Dark Ranger

My sincere condolences. My prayers are with you and your friends family. Life is certainly not always fair.

Upgrade to a frame with A-Arms. I did and I'm very happy withn it.

I think I'd get a bigger shed.

Noss heads work great and David's service can't be beat!

Here's the PRM I just put on mine. I like it.

Congratulations! Babies most be in season. My daughter is two and a half months old now!

Congats Auntie Brooke! Cool thing about being an aunt or uncle is you get to give them back to there parent when they get fussy.

That truly sucks! We all need to keep a closer eye on our accounts. Don't make it so easy for thieves. Did I mention I hate thieves?

Don't have any yet, but hopefully next year I'll get some. Quicksands the way I'll be going!

Absolutely awesome! Great work. Are you going to try doing plastics?

Dude, you just have to ask yourself if you were going to go for a ride right now and all three were sitting in your garage which one would you take? That's the one to go with. I've got a Banshee and a dual sport. I used to ride that thumper everywhere and I loved it. Then I got a Banshee. Since then the bike hasn't had too many miles put on it. The Banshee is just too addictive. Good luck with your decision.

That looks like a good setup. I'm going to have to start saving up. Thanks guys, now I'm going to be in trouble with my wife again.

Anybody have any pictures of this setup?

Yeah, the tree huggers are getting way out of control. How can you damage dirt? We may kill a little grass here and there, but it all grows back. Funny how nature works.

That would be reasonable, but I just bought one from another member. Sorry and thanks for the offer.

I am a member of ATVAM and they send out links like this once in a while. This one caught my eye. Friggin tree huggers are at it again. For those of you that aren't ATVAM members may I suggest you join? How many of you are members. Here is the link: http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/feat...onl_atvchanges/

I've seen a few buns there that I wouldn't mind spreading. Find a McDonald's in a college town and you'll usually find at least a couple hot chicks.

That had to get your adrenalin pumping. You want to sell that bumper for a cheap/reasonable price?

I run 32:1 Yamalube, but plan to switch to Amsoil when I'm out of my supply of Yamalube. I live and ride in Minnesota year round. No problems, just make sure you're jetted right and your coolant is mixed good for cold weather.

I have a 95 Ranger w/standard bed. I've put it in forward and backwards. Getting over the wheel wells sucks, but two people (or one with ramps or really strong arms) can get it done. My stock front bumper never broke my rear window. Putting it in backwards seemed to be easier for me because the rear wheels stay straight when going over the heel wells. Didn't have much trouble with shutting the tailgate until I extended the swingarm. I also have a trailer that I usually use when I have too much stuff to haul.

I agree, there should be a way to warn members if a member is suspected of being a theif. If the member objects to the labeling they can plead their case with the rest of us to have the label removed. Kind of like BansheeHQ Court!

If you're willing to make some adjustments you can make your Banshee run trails with no problem. I actually prefer my Banshee in the tight trails better than my buddies YFZ450. I have mine geared down (12 tooth on front) and then oversized rear tires for clearance. A single carb kit helps a lot also. Running a little higher compression seems to help the low end grunt as well. With my setup I can literaly bog it down to an idle without killing it or needing to slip the clutch. I can also crawl through mud and over rocks that I 4x4 would have to work at.

Loco, that poem kicks @ss! I don't think his teacher would appreciated it as much as we do. Might get him some detention time.

Glad to hear you're going to start wearing a helmet. It's a good idea. Like the others said, get one that's comfortable, snug, and is DOT & SNELL approved. I can't think of a reason you'd ever regret wearing one, but there are lot's of reasons to regret not wearing one.

Coyote Ugly! I hate it when that happens.
