dirtydownunder Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 so all was well, we went to the dunes and had a good ride tho it was time to leave so everyone put the bikes on there pickups (we call them ute's (short for utility) but for some reason myne wouldnt ride up the ramps well and it usualy does so i took a little run up. As i went up the ramp i touched the brake to slow but it slowed to much so i poped the clutch just to nudge me a bit further, when then the nudge turned into a push and BANG! i went through the fucking window FUCK! i yelled at the banshee haha cuase its the banshees fault of course. but what is weird is that my wheels hit the tray before my bumper can hit the window so im stumped on how it broke but it fucking did and now need a new window haha what a cunt.

lilmegill727 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 haha that sucks! isnt it you with that sick blue ford pickup that is sourt of like a car? if so that thing is sick and that sucks! Quote
dirtydownunder Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 nah thats another aussie i wish it was his pickup haha then i wouldnt need a new window, he would:) i have a 2005 mitsubishi triton 4wd so the ramps are on a big angle, and the window would be more expensive than the ford one .

05.Banshee.SE Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 It's that flat plate glass isn't it? The impact carried through the metal, and the force was exerted on that shitty rear window. It's easy to break those things. That's why I don't drive up the ramps, lol... a nice swift push will do. Besides my 2x8s aren't made for quad loading, just regular boards. They are dangerous. Quote
bonbon Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 I just opt for the no ramp load. Pick the front end up on the tailgate, then go around and pick the back up and shove 'er in! :biggrin: Quote
dragbanshee Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Shee's just getting you back for riding her ass all day. lol That sucks! Quote
dirtydownunder Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) thats what a mate said, the wheels hitting the bar sent vibrations through and broke the glass but the tray is bolted to the chassis not the cab and its about 1 1/2" away from the cab and the bumber is about 4" away from the glass. i wish i could pik it up but its just way to high, i could maybe do the front but not the rear and i dont wanna be that guy that needs help every time i load the ute up, haha if i break the next window then ill have to do something about it ill just call this time unlucky . haha drag banshee, but i thought shee loved it Edited January 26, 2009 by dirtydownunder Quote
05.Banshee.SE Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Yeah, I know what you mean. There is a gap between the bed and cab on my truck...but still the weight of a Banshee, and just tap on that glass with a quarter and you will see how thin and breakable it is... Quote
lilmegill727 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 yeah we use a trailer... so none of those problems. but sometimes if we have to load the pickup we do what bonbon said and put the front wheels on and then i hop in the pickup and pull it and my dad lifts.. but the trailer is much easier Quote
05.Banshee.SE Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Finding somewhere you can back your truck up to that is near level is worth it. Since we are so low in elevation, most of the main roads are built up, especially in most riding areas because they tend to be praries/swamps/low elevation shit like that. Any populated places are already built up. So it's easy to find a berm to load off and on from. Quote
dirtydownunder Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Posted January 27, 2009 $600au for that rear window, i dont think there will be a 2nd time haha. im gonna have to Macgyver something. Quote
Canadarider Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 holy that sucks I have a enclosed trailer no i dont need to load it in the track lol Quote
banshee_terror_ Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 that sucks im allways worried about doing that and 1 day wen i get comfterable about loadin up the shee ill probly end up breaking it Quote

Don't call yourself a cunt. That is a useful thing. :biggrin: Quote
