Kev55 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 went for a ride today and wrecked my bike bad :/ Just had installed a new handle bar w/ a twist throttle kit so I was playing, getting used to it. Went off a jump and as i came down it was kinda sketchy and when i pulled back it must have twisted the throttle cuz the banshee just revved up and came up. Flipped me off of it and went on tumbling. since ive put that damn twist throttle on I have had so many close calls where i hit the gas by accident trying to pull the brake lever. I landed on my ass and didnt have a scratch on me so i really have nothing to complain about but god damn my poor banshee i was actually too frustrated to call it a day because i pretty much had just gotten there after driving an hour, so i just duct taped my front arm and kept on riding my limp shee. <script src='http://img28.imageshack.us/shareable/?i=img00319201103161443.jpg&p=tl' type='text/javascript'></script><noscript></noscript> damage assessment: broken A-arm both silencers bent broke the ends off on the back of the frame. plastics are pretty fucked up in the back Quote

Kev55 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Posted March 17, 2011 I like the twist throttle cuz my thumb always gets tired and it feels more like a bike w/ twist but this shit is dangerous idk how im supposed to safety that. 1 Quote
Glamis321 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 I like the twist throttle cuz my thumb always gets tired and it feels more like a bike w/ twist but this shit is dangerous idk how im supposed to safety that. I saw a pretty trick thumb/twist combo at the sand show a couple years back. you could use thumb throttle and when your thumb gets tired, hit a switch that unlocks the twist throttle, or vice versa. I rememeber it being a little pricey tho.. Quote
crustydemon Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 I've looped out because of a twist throttle too but never that bad. You done did fuck some shit up boy. Haha. By the way, you need some new front tires. Quote
BUILDER Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 I love my twist throttle all my bikes have one on them. It takes a little getting use to but much better than a thumb I think. Sorry about your bike that sucks. Quote

I rememeber it being a little pricey tho.. That'll be the Terry cable dual gasser, moose make one but I think is just a branded Terry cable item. I think they've come down a bit on price now, good idea though. Quote
sand geek Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 Had a twist throttle since forever. Hopped on my neighbor's raptor a few weeks ago, about 5 minutes in my thumb was throbbing. I love my twister....and it keeps people from wanting to ride my bike Quote

lalizzle Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 man poor shee few hundred and she's back Quote
duramaxsmoke Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 twist and atv dont mix so many close calls with that Quote
remi_357 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 twist and atv dont mix so many close calls with that agreed i would never put a twist throttle on a atv, but hey to each his own Quote
CrazyBRONCOguy Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 I have a Dual Gasser setup on my quad. I like the twist most of the time, Also the the thumb on it is easier to push then the stock one. Did that tape really hold it togethor long enough to ride it? Quote
