Well I did it fellow ATV'ers!!

Me and my buddy went to pick up my father-inlaws truck, came back to my house, picked up my quad, cleaned airfilter, replaced plug, took it to carwash then headed for Outdoorwise in Decatur, TX.

On arrival I spoke to the dealer I always work with (very nice guy). I told him over the phone what I wanted for the blaster, 2500, the same as I was selling it for. Well we went outside, he took a look at it and rode it around a bit. He told me the pipe really did make a difference when the front end lifted up on him, hehe. He said he would definatly give me what I wanted.

Well take a guess at what I was looking to buy, not the warrior, JIGA GOT A SHEE! 2001 white/black Banshee. Got a great deal on it. Paid off my conseco finance on the blaster and had 500 left over to put on the shee making OTD price only 5812.someoddchange.

Now im itching to go out and ride it but have to go to stinking work tonight, arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

I took some pics of it along with me, so now some of ya can see what a goofy fool I look like, the page is uploading right now and should be up soon.
I updated my pics page with thumbnails so it will look better and put up some old pics of my blaster and the Oklahoma ride as well.

Hope to see some of you Texas riders on the trail!

Having problems uploading my page so go here and take a look at the shee here

 

You lucky lucky son of a gun! I envy you like hell! Have fun man, just be careful with that thing !

 

Congrats Jiga.Glad too see you went with a Yamaha again.Must be an awsome feeling having brakes again after riding the no brake blaster.One question though.Why not a Raptor??Just a thought I had.

 

Sounds great. I'm planning on buying a banshee soon also. You said you ride on trails, so when you ride on some report back and tell me how it performed.

 

X250rdude:
The reason I didnt go with the Raptor is
1.Waiting list is like going to sixflags and waiting on a ride when everyone has the day off!
2.First year production quad.
3.Just a tad off my budget+I dont feel experienced enough for a 660.

As soon as I go riding I will report back on the trail ride, first have to break it in right.

Im so tired, have 8 1/2 hours of work to go and so far Ive been awake for 24hrs, ugh, this day will never end!

Also, I have a few more pics up, some strange reason I cannot FTP to my site and update it correctly, weird, but they are on this file site.

Did the earlier models of banshee's come with dunlop tires? I dont remember them having dunlops.

 

Nice Bike...
My '96 banshee came with dunlops. You will eat the tread off them pretty quickly though.

enjoy and be safe

 

Man JIGA That thing looks clean! Thats about how clean mine looked until about 2 months later when I got some pipes! It looks even cleaner now. If you ever think about adding some HP the first thing I would get is some FMF pipes. Maybe You can meet me in Irving at Shady Grove (Loop 12 and Shady Grove) Saturday afternoon when you get off of work if you want? If you get off at 1pm I can meet you around 2pm or so. I'm going for sure if its not raining!
