hey man you are welcome to ride with me anytime!!

come on out and i'll show you some serious trails.

also if you need any repairs or modifications let me know.

shoot me a pm and i'll tell you where and when iam riding again.

it's great to find more people here to ride with.  

The shee has been sitting up in a barn for a year, the guy I bought it from rode it hard and never did any repairs on it. The motor has no problems though, but I would like to clean it up and rebuild it. Suspension is shot so I will have to do all new suspension, a-arms, etc. As far as modifications it has been jetted, filter, and pro circut pipes. Hopefully in a couple of months I will be doing a full frame off rebuild on it.  

Any help with this would be great!! I need to meet some folks any how. I just moved up here in Dec. and the only folks I know is my parents.  

A.Volz get ya a shee man, I have rode raptors and they are a blast but still don't have the kick like a 2-stroke 350 banshee. I love it! The most fun I have ever had on a four wheeler.  

glad to help, i can get your cylinders bored out for around 40.00 per.  the piston kits i can get at a good price too from wiseco. you can get a 1 up front sprocket for $15.00. (more top speed without losing any bottom end.)
i have a 1 up on mine and if i lost any bottom end i can't tell.  but man i sure gained some top end!!!

if you wanna keep it factory we can get you some really good wiseco rings and hone your cylinders.

we can polish the intake and exhaust ports on the cylinder to give you a little more power.

and go buy you some boyeson dual stage carbon reeds.
or the carbon race reeds that AKtive makes.
( Aktive actually is a better race reed, but harder to get)
its already jetted and has good exhaust, so the expensive part is already done.

as far as a arms... i believe they are the same 7.5 inch travel a arms that they put on the blaster...??
if so i have some used ones we can check to see if they are better than what you have. actually i have a spare blaster frame here.  so there may be some decent parts we can trade out. just leave me your old parts to work with on the old frame.

i have to eventually one of these days rebuild by beast atv. ( a blaster frame with a Honda intercptor 700 v4 on it.) i broke the last frame in half with the v4 engine on it. i didn't weld all of my supports in on the frame and the v 4cylinder interceptor engine had just a little too much torque for it. but it was a project in the works.
i put it on a ltz400 frame first but the axle bearings kept ripping apart.

yeah come on out and ride man, i'll introduce you to the other guys i ride with too.  

sounds great, i really want to drag it, just not sure if they do the whole sand drag type thing around here, if they didn't then i was just gonna set it up for jumping and i'm a addict of speed. I was actually looking into possibly stroking and doing some upgrades to the engine!  

yeah we really don't have the sand drag thing set up.
too much dirt not enough sand...

more of a jumping/ low level racing thing.

some hard fast trail riding goes on around here alot.

but basically just getting out and riding with friends.

the hunter road powerlines are pretty sweet to ride on and you can ride down to the exit ramp they haven't finished yet and drag on pavement if ya want.

there's a new place iam checking out, i have ridden about 80% of the trails there and need to get back out there and check em all out.
then there's summit, which has some trails and a small sandtrap.

houston valley is nice too but it's a pay to play, but not too bad $5.00 per atv ride all day.  

Hey wolf, where do you live? I like to go riding all the time. And the more people there, the merrier. I stay in Blanchard, Ok. Do you ever go riding anywhere close to there? If you do, then write me at dylanmiller66@yahoo.com and let me know if you want to hit some trails. We usually go down to Purcell, Ok. to the river down there. If you like sand, there is plenty of it there. There is another place that my friend told me about in Mcloud, Ok. It has different skill level trails, but it costs about $7.00 for the day.  

i Live in Ooltewah tennessee, my son and i are planning on doing some touring this summer.

we want to load the trailer up and take a month to go ride in different states.

we are hoping to hit california and the dunes they have there.
been told there are some good places to ride in arizona.

and we are wanting to head down to the florida panhandle and ride some sand there. ( i own vacation property there so we can do florida anytime)

we are working on putting together a list of places we want to ride.


if you are ever down here come on by and ride.

I am working on building a track for this summer.

and we have good places to ride here as well.  

Thanks for the invite. Well, if you think of Oklahoma, there is a place called Little Sahara State Park, it has big sand hills and a lot of them. Really, it is a better place to ride than Purcell or anything around Okc. But,if you don't get to come here, tell me how Glamis is in California. Oh,one more thing. I have a 2002 Yamaha Banshee and I am looking for the Toomey T-5's for it. Do you know of a place I could get some really cheap? I would really like to know. If you could help me, I would appreciate it alot.  

let me check with my supplier and see what they going for there.

we are wanting to drive to california and ride but hit everything we can between here and california, then ride in california.

take a few days in each place to ride and see some of the sights.
and decide which was our favorite on the way home.

we'll be doing photo's and video's of the whole trip.

and i'll be posting them on my myspace page.

like i say this will be during the summer.

here's my myspace page so you can look for the photo's in the future.
