CFM Posted May 13, 2007 Report Posted May 13, 2007 Does not heal as quick as the 2002...... Went to jump over a 2-3 foot wide drainage ditch and leaned back way to far. I hate twist throttles, but this has one. Leaned back, grabbed WAY too much gas and got pitched. Damn Banshee looked like a missle! It rolled a bit, collapsed the left front a-arm, then got pinned upsidown (don't know how it kept running?) Ran WFO for 20-30 seconds while I laid on the ground trying to breathe, then I heard it grenade, WHACK, BOOM crank bearing went bad.loaded the whole left side with shavings Whole left side rashed as hell, butt cheek yellow/brownish// Ouch!

cam2 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Posted May 13, 2007 damn, scooter, you have to be more careful. i hope you heal up quick. if not, a half gallon of jack and a bottle vikes will help ease the pain. Quote
locogato11283 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Posted May 13, 2007 damn that sucks man. glad youre ok.. 31 years old?! are you referring to yourself or your bike. cuz if you have a 1976 model banshee it might be worth some money! :biggrin: Quote
CFM Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Posted May 13, 2007 Mark, if you do design one, please allow for the Stainless rods running from my knees to my hips (Femurs) It may complicate the project.. Did that one when I was 18, my first helocopter ride Mom always said I was hard on my body, but I guess I never listened.. Thanks for the offer on the arms, but I already had some new Armadillo +2 arms that I installed. Also took the fresh engine from my other bike and have it just about in. Had some fresh powdercoated pegs and TAG bars that I also bolted up, and it looks better than ever. Needed... Front rims Grips Lever Rear tires (pinched the sidewall) Original engine.. Piston, crank shot Have to split cases to clean Get away with a .020 bore/hone (minds well send them to Jeff for the works inc. porting) Head pitted (buy cool head) Money pits, that's all these are. While I rebuild, Minds as well lighten the flywheel, port, timing plate, polish covers, shift star, case saver, stainless bolt kit, weld new crank, WTF, this is gonna be $800 Good thing I love these bikes. Heck, I haven't been over to the storage place for my stuff, I'm sitting on a rear tire/rim with a Banshee seat on top for the computer seat. Just forgot how these things hit, It's the first time in a while that I can just ride everywhere (moved here 6 days ago) Quote
FireHead Posted May 13, 2007 Report Posted May 13, 2007 Mark, if you do design one, please allow for the Stainless rods running from my knees to my hips (Femurs) It may complicate the project.. I was thinking something a little more along the lines of replacing a leg with Tony Danza (South Park). :biggrin: Quote
KaosBanshee44 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Posted May 14, 2007 That's why i will never put a twist throttle on my banshee.....They just don't feel comfortable and now sounds like they can be dangerous...lol Quote
