Holy cow I haven't posted on this site for years!! I still see a few familiar people roaming around on the site. Man has the site grown!!! A lot of people might remember me when I had a full built 426EX back in 2004...Sold it in 2006 and got out of the riding scene.

I just picked up a 2002 400ex for FREE!!! No its not stolen...but I thought I would post and say hey!! See if anyone on here see's this that remembers me....

yup. Bandit 1200 along with a turbo from an audi in a Banshee frame.....still yet to be put back toegther.

Long story short. When i parted my quad out years ago, a friend of mine was getting into the racing scene and bought a bunch of parts off of me....he built it, raced it for 1/2 of a season and then parked it....Its been sitting for 4 years and he moved out of state.

I called him this past week and asked him what his plans for it are....he said he never plans on coming back and I can go and pick it up.

So I went and got it :-)

Is that thread still lurking around? Somehow I lost all of my subscriptions to all of my old threads :-( kinda ****ty.... It'd be cool to go back and look at all of the old pictures and what not I posted years ago

Picture of my old 400 out at the ice track.... I'll have to see if I can find any during the summer months right after I washed it.

And a picture of the one I just picked up. It has a very long way to go before its even close to being as nice as my old one. Good thing YFZ426 motors have came down a lot in price sense 2004 :-)

Hahaha thank you!! Sadly the banshee is still in pieces even after all of these years. It seemed like once my friends and I all hit 16 we all lost interest in quads.... And more into vehicles and woman :-) lol. Now here I am engaged.... Have a nice WRX and finally got my toy back :-)
