You have a nice quad there, but I don't think that you will get what you are asking for. I bought a 2000 with similar work done to it for $3,200 two years ago for a 2 year old quad. Good luck selling it!

I have a set of port cages with TDR yellow reeds and love them. A buddy has the same set up as I do, except he has v-force and I can beat the pants off of him. He spent the $200+ on his, while I only spent about $60 for the porting and reeds. I think you can spend your money on something else than the v-force.

I didn't know that this was going to take off like this, but I thank all of you who support what us service members are doing here. I got a chance to watch part of the presidential debate last night and I am amazed at all the blaming each one does towards each other. Why don't they focus on what is wrong and how they plan of fixing it. It is so frustrating to watch them try to tear each one down. Why don't they say thanks for all the great work we are doing and that we are working on getting you more support. The sad thing is that we come over here for a year tour and then when we go back home we get ready to do this all over again for another year. How long do you think that we can keep this up. I have many friends who are putting in there paperwork to get out. I would be one of them, but I have too much time invested so far. This is hard on the service members and especially their families. Can anyone see why soldiers are getting out. I thought the military was all about taking care of the soldiers and not the politians reputation. If you have any opions on this, please lets hear it! I will be gone for awhile (short period), but hopefully we can continue this discussion in my absense. I look forward to all your thoughts and comments upon my return. Drink one for me!

I have the Alpinestar Tech 8s and love them. All boots are stiff when you first get them. I have had these for a couple years now and have boughten Tech 6 for the wife and Tech 4s for the kids. Do like my kids did, don't ever take them off. When we are riding, we have to fight the kids to get them off. I believe in a good quality boot after my wife rolled my quad over her and prevented a broken leg from happening. They are worth the money.

So you would like to hear it from someone that has been here. Well I guess I qualifiy as that. This is only from one persons opinion that has been here for almost a year now. So take it for what it is worth..... I have been from the southern border to the northern border and have seen the peaceful times and the fighting times. There are very beautiful areas of the country that you would think you are in another world and I have seen the ugly sites of poverty and slum. I have been places where the people of this country will come up to you and say "Thanks" and I have been to places where the people will spit at you and throw rocks. I have been in the middle of actions where I didn't know if I was going to be coming back or not. There is never a "safe" place or time that you feel that your life is never threatened and when you do, that is when the bad comes out. I have been fortunate so far on my travels in this country, to include several close calls. What the media show on tv at night is mainly the bad that is going on over here. I wish that they would show all the good that we have done for this country. All the schools that we have built, the medical center, city center, government system, power facilities, roads, bridges, training the troops to fight for what is right for their country, just to name a few. You would be truely amazed. For all the soldiers that have been hurt or killed, my hat goes off to them and their families. That is truely the most uneasy feeling around here, "what will tomorrow bring to me". There are many great people working around the clock to make this a better country for all. I have met mainy outstanding local nations, soldiers from different countries and all the private contractors that are also serving along side all the military services from our wonderful country. I thank the lord for keeping me safe so that I can return to my family and friends, and enjoy the freedom that we have in our country that many people don't have over here. We must all take the time to value our freedom that we have. I would never want to live the life that they live over here. We live in a wonderful country that we can call home. We fight over here to keep the fight off our home land. Next time you see a service member, tell him "Thanks for doing a wonderful job". I had the pleasure of coming home this summer for some R&R (by the way, I did get in 3 days of riding, thanks to my wife). I was amazed to the amount of support that our country has given to us service members who are here. It is a terrible shame to see all those who oppose what we are doing. I don't think that they would last a day over here. Maybe that is why they protest, because of fear and lack of knowledge. You could blame that one on the media..... What I am most thankful for is my family who has been my greatest supporter here. I fight to keep them safe from harm and free to walk down the street without worry of being attacked. It is terrible what the bad guys are doing to this country. It is a terrible sight to see someone hurt or even killed by these people. I am looking forward to the day that I can put these tired feet on Freedom soil and give my wife a big kiss and hug my kids again. Plus getting the time to ride my Banshee again, which my wife has claimed to be her's now. I guess I will be in the market for another Banshee when I get back. I apoligize for such the long response, but hope this sheds some light on the subject. If you would like to here more or have other questions, please let me know. I will get back to you, but may take a couple days to reply. Thanks.....

That makes sense now. I guess I have been gone to long. Things change so quickly when you are having fun!

Hello All, I have been away in Iraq and just started to get back on this wonderful forum. I have noticed many posts where people reply with "BUMP". Can someone help me out with what this means. I has gotten my curiousity going. Thanks, "Serving Proudly in Iraq"

I just picked it up tonight and it rocks!!! I let my son (age 6) play me and he was kicking my butt. Too bad he isn't that good at riding yet. I seen him pull a couple of wheelies last weekend when he thought that I wasn't watching. If is mother only saw it, he wouldn't be riding until he was out of the house. Just my 2cents. Get it, it is worth every penny of it. I bought it at Wal-mart for $39.95. Not to bad of a price for it.
