BansheeJen Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 My pops has a banshee, and about 4-5 other friends have shees too. I'm on a 450 though. We're about 45 min or so from Murray. Havent been there much the last couple of months though. But now that race season is winding down maybe a few trips are in order. Quote
icecold_shee Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Posted July 6, 2005 thats cool, so how do you like the yfz450, so do u keep up with the shee's or do they all smoke u, anyways, let me know if yall all go ridin sometime out at murray, would like to join yall, and maybe make a trip to little sahara sometime, ttyl Quote
icecold_shee Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Posted July 7, 2005 legend, saw a page on the net bout red river atv park in dunhom tx, looked good with some big jumps, let me know if youve been there or know anytthing about it, thinkin about goin down there ina few wknds Quote
BansheeJen Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 I really like the 450 so far. I had a banshee but sold it to my dad and then he sold his to a friend. I think to a degree even I underestimated the capabilities of the 450 when I bought it. Although I dont drag race much anymore, my buddy pulled the stuffer in the pipe added an air filter, and did a bit of jetting and he had no trouble staying right with the banshees or being ahead just a bit. Its been a good bike so far and much more suitable for XC racing than the banshee was for me, it doesnt tire me out so much at the end of the day. I do miss that snappy power at the dunes though. We're trying to make a dune trip sometime in September or October I think once it starts to cool off just a bit. I love going up there and we usually have some friends from Indiana that meet us up there. If you are talking about the place in Bonham, Tx on the red river I dont know that I'd waste my time going up there. Its pretty small. Unless some things have changed the jump area is more like a dune supercross track. It bordered on needing paddles tires the sand was so thick. They had carpet laying across the front of the jumps I guess to prevent erosion and such. Good place for utilities cause they played in the river a lot. That place ranks up there with Rocky Ridge, I wont go back to either one. And if they were the only places to ride i'd likely sell my bike. You much as far as MX? Nice little track in Sherman we go to. Not very technical, but fun on a banshee because its a good haulin @$$ track. I can run most of it on the 450 in 4th and 5th gear. They are planning on a remodel during the summer I know to improve jumps and change the track design. Quote
AiRbRuShMaN Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 i'm in anadarko..right near chickasha if you know where that is..i wouldnt mind makin a trip to Little Sahara and meetin you up there sometime...aimin to go this weekend..i drag alot though so you might not have too much fun with me lol Quote

icecold_shee Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Posted July 8, 2005 banshee jen, guess ill pass on the bonham track, but might try out that sherman track sometime, sounds pretty fun, but still really wanna go to sahara. Im tryin to find some people down here to go with, but just got my banshee 2 wks ago so dont really know of anyone yet, if you come down to murray to go ridin, give me a holla and i can show ya some places round there. so when are good times to go the sahara, is now good, or is it just way to hot. airbrushman, id be interested in meetin you in sahara sometime, when were you plannin on going again, dont know about draggin, is ur shee not set up to go for long trips, but yeah, just let me know when you might head up there sredish, yeah, just let me know when you come down, this month im on days and usually go out there every sat to ride, Quote
sredish Posted July 8, 2005 Report Posted July 8, 2005 sahara is hot as folk right now... for me anyway. Quote
BansheeJen Posted July 8, 2005 Report Posted July 8, 2005 Yep dad is going to start working on the track this weekend I believe. Sahara is a little warm this time of year unless you catch a weekend when it happens to cool off which doesnt usually happen. After racing in 105+ degree temps last weekend i'll have to pass on Sahara until it cools down a bit. Thought i was gonna stroke out in the heat out in West Texas. Anybody up for Murray on Saturday? I'm not super fast as a rider but i've been out there enough that im not going to get lost if I get seperated from the speed demons. I might head up there early and ride before it gets hot. Then go to Sherman on Sunday if they'll let us ride, dont know for sure when he's starting the track changes but it will be soon. Quote
AiRbRuShMaN Posted July 8, 2005 Report Posted July 8, 2005 hey icecold..anytime is a good time for me..let me know in advance when you wanna meet me up there..i'm just an hour and a half south of the dunes so i can meet u there anytime you want..my bike is duneable but i always end up at the strip..lol..it addicting to me..i'll do some duning with you if you wanna meet me there..i like to go explore the dunes..i love the sand whether i'm dragging or trail riding..i look kinda out of place duning with an extended shee thats custom painted but oh well lol..give me a shout man Quote
icecold_shee Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Posted July 8, 2005 bansheejen, sat sounds good to me, id like to go ridin, im not the fastest there is, and yeah, its not hard finding your way back, if you come down, id like to ride early in the morn if it possible, gonna meet some friends on the boat later in the afternoon, just let me know what you decide, ttyl airbrushman, im gonna come up there for sure sometime, but i think im a wait till it cools off, maybe come up on a fri and stay till sun, but ill let you know if i come up earlier Quote
BansheeJen Posted July 8, 2005 Report Posted July 8, 2005 I'm going to try and head up there in the morning for a couple of hours. Unless something happens tonight at the drag races that is. I'll be in a 05 Tacoma double cab, black utility trailer in tow. Name is Jennifer by the way just stop by if you want. Quote
