The Ds took me pretty bad, he even let me get a head start and jump the line ahead but he quickly put 2 bike lenghts in front of me and I never let me close in before he let off which at the end only ending up being 1 bike lenght but anyways it was a big loss to me with big head start I had.

The only "regular" maintenance on my Banshee was replacing the clutch plates. I did that about once a year.

My Banshee engine was stock for a couple years then I had a 404 cc big bore installed. It is still running very well after 3 years of riding and racing. The only engine related repairs in those 3 years were clutch plates and one clutch cable.

The Banshee can be a wheelie machine if you have the skill. It may take a little time to get used to it, but it is quite capable. And it will dump a lot of fuel while you do them.
