Shee brings bad luck.

[Bunny771]

So basically i was saving for the past few months to buy a banshee when finally i had enough money. I found a 2001 banshee, rebuilt engine, good condition for 3700 canadian after tax. I jumped on this deal immediatley. So i take her home and she runs fine. The guy told me to put some new gas in her becuase the old stuff has been sitting since the spring. I put new gas in her and she started to bog. I stripped the whole thing down (not knowing) and wasted 5 hours trying to figure out what this mystery bogging sound was. So at 12pm that night i go on this forum to find out that it was only the parking break. I fixed it and went fourweeling the next morning. When i was going up a hill i hit something and fell off, i got a minor concussion. I went to emergency for the first time in my life and had a cat scan and a xray to find out i was ok. I just had huge headaches and nausia. So the next day i was like ok, since i cant ride my fourwheeler i will sand some of her down and give her some new paint. I was sanding down the handle bars and i got something in my eye. I didnt think much of it. That night i had a huge migrane and i didnt sleep. Aswell my eye was burning. When i got up i looked in the mirror and there was a black dot down right of my pupil. So i went to school a little late and it was the most hagrid day of my life. i got home and went to emergecny at 330 for the 2nd time in 3 days. I waited 4 hours for a doctor to come and freeze my eye and take this metal razor tool and flick some of it out. Now im here with one eye opened and just laughing at how much of a retard i am. I hope your banshees havent brought your this much bad luck. Well my banshee is still in good condition so i guess im happy.

 

hope you enjoyed my story.

Damn bro! I just could not stop smiling while reading this thread. because I think of all the times that I have had several things go wrong for me and you just have to look back on it and laugh . But think of it this way, you should be good to go for a long time now. I mean bad lucks gotta run up sometime.

Atleast the Banshee is ok :beer:

 

I've had nothing but good luck with mine so far. I was a little upset when I first got it. The dealership said to run 40:1 so I did and I proceded to foul about 6 sets of plugs there after. So I jump up to 50:1. Still rich but running better. Next I add K&N airfilter, +4 timing and VF3 reeds. Perfect, done all of that and my jetting is just now good, although that doesnt matter anymore, the whole topend / filter set up is getting changed.

 

Sorry to hear about your misfortunes, but really I think you can only expect better luck to come from it now you got all of that out of the way the week you had it. :yelrotflmao:

sounds kind of like me. I bought mine for a guy who traded it for a stang. he had no idea what was on it or what was done to it but I got a deal. 1500. anyway. then my luck got better. recently I decided to rebuild and it turns out the motor is bored 60 over and is stroked. pretty sweet. lol
