Banshee first start up.

[HondaPohl]

Ive had this banshee project for a couple of weeks now. I got it pretty much in boxes. Well I started it up today for the first time and it was music to my ears. So stoked when it ran! Time to go eat some 4 strokes. HAHA I hope.

[sand_blaster]

Sounds good. So are you familiar with Treverton pretty well? I've only ever ridden by Centrailia and The Gap (500 hill) But have been dying to get out to treverton. It would be nice riding with someone that already knows some of the trails.

I've learned a lot along the way and some big thanks to Hondamaster5505 for keeping me from blowing up my fresh rebuild way back when he was only 16 :-)

I've yet to get out to Treverton , but I'd love to join you if I ever get my swingarm rebuilt. Tough to do in the cold though. :rolleyes: May be a few more weeks..

Haha thanks! Banshee's are my Niche. And im just a motorhead in general, going to be attending UNOH this coming August for Auto and High-Performance Tech. :D

I would love to get a big group together. Ive been dying to try Trevorton myself.

[Muggzy]

If we can pick a date in the spring, you can definitely count me in. I'd even call in sick for a Fri or a Mon.

[HondaPohl]

We can meet up in Trevorton. I will show you guys that spot. We usually start at Gap Hill first than drive up to treverton. Right now Im building a 400 PV T-rex motor. Hopefully I have it done by mid jan.

[HondaPohl]

First ride with the Kehin PJ's. It barely ran at first but was able to get it to run half decent but not perfect. This is trevorton in the snow.

[Hondamaster5505]

We'll make a small group trip with a couple of us and ill bring some friends of mine if they're down.

Nice! Mine will be virtually unchanged as my car seems to keep my wallet held hostage, but I guess if it's not broken don't fix it!

I miss my 916's but the FMF's have been better suited to my riding so far.

No biggie really, I got a loanstar stock length swinger and a dual row bearing carrier (both used) 'cause my chain jumped off my sprockets a few miles into the woods. Long story-short it's cause the bearings started to wear a little and vibrated the carrier loose :eek2: Made it back OK but won't let that happen again. The 28PWK's are for my never ending quest for better low end response.
Anyway, we'll have to meet up in the spring. http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab266/Muggzy_photo/Icons/sport-1.gif

Wow haha.
And for sure! Wanna get a good riding season in before I go to Ohio for college in August :(

[sand_blaster]

I cant get enough of coal vids, I saw yours on bhq.
The paddles really dont get torn up from the coal hills do they?

They do. U might get 10 rides out of a set of paddles. Depending on the quality. I run the AMS areospeeds. I have 5 rides on them now and they are getting chunky.

[sand_blaster]

Ahh ok.

[Hondamaster5505]

Shale is the major killer of tires. But most coal-type riding is rough on them. All my rear tires always get chewed up looking after a couple rides.
