HUH?

Hondas are reliable in almost any form. It is why everyone picks on them. I've had a couple experiences with LTs and heard even worse stories, but overall they are good. Definately Honda 250R over a Suzuki for reliability.

I remember when Cable frowned on extra televisions and the evil splitter. Now they switched it all around. Six televisions seems like a lot to me. Could you not get by with only 4? Technically satellite doesn't limit you to four televisions. Just four different channels at the same time. I am kind of surprised you can find six different channels you want to watch that simultaneously that often. I have the DVR option, about 180 channels and I'll be damned if I can find more than 10-15 hours of TV I like in any 7-day week. Of that 3-5 hours is commercials and gets skipped.

That's it. I'm going to quit work, sell my house and live under a bridge. Hard to break-in when you don't have doors or walls. !$^% security! That's my new plan. They can't beat what I ain't got. :thumbsup: Anyone know where I can get a sticker that says "bump air, see if I care" for my shopping cart? I feel safer already. :biggrin:

Since I do not have permission to edit after a few minutes... I'll recommend Dish. I've been with them almost 6 years. WEATHER: No problems here at all. Two or three times my signal has gone out and I am literally in the basement and the tornado sirens are blaring. So I am not worried about TV at that time. Your results may vary. I think I am pretty fortunate. My dish has been relocated once thanks to a bitchy neighbor. Covenants say dishes cannot be visible from the road. Much to his dismay I still have good signal. INSTALL: I have a fairly new home and the existing cabling would not work. They replaced it with something bigger I think. RECEIVERS: I have two of them. One PVR and one basic. The PVR has been replaced three times next business day mail at no cost. The bedroom receiver has been replaced once expediently and at no additional cost to me. If this sounds bad I have no complaints. GENERAL: They really work at low prices. A while back one of the stations was having a war with them. They wanted to raise prices and dish refused to pay. It was in the news. When the old price deal was about to expire the station put a banner across the bottom slandering Dish Network. Dish put a black bar across that portion of the screen to cover their message. They then moved their slander scroll to the top of the screen. This kept up for a couple of days and my bill did not change. I am glad Dish stood their ground. Cable keeps going up and up - even for Internet! If you have any questions - ASK.

I believe it only because: It has been "garged". It has a new "cranck". And "biger" carbs. A cool head (just one?) All those etcs must help somehow.

It was here for a while. If you search here for "member" there is a thread that suggests it under BigBoyBanshee showing us some roost or something like that. I tried to find it and couldn't. I think at some point it was pinned and someone had a third-party web site where you could go put a pin on a map next to where you are. It was kind of neat... I think something happened during the last site upgrade or similar. Start another one.

BEARS = Bad Ending After Running Start COLTS = Could Of Lost The Superbowl :biggrin:

There are other dealerships. It shouldn't be very hard to make some calls and take your trailer on a road trip.

Same !@#% different year. Anyone remember Windows 95?

Finally a Banshee won BlingStars QOTM on ATVRiders

Long overdue recognition for DMC. Congratulations! His riding is definitely distinctive. If there is someone else who does all that on a Banshee I haven't seen it. -
Getting mini dv video onto the computer (how)
STLBILL replied to Hollister_Hitman's topic in General Banshee Discussion
I think there are two firewires (and two USBs). The earlier one is tons faster than the earlier USB and only a little slower than the new USB. The newer firewire is almost twice as fast as the new USB. The new one is called 1394B or Firewire 800. I think Firewire cards are more easily recognized by Windows. You almost never need drivers. SOME USB you need drivers, but not all. I am not sure if Firewire provides a nominal energy source like USB. I have never seen all the ridiculous toys for Firewire that exist for USB like fans, lights and compatible devices without their own power source. For a long time it seemed easy to conclude USB was an expensive alternative to a DC power jack! Don't believe me? Why does XP SP2 include an option to limit USB ports to 500mA? Firewire is kind of like the Beta video tape. Superior in several ways, but less often used because ??? -
Those resemble Razr's which I found to be very good in thick gooey stripmine-type mud (Finger Lakes State Park, Deepwater riding areas in Missouri). This is the type of mud that usually plugs up every thing especially floor boards and nerf bars. They worked pretty well in the lead mine tailings ("chat") at St. Joe State Park too. Many people use sand tires in that stuff because it acts a lot like sand. Slit more than a couple sidewalls in the trails on sharp rocks though. Someone once pointed out the tracks left behind resemble many little Honda logos. If you are running from an Elmer Fudd and it's Honda season (as opposed to duck season or rabbit season) you might get accidentally shot. :biggrin: EDIT: ...And I think it is ALWAYS Honda season.

What price tag?

I was starting to think Lee won the battle to convert this forum into all Banshee talk... :biggrin: I heard that hind lick one in a more crude way. Two gay guys instead of two red necks. I'll leave the rest to your imagination... :yucky:

Caveat emptor.

After watching that shit I need a snack.

Good reading for Idaho cavers... Idaho law (clicky): TITLE 18 CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS CHAPTER 70 TRESPASS AND MALICIOUS INJURIES TO PROPERTY 18-7035. DAMAGING CAVES OR CAVERNS UNLAWFUL -- PENALTY.

Hell yeah! They forgot my fucking hash brown in my damn Mcmuffin meal this morning! Make everyone moderators! That might be fun to watch for a little while.

No. You have it backwards. It hides for the cool people. Proof: Just look below this line...

Welcome aboard! I've been on here about daily for over 4 years and if that video was posted before now I missed it. It is one of the better ones I've seen too. Thanks for the (re)post! I just get tired of always going to YouTube for them. I miss the old days when you could download them and watch them offline. It must suck to have dial-up these days for videos. I am more impressed with those "jump to the top" hillclimbs than anything else. The first time you watch them the suspense is first rate. DMC is one of the better riders I've had the pleasure of watching on here! It is not the stuff he does that is impressive. It is the fact that he does it on a Banshee. Not that I would try it, but it is common to do some of his stuff on a YFZ450 or 250R for example.

Besides the blown engine what's the rest like? Plastic in-tact?
-
It is a pretty good place, but I didn't think people came from your area. Wow! That's a haul! You have to watch the rocks though. I cut several sidewalls down there. Especially in the trails.

I've been down there taking pics of folks before, but not recently. Anytime you guys want to show-off for the camera let me know. <---- See Left. Saint Joe State Park is not in St. Joseph, Missouri. It is an hour South of St. Louis.
