the Chevrolet 350 of ATV's. The modifications you can make to it are almost unlimited. Actually only limited by how much you can spend on it. The aftermaket for this bike is unreal, and if you can think of it, chances are someone out there makes it.

OH MAN! I need to go scrub my eyes out with Ajax after looking at that thing.
