HAHA nice, quote of my friend after this last weekend "just another Alaskan adventure" lol... now for the story behind it. So my buddies dad works for the Ford dealer here locally and he works fleet so he tries to sell multiple truck at a time. Well this mine right out side of this place called Delta junction, for us that live in Alaska we know the significance for those of you who dont, look on a map, I live in Anchorage and Delta junction is about 60 miles short of the next biggest city(Fairbanks) which is about a 6-8 hour drive from my house. Well my friends dad needed help because he had to drive 3 brand new '09 Ford F-250 superdutys up there, plus we needed a vehicle to get back, so me and my dad went to help them. On the way up the roads are icy as shit and we driving through the mountains so its up and down hills... well we come around this one corner and the tires break loose so Im thinking OH SHIT either hit the mile marker pole or go off the road so I miss the mile marker and end up testing the off-road capabilities of the truck, then get stuck in 3 feet of snow only about 3 feet off the highway, luckily it was right by a road maintance station so were were able to get a chain and get it out in a couple minutes... the only damage was I broke the lower valance under the bumper off and the front license plate mount. I guess you got to break in the truck some time :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecialEd 05 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I had one not long after I got my new Banshee. I'm pretty regular on maintenance, I grease it every ride, do the air filter every ride and change the tranny oil every 3-4 rides. I was using Belray oils at the time and bought a bottle of Gear Saver 85 for after this ride. (to go with the half bottle from the last change) So we go for a ride and have a great time, probably ran about 3-4 hours up. Get back home and wash the Shee. Now time for an oil change and I'm like "I swear I had half a bottle of tranny oil left over" and then "that's funny, I thought I used that half bottle of 2-stroke oil..." "OH SHIT!" I accidentally mixed half a bottle of tranny oil as premix. The Belray bottles, even the color of the oil are identical I just didn't look at the label. :: So now I use Amsoil, there's no fuckin' that up. Well didn't seem to bother the Shee, i just drained the gas and mixed up a fresh batch. All good, my buddy was like "well any oil is better than no oil right". And 4 years on I still haven't opened the engine up yet. But I can tell Shee needs a freshen up so top end time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameehsnab Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Blew a head gasket down in OK. Got a new gasket from power sports, rolled the shee into the tent because the wind was blowing so mush I didn't think I could protect the open cylinders from sand, and proceded to replace the head gasket and torqued all the nuts down. took it out to the dunes and its running like shit and lots of noise from the top end. I stop and take a look at the top end. OH SHIT!! I forgot to tighten the spark plugs( just hand tightened them) and both of them are out and sand is everywhere. One time I am following my brother while trail riding at night in OK and he and a couple of other guys are throwin so much dust up, that I am having a hard time following them. At times I have to turn my lights off so I can see their tail lights gust so I can follow them. We were crusing down this one trail doing 30 - 40 mhp and I am trying to figure out where they are in front of me when all the sudden the dust clears and the sand drops away from me. They had turned and I was going straight thru the air and into a 3' burm. OH SHIT!! I actually tried to jump off the bike by jumping straight up, figuring I would go over the handle bars and land on my feet with my incredable ninja skills. My shins hit the handlebars and fliped me over. I remember thinking this is gonna hurt as I am heading into a bunch of brush upside down. "Luckly my neck broke my fall" and I bounced right up. The guy behind me thaught I was dead. He claimed my feet were above the top of my whip. I was pretty sore and stiff after that, but nothing was broken on me and the bike just had a bent up bumper. The first time I went out on a 4 wheeler I was with my brother and I was on a borrowed suzuki LT-Z250 (now my daughters bike) and I was going up a dune when the back tires started to dig in and I grabbed the clutch (on a LT-Z250 there is NO CLUTCH only all brakes). OH SHIT!! The front started to come up and over. I knew I couldn't bail fast enough so I clamped onto the bike with my legs (I wasn't about to let that thing supprise me with a blow to the sack) and the bike rolled over on top of me. It almost had enough speed to roll back onto its tires but stopped short of that. Again I was lucky I was not injured and the only part dammaged on the bike was a piece of plastic poped out of place.

dajogejr Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I got my bike back together the night before a race, started it up at the track the next day and it was only running for literally a minute or two. I noticed a LOT of heat by my shins.... I put my hand down there, and the cylinders were hot (this is an alky bike, mind you....they take a little while to build heat, even in spring/summer temps) I was at the staging line, shut the bike off.... I forgot to fill the radiator the night before. IF I would've actually made a pass...my bet would be I would've locked it up solid or smoked something....
