Atomic Monkey Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Just a ventalation b4 I go on a fucking rampage and people die... I'm in the middle of a reduex of my Banshee, and damn near done... I sent the frame out to be blasted, get it back on Saturday, notice a crack in the frame in front of where the grab bar bolts on. No biggie, I weld it. Flip the frame over, tons of spots the blaster missed (better believe he's getting a call!) Go to Menards buy sand, load the blaster... it won't drop, all clumped up 'cause it's wet... I say enough, gotta go, load everything on the truck, and I hear thunder... fuck! Everthing back off the truck and into the shop... it pours. But that's ok, talked to the powdercoat dude, and its getting taken care of... some sort of hot blast and acid dip... cool! Then I get my trans back today after being sent out to be modded and there's a big 'ol cobber in the shift drum... dbl. fuck! Looks like I'm grinding and polishing now... ... And then... and then I open the package with my brand new Mull water pump, and one of the fins is bent! Triple FUCK! Still needing to deal with that one... Ok I'm done... carry on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Welcome to Banshee life. Go kick the neighbor's dog and carry on. Remember......you could own a quad that runs ok forever with very little maintenance. But nobody is impressed with a 400EX. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Monkey Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Lol, we're scoping a 400EX right now because of excess engine noise, and the screen is full of metal... still runs like a champ though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Welcome to Banshee life. Go kick the neighbor's dog and carry on. Really? About five years ago I just moved up to kicking the neighbors smallest child in the shin. Something napoleonic going on for sure, but it works.

Atomic Monkey Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Just an update... Mull is exchanging the water pump, Brandon is a very good person to deal with! And the frame is finished and ready to be picked up from the powdercoater.... good deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
