lokisbuddy Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 sorry I wasnt video taping at the time I was holding my daughter. I wish I was it would have been on real tv and funniest home videos all in one day lol. if you look at the brush pile by the little jump at the bottom of the hill that jump was blocked by the tree. We cut it out of there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Rollins Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I dont know about that girlfriend of yours but I know that my wife wont budge when it comes to me telling her how and what she will ride. She doesnt really care what she rides. She loves playing in the mud though going really slow. I think that my wife would hate a Banshee. Several opinions here as suggested before are really good. I like the plan to adjust the thumb screw to limit top speed first. The option to just get her a 300ex is also good...Low End Torque and speed that she can control. Maybe even a polaris trailboss 330 for the shifting elimination, light weight and ease of use....also big cushy seat. I didnt like the idea of turning a perfectly good Banshee into a freaky piece of garbage with (NO RESALE VALUE). The gearing thing I believe would only be an option if she wants to try a banshee, geared down like that, otherwise she wont ride it if she doesnt feel comfortable and confident on it. Let her choose what all SHE WANTS, and she WILL ride more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkeypuncher Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yeah no offense, but thats fucked!! Just set the thumb throttle screw to govern it. good idea. But her problem is when she panicks she holds her open. (Thats how she wrecked the blasty) hahaha.....sorry, i shouldn't laugh at that. :laugh: ....

AKheathen Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) idea 1- stock banshee, 2-1 intake with the smallest carb you can get, and glue half the reeds closed. idea 2- hook a switch into the throttle lever and wire it to the park brake wires, so that if you punch it, it will be governed to 2300 rpm's idea 3- both Edited March 12, 2009 by AKheathen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasGDub Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Rollins has a great point. I had a little 150 that is geared so it works great for a learning quad. It has no power until you get it way up top. I think this along with the thumb limit will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rollins Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) AKheathen: That was the funniest statement Ive heard in weeks...."Glue half the reeds shut" Man I laughed for like 5 minuites straight.. Just saying it made me giggle. I would think that if it had any problems my wife would leave it there and walk to camp never getting on it again. Women want it to start and run perfectly all the time, My wife doesn't want any excuses of why the altitude is effecting the engine. I dont ever think I could put her on one of the Banshees and have her feel confident. This is some great stuff here. Edited March 13, 2009 by R.

RollinRhino Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 The blaster was too much for her? I would get her a docile 4 stroke deal instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandfrk33 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I bought my old lady a banch in 03. Left it bone stock. First time she wrecked, she never rode again. Waste of time. Buy her something she will actually ride. Just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
