  1. I sell a wrench for that. Laser cut to fit nicely, and it snaps over the end of a ratchet, so after you reassemble you can use your torque wrench on it too.
  2. Thats a terrific itemized description of everything done to the bike! WOW! I know someone like that to be honest. He used to say "I can't believe how much I have in that bike" then I'd ask "What do you mean?" Then he'd say "All the money I have in that bike, its alot, and I can't believe I've spent that much on it" Then I'd say "What? What do you mean?" and it would go on like that for another 40 minutes. He had a "port job" that he did himself, and I think someone at his work "polished" his cylinders with 80 grit sand paper. Oh, and he buzz bombed the frame with silver Krylon, and he had to get some new bars once when he did a 9th gear wheelie at 200 mph and rolled or some bullshit like that. Then he tried to tell me he had $10k in it. It looked like it had been sat outside for 4 years.
  3. This might sound stupid, but how clean is your air filter?
  4. Lefty told me last july that it was around 128 on the sand and like 117 in Yuma. Thats crazy hot. I think a night ride would probaby be okay, but I bet its still around 90.
  5. LOL What I want to know is why he can say this, and how he knows :I dont know what the bore is, but I can say the final displacement is 330 cubic centimeters. If he doesn't know what the bore is, how can he say its .080 over, and how can he say its 330cc. I think he didn't want to admit he was wrong.
  6. LOL That video of LED in his office solved that one. Good ol webcam taped to your shoe.
  7. I did it with my name and there were like 09823098230948423049324 results. LOL none of them were me though. Pretty cool, but yeah, could be scary in the wrong hands.
  8. I put my wifes name in there and got 0 results. I know for a fact that there are about 4 different people in utah with the same name. I'll try another name.
  9. Yup! Its like you are talking to a retarded neighbor.
  10. LOL 10 years I'll be 40. I have a feeling it will be like my parents say "One day I woke up and I was fuckin near 60!" Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!
  11. Oh, I think I can fix that spindle. I've set it aside for another project. It might just get reamed out for a straight pin. I've got some a-arms to figure out and that will definitely come in handy. I'll watch it on eBay, and then if shit turns around (like my wife gets one of the 4 jobs she interviewed with this last week) I'll bid on it. She even said so lol... She lands a job, I get 6 bills to play around with.
  12. Thinking ahead to the next bike. Bad part is, since my lathe is down I've had to turn down 4-5 carrier/swingarm sales until next week, (out of carriers) which would have helped pay for it, and I could have footed the rest. I can't ask NYUK to hold it, that aint right. There will be more of them though. I hope.
  13. 952 That aint that cool. I'll just make some adapters and put kart tires on my banshee.
  14. I haven't been able to ever find aluminum bolts. I was told that they dont exist because they would have a low tensile strength. 4 different bolt and nut distributors told me they were a no go. If you find them, they might be custom stuff.
  15. How much would you like for it?? I'm not saying I CAN buy it, but I'll do some digging around to see what kind of funds I have to work with.
  16. If there is gas pouring from the top over flow, you have some problems. I think its just another over flow from the various passages in the carb, but you either have a stuck float, a float out of adjustment, or some very SMALL debris on the valve seat that the floats connect to. Time to tear them down all the way and clean them well. Is there gas coming from the bore? I had a float so out of adjustment once that there was gas pouring out of the bore. Great way to burn your bike down.
  17. LOL I'll just send you an e-mail then.
  18. lol lets call him and ask him if his refridgerator is running.
  19. I know when I get together with my friends, and some of their friends are there, at one point or another in the night the conversation turns to Banshees. I agree, being on this site, seeing what others are capable of is an inspiration to go out and do something with that bike. I know right now if I had 5 grand, 10 grand, it doesn't matter, and I absolutely had to spend it Id say I'd spend most if not all of it on the rides. I always tell myself, if I just had a couple hundred more....so far on just my project bike I've spent nearly 2 grand since february and its still a couple hundred dollars away from getting off of the bike stand. On the orange banshee I dropped over 3 grand on the last rebuild and almost all of that was on appearance. I'm still running stock bore and stroke!
  20. Thats what I'm sayin. Ben, you jumping over houses now? I'm gonna start calling you Evil Benevil.
  21. I wish I had my camera with me a month or so ago. There was a guy (normal) driving a street bike, with a woman about 2/3s the size of that one in the picture on the back. I about shit. I'm sure it had to be a liter bike. The funny part was she didn't have a helmet on and she had these big white Jacky-O glasses on. From the back, that bike looked like a large woman with a tire sticking out of her ass.
  22. If he was running drag pipes, he could have had the weld on silencers, but even then they are still loud and nothing you could call stealthy.
  23. We were told by our trainer (I'm sure they all have their opinions) that a puppy literally has no control over their bowels. Its almost as if they don't know what needing to take a shit even is, so they just hunker down and shit. We still at 5 months take our dog out immediately after eating. Typically you can get them into a rhythm of eating then shitting. Every single accident we had in the house (4 total) was because I wasn't paying attention or forgot to take her out right after she ate. Also, right after they take a dump, love the hell out of them. Pet them and praise them like they just saved your life. Eventually they will get the hint.
  24. Yep. Nothin like ruining someones weekend of riding around minding their own business having a good time with the guys. They should make stupid legislation illegal. You know the kind. The kind that wastes billions of our tax dollars that could be better spent by giving it to some 3rd world country that will still hate our guts the next day. We need a retired MX racer in the Senate. Hell, if Kelly4Nia can have a retired body builder for a governer, and Minnesota can have an ex WWF wrastler for a governer, and Ted Nugent can be a Sheriff, there should be someone of relevance representing ATV's in the Senate.
