Over the last 8+ years Ive been chatting w/ people from all over the country. Most of us have been chatting online at atvconnection.com. While some of us are on the west coast and others on the east coast, not all of us were able to get together for one ride. We have planned a few dune trips over the last few years.... Always being the west coast guys hitting glamis or Winchester bay, sandfest ect... while the east coast people hit Silverlake or where ever else we can find a place to ride before it gets shut down. Six years ago I decided to plan a trip for a bunch of chatters.... Each year we would go to Silverlake in Michigan.... but we wanted to get some of the people from the west coast to ride with us..... Now why would anyone on the west coast drive to Silverlake which is only 400+ acres when they have much better riding where they are....... So in 2001 we decided to find a centralized location so we could all get together..... Little Sahara Oklahoma was picked. This trip was planned for over a year..... expecting only chatters to be there....but it grew rapidly by word of mouth.... "Roostfest" is just something I have done to get friends together to do what we love most... Ride and have fun. There is nothing special about the date... Its just a date that we all agreed on. Your more than welcome to join us

coolhead: Talk about close... what side of enfield do you live on? Im right on the Mass line in enfield too.... have you ever been to Monson Sand and gravel?

Did anyone else see any of the hidden pictures? Sorry if I bothered anyone.. I just cant take it anymore and I need SAND!

The plugs are diff on the newer ones... I have one for the 88 harness 100.00+ shipping

Damm I just read this.... Your very welcome Rick, glad to hear you got it running... Good luck

I on the other hand LOVE the blaster pegs over the stockers... I have long legs and I'm now more comfortable on my shee then before. I already had a -1 pro design shifter and I still have the stock brake lever. The only bitch is if your wearing sneakers when starting it and you take the kick lever too far... It can bite the toes on the pegs. I would never go back to the stock pegs, but thats me....

For some strange reason I can picture Stan bouncing from seat to seat in his office yelling at himself, all a while everyone is walking around the shop wondering wtf he is up to now... Jim; I too hope I dont mess it up... but if I do........ I'll just fix it and run it again

Ahhh shit man I didnt want you to take my post wrong.... That was not my intention! I was just busting ass about the shocks... yes your Elka's are better than my 7 year old TCS'.... I dont want to start that whole thing again.... I was also busting about not being able to show up... Its too bad you cant and I wouldnt expect you to blow off a customer to join us.. Im sure all of us wish we could be so close to Dumont/Glamis...... But I have told my boss to kiss my ass.... So thats not a problem I appologize if my reply/comments were taken wrong.. again that was not my intentions Walter

Lets see..... I have an oil dipstick... and Im sure I have the gear here somewhere too... I also know K&K has a few used baskets and I think he wanted 40.00 each (i can take the pick of the litter if need be) I'll trade ya a set of CPI inframes and some alchy carbs for the dipstick and gear

I have....... complete rear brake assy left a-arms tie rods all off a 99 and in very good shape make offers

Thanks for the offer Walt! I need the whole thing. Lens and case. The headlight I have (the one I bought from K&K) is a newer version, so its more bulgy and bulbous that the stockers. I'll bring my '98 headlight out so we can compare. Not much difference, but it will look like a red headed stepchild with the 2 different lights. Not going to paint them either I decided. I plan on upgrading stator and lights later on anyway, so its not going to kill me to have them black for now. If you got room, stick them in your luggage, unless the "UPS Fairy" doesn't mind sending them. I just sent off an email to Shawn for availability and cost to get the other one expedited, and tomorrow I hope to sneak away to the bank for headlight $$$ and registration $$$. Just ran out of time the last few weeks. Its good to hear we'll have some old school out at the dunes too. Stan: Ok......... so whats the problem? How soon do you need them by? I'll send you both and all you will have to do is swap the lenses out from the other into this one and now you have a pair... Im not sure if they changed but the ones I have are of the 99... Did they change them again after that? Is that plastic painted yet? I dont even want to hear the word "no"

C&B. I got a few more days of real work to get out, then I have about a week to get everything together, polished and painted (not everything though ) etc.. If this shit I have doesn't turn into pneumonia on me I plan on wrenching and finishing sun up until I can't take anymore. Should work out to the night before I'll be running to the Yamaha dealer for a flag. OO I need to order that other headlight from K&K so it gets here before I leave. Damn, I don't want to be running around with only one headlight on. lol. What color light do you need? Do you need a good case or lense? I have a pair of black ones w/ one busted lense and one good one... But they are black... Let me know and I can ship them off friday or monday and I dont want to hear any bullshit excuses from you in 15 days.... Hopefully Keith (aka Crash&Burn) shows up too!

J.J. My opinion of Jim hasnt changed.. nor has my opinion of Elka shocks... We all have our opinions and personal experiences. I have no ill feelings towards Jim, only elka's.. Sorry Jim... nothing you can say or do will change that. Do I think his Elka's are better than my 6 or 7 year old TCS...... Sure... but I still wont buy elka's hehehhe I also think he is a poser and doesnt wanna show up at Dumont.

http://www.roostfest.com/rf04.htm Everything you need to know about this tip is in that link.... You dont need or HAVE to have a fully tricked out banshee to be there.... Were there to have fun and RIDE! Contact me if you have any questions or post there here.... Between myself and many others we will do what we can to answer your questions

Otis: "Roostfest" is something I started almost 6 or 7 years ago. It was my way of getting friends (local and across the country) together to do what we enjoy the most. I started chatting (atving.com's chat room) online almost 9 years ago.. and in that time I've had the pleasure of meeting some great people. (and a few wackos too ) It is NOT a banshee only event nor a BHQ only event. The first get together was a small group mainly consisting of east coast boys. We all got together at Silverlake.. and once again the year after. Problem being is that no one from the west coast wanted to drive across the country to hit Silverlake when much bigger and better dunes are elsewhere. We finally got everyone from the west and east together at Little Sahara Ok..... Everyone had a blast as always... I planned another for New Years 2003 at Glamis but w/ holidays and weather... we couldnt get any easterners (besides me) to go. I try to plan each event at least a year in advance to give EVERYONE ample time to plan and save money. Stan: I got off the phone w/ Keith a little while ago.. he said he wants to join us.... I wish I could remember his nickname in here.... 15 days, 14 hours, 27 minutes, and 48 seconds left until ROOSTFEST 2004 Dumont

OK OK OK>> Back the F'n truck up...... First off how did I get dragged into this hehe I resent being called a sweetheart too! Im just another jackass thats glued to this board and is willing to help out a fellow banshee rider. I cant always help everyone but I do my best to help those in need..... I will NOT accept anything from ANYONE at roostfest.. Unless its in the shape of a tall blond....... Ohh wait..... My wife is gonna be there.... Scratch that idea for now Jim. Your right... Dont do it.... I wont accept it. Why am I so special? Look at how many people on this board that contribute way more than me...... What makes you think I deserve it over any of them? Back on subject now Justin....... Bring your ass out to dumont and between a few of us we will get ya dialed in....

I said 25 for a COIL! not a stator

I have a tranny 150.00 Left upper and lower a-arms 100.00 TDR crank w/ TZ bearings and hotrods 3 rides on it 200.00

whats the point in buyin 18cc domes and rechamber'in them into something like 22cc domes, just buy the 22cc domes right ??? Im confused. meat: The sqush could be set wrong w/ an off the shelf 22c dome. My last motor builder had me get him blank domes and he cut them to basicly a 16cc or 17cc w/ a diff squish. running 190# compression on pump gas is just asking for trouble. I would start w/ 110 octaine. Most "off the shelf" domes are set for pump gas on a stock motor... Once you go bigbore or porting where your intake/exhausts ports are altered, as with your transfers, you almost have to go to a custom dome. Otherwise you risk detonation (at worst) or a loss in performance. Smokin350: Did you advance your timing at all either? When ever doing a compression check.. make sure you hold the throttle wide open while kicking and dont stop until the guage stops moving. Your also overheating from running lean/detonation. It sounds to me like you should be running race gas or they cut the wrong size domes.

25 shipped for a coil

worth 400-500 all day long. With or without papers??
