sheefreak Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 I think the biggest problem w/racing up hills at Silver Lake is there aren't any tall enough... except maybe the directionals. And no, it never gets boring on the drag strip. Besides, I have a R that I dune when I want. Quote
Blewbyu Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 Not that i have anything against you guys that have really long and super fast banshees....but does it get boring just hanging out at the drags all day? also...why does noone race up the hills at silver? they do at other dunes... i race my freinds up hills, but mines mostly stock, so i cant do much more than second, mabye third gear. i just think it would be sweet to watch some of you really fast guys race up a hill, instead of down the flats... anyone game? Im down with that, the problem is our hills aren't nearly as big as the ones out west. Quote
badassbanshee479 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 it never gets boring! Plus most of us bring 2 bikes so we can dune ride also! Quote

dajogejr Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Not that i have anything against you guys that have really long and super fast banshees....but does it get boring just hanging out at the drags all day? Nope...I love it. I'm too old, fat and out of shape to bounce around dunes all day. I'd like to pickup a second bike again one of these days...but, you can hotlap a few passes, come back...drink water or pop, have a smoke, BS...etc. I love going fast, but the friends and camaraderie is just as much fun for me as well...especially with some of the characters we all hang out with...

bronco91shee Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 i didnt realize you guys all had second quads. thats cool. mabye some day i will make real money and i could make a fast one as well. As ot the hill racing, it seems big on my shee, but i guess thats cuz im so much slower than you guys :yelrotflmao: but it should be fun next weekend. im anxious... just putting new chain, sprocket, and head gasket in this week. so i should be ready. one question though.... does it take a specail tool to make my rear shock stiffer? i bottomed out 2 weeks ago jumping, and need to make it stiffer...thanks guys Quote
badassbanshee479 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 nope! just a drift pin and a hammer. loosen the jam nut on the spring and turn the other nut when ya get it where ya want it, tighten down the jam nut. Quote
