crbanshee Posted August 10, 2004 Report Posted August 10, 2004 ok here is the ride of shame that takes the cake..i bought 2 shee's 1 for me 1 for my girl.both bikes had less then 20 hrs on them..so a buddy of my brother decided to come over to use my pool saw the shee's in the garage decides to take one out and ride through the neighborhood..dont ask how cuz im not sure but far as i can tell he was wide open in 6th came up on a curve (we all know how well the shee turns in the street) ends up hitting a curb flying about 45 feet hit a euculiptus tree about 11 inches diamiter snapped the tree in half hit another tree same size again snapped it in half bounced the bike off a rock about the size of a full size truck... to make a long painfull story short i took what used to be my wifes banshee to motoworld for repairs the service manager told me the bike was not even able to be fixed..there was not one part on the bike that could be saved.the gear shifter went through the case as did the rear break leaver the frame was cork scrued my poor bike came back with a quote for repair of $7,564.90...so the wife now has a brand new alba banshee courtosy of the brothers stupid ass friend...as far as the idiot that killed my bike no more than just a broken wrist some road rash and a few bumps and bruises Quote

ledofthezep Posted August 11, 2004 Report Posted August 11, 2004 yeah, that suxxs. i don't let anyone, and i mean anyone ride my shit, and that's exactly why i don't ride other people's shit. if i'm gonna f*ck somethin up, it'll be my own machine. Yeah,...you don't need any help wrecking your banshee anyway! Same here though...they must have collateral before they hop on my banshee, and I always suggest they have a fresh pair of underwear somewhere near... Quote
ondeeeznuts Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 at least the friend did the right thing and replaced the bike Yeah fix it or die! That sucks man! Quote
banshee boy 98 Posted August 24, 2004 Report Posted August 24, 2004 post a pic of the banshee then we can see what ya got. Quote
nater006 Posted August 27, 2004 Report Posted August 27, 2004 Just a side note.. its because of that exact reason that Michigan won't let you street legalize an ATV. The Secretary of State website lists it as because it has a live axle (instead of a differential) and thus will never turn safely on pavement. Sucks.. gotta know what ur doing! Quote
Klotzban1 Posted September 5, 2004 Report Posted September 5, 2004 I agree with you Led,.. when you got your machine just the way you want it there is always someone who thinks they can handle your quad like a pro and one simple mistake returns you a mangled ball of metal. Quote
Banshee~ Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 I would make him pay for the gas that you had in it to Quote
super88_banshee Posted September 6, 2004 Report Posted September 6, 2004 I would make him pay for the gas that you had in it to no kidden, at the price it costs now, you can have a small fortune invested in the gas tank contents Quote
