banshee370 Posted November 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Chase: I kick myself for not having the camera.... Banchetta doesnt need any more encouragement when climbing STUPID F'n hills!. I dont know how the man can walk w/ the size nuts he carrys around every day! It took me about 2.5 hours to make it up... averaging 85-95mph+ towing a 2 place enclosed w/ 2 quads hehehehe I raced banchetta's friend w/ the SST's (blue banshee) and a few other bikes. (sorry I dont know who) I think 99NHbanshee was in the line too. Banchetta wasnt there. I launched in second and never saw anyone on my side. By the time I made it to the other end of the field I left off the gas and the guy on the SST banshee was waving me to just go cause I was covering him w/ roost the whole race. On the sencond race back to where we started from the first time I launched in 3rd by accident.. One slip of the clutch and I was gone. Again I didnt see anyone next to me so I dont know how far ahead I was. The first race when I turned around I think I was at least 6-8 bike lenghts ahead of the SST bike after I let off the gas. I was having major traction problems all weekend.... My +4 swingarm is way to long for that hard packed gravel roads. My Trail ClawII's were spinning all the way through 6th gear. Banchetta road it and he couldnt tell if he was on pavement or dirt... all it was doing was spinning Ask him.... I think he was a bit impressed w/ my shee. I doubt I will be able to make it up again this year... I took my shee out for a quick ride tonight and something let go I had to tow it home w/ my boys lil 50. The bike was acting a lil funny this weekend (idle was all over the place) It just died outright. I get an intermittent spark... time to tear into it anyways.... Ugh~ Thanks 99nhbanshee... I got a better look at it today... I guess I messed up a whole buncha shit when I decided to turn it upside down on me heheh Banchetta: check out the drag forum and a post on some T3's Since you have an unbiased opinion maybe you can explain how my low end is and throttle response w/ my cut T3's Thanks again everyone! Lets get together again next spring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banchetta Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 It let go!!!!! Damn that sucks, thats the fastest quad I've seen around here so far. Definately impressive. It went really good and was spinning like it was on ice. I couldn't imagine if it actually hooked up!!!! Let us know what went when you pull it apart.....Even if its not runnin, if we all hook up in a few weeks, just come up!!! We'll have plenty of antifreeze w/ your name on it and your not driving this time so theres no excuses.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee370 Posted November 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Banchetta: Im thinking either my CDI or coil..... I have a spare CDI somewhere in the garage . just gotta find it. K&K may have a spare coil.... I'll be up there friday so I should know by then. I need to break out the multi-meter to see just whats bad. I cant rmember if it was you or Johnny next to me when my bike was idling.... The idle would rise and fall by at least 300-400rpm and it seemed to have a skip at low idle... UGH! I dont need this now.... hehe As for my traction issue..... The bike gets scary when it hooks.... I was just set up completely wrong for your terrain. I woulda destroyed my paddles just getting to that pit we raced at... but that would have been the only place I could have run them w/o killing em. Then things woulda been interesting Ahhh Antifreeze..... now I know what keeps you boys warm up there all winter. I'll see if I can get away for a weekend this month...... "Sorry honey... I have to go to Maine for work" hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase73 Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Dam sounds like I missed another good time I hope the weather cooperates and I can get one more trip up there this year.before winter sets in is. Its right around the corner I can almost see it I think we are going to have a big one again this year. Hey Jason ????? what do you think off the new las vagas style casino they are voting on today its going to be right in your backyard Sanford. I personally dont want it the traffic sucks now cant imagine what it would be like with a casino there and its only going to bring in 10,000 jobs I think it will do more damage then good.

Not sure, I think it'll help out a lot. Look at the taxes the state will take in. Plus 10,000 jobs isn't much for New York City, but thats a lot for Sanford area. They will have to bus people in and I'll bet a lot of people will be traveling 30-45 minutes to work there. I think the starting pay is like 15/hour...It'll definately help bring the minimum wage up... McDonalds and BK better be ready to pay!!! Small businesses aren't too crazy because of the wage increase, but I think it'll help the state and sanford quite a bit. They already plan on redoing roads and I bet the landscape will drastically change for the better. Sanford needs it...I can't see the negatives besides the wage increases which benefit the laborers in Maine.....look at how well the small businesses will do though from all the extra people working in our state. Restaraunts will do better, along w/ small sandwich stores. Construction will probably increase due to traveling. Price of land will go up, etc.....and best of all, I'll be able to have a slot machine in my living room. Look how much money I'll make!!!!

I am hoping to have my bike ready in few weeks They legalized slot machines in some counties, but the casino isn't coming in....I don't get it. They'll vote in slot machines w/ a 60% vote for horse tracks, clubs, etc.. But voted the casino out w/ a 65% margin..The casino is 80% slot machines!!!! Mainers can be sooo dumb.......
