So what kind of riding do you plan on doing? I have a Banshee set up for 600ft drags... Its a drag ported 350 with lots of good stuff on it, however it's pretty much a stright line machine... Not to good for the trails at all...

if you aint rode a banshee i doubt you would have taken it to 85 MPH, it takes skill to make that happen..And if it did go that fast you went faster then half these banshees on the forum and need to trade the rappy in..

It takes skill to point it straight ahead in sixth and hold the throttle down? nah, just a moment of adrenaline and bliss before your self preservation kicks in. What feels like 85 isint though unless you had it almost redlined in 6th assuming its been geared higher.

Yea, what HE said ^ LOL I agree it just takes a set to do it not really skill, hold on, hold straight, and hold it open!

Later,

Im talking up banshee hill at glamis, not a groomed track you guys run...of course that would be easy...LOL

The toughest hill youll find is louisiana is your loading ramps as drive up to put her in the back of your truck [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I do plan to goto glaimis later this year though, wonder if I can make it up with shredders.... hmmm.....
