Dazeys Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Any old guys ride Banshees ? I'm 55 and ride mine alot, Although my Renegade still get more seat time. Then I make a few runs on my GSXR powered 86 LT 250r. Will heel guard from a Warrior or Blaster fit a Banshee? I have nerfs but want the guards too. Or are there any after market ones that fit? Quote
NYUK Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 will be 44 soon, still having a blast. thumpers just don t do it for me. Quote
gstaten24 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 My grandpa is 70 and keeps up with us on his banshee. Awesome guy!! Quote

Larry's Shee Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 How about I just say I bought an introductory model 250 Elsinore new? Messing with two strokes since before they had reed valves. Quote

Larry's Shee Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Well the 70yr old has me beat by about a dozen years. The Banshee is actually my son Larry's, I just fix it . But when I have to test it I still feel like I'm 20 again. Only problem is keeping in mind that I won't heal quite as fast As for the Elsinore I still have it. Haven't rode it in a few years but actually thought about bustin it out the other day. Gonna have to clean the carb. Quote

MILO Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 I'm 36, but I can only hope that I can still rip it up on a Banshee when I'm retired. Quote
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 41 and still upgrading. Never enough power. Even though I had a big "Get off" last year. (Other than some sprained ribs I was fine) I'm alway curious when age will get me. I never see many over 50 posting, so I figure life will decide why I'll change what I'm loving now. I assume I'll be moving into a V-8 sand rail by age 50. (I WON'T join the side x side movement!) Great to see guys still riding. I'm loving the dunes and the Badlands...and I'm even going to race in the Megacross series this year. (Hope I'm not writing checks my body can't cash.) So anyway.......just when can I realistically see myself as the "Old Guy"? (I'm sure my 13 year old will have a different answer than you will. LOL) Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Posted March 21, 2011 TNT here on BansheeHQ is at least 97 and he still rides. Quote

J.J. Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 I'll be 44 in August and the wife says I still act like I'm 18. Heres to us old guys. 44 in June, busy assembling a 4mm Serval, must be having a mid-life crisis Quote
