The haulers really do hook up like nothing else, but they don't turn quite as well as a set of sand stars. It just all depends on if you want the v-paddles or straight paddles.

I would actually recommend getting rid of that crap. I was out riding with a guy who got a rock stuck between the ring wheel and the rim. It locked the front tire up, threw him over the handle bars, and ended up with him getting a trip to the hospital.

Dirt wheels is ok. The only thing I don't like about it, is that they seem to really overhype the quads made by whatever manufacturer is lining their pockets that month.

I still would like to be that kind of engineer. It seems like it would be a pretty decent job. You either go forward or backwards, no real steering involved. Would be pretty tough to get lost, and you ALWAYS have the right of way. I'm sure there's got to be more to it than that, but it sounds pretty good.

I'm looking for a CR 500 motor. If anyone has one they are looking to sell, please send me a PM, or leave me a reply here. Thanks.

Do you have to install a battery to run this thing, or will it run off just your stock stator?

Are you talking about the crossover tube between the intake boots, or the choke tube running between the carbs? If you are talking about the crossover tube between the intake boots, you shouldn't need to run it, since there is already a crossover built into the intakes. If you are talking about the choke tube that runs between the carbs, then the answer is yes, you will need to run that.

Yugo and LeCar have products all over the world too, but I don't think that qualifies them as innovators. In all honesty, the guy's lockup may be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I'm still not gonna buy it. With those balls slinging around in there, it looks like it's just a timebomb waiting to go off.

Yeah, one of the dealerships around here was trying to sell the gasgas and the husaberg quads a few years ago, but they were special order only. I don't think they actually ever had one hit the showroom floor.

The inline water coolers will drop your temp a few degrees, but not enough to make any kind of major difference.

I wouldn't call a banshee a mechanic's nightmare by any means. Banshees are probably about the easiest quads to work on. Parts for them are easy to get, and when you do have to work on them, they are usually much cheaper to fix than a four stroke. As far as reliability, as long as you take care of your shee, it's usually a pretty reliable ride. As far as if you should get one or not, really depends on you. What kind of riding do you plan on doing? The banshees are still kings in the sand, and can be setup to do pretty much whatever else you want them to, but if you want to do something like MX, I would look into getting one of the new four strokes.

Pretty sure those things are made in europe. No clue how they run, but they sure do look funny.

If I were you, I'd see if the guy will refund your money on it, then see about spending a little more, and getting something like this. http://www.magicracing.com/UM-Full-Chassis..._p_316-816.html

The oil leak sounds like it could probably just be a blown crank seal. Is the bike all stock? Does it have pipes or anything? The way you describe it, I wouldn't pay more than $1500-2000
