Im pretty much decided (we’ll see how that goes over with the wife
) I’m doing a couple of solo, low profile Glamis runs.
Mostly to do some testing and tweaking.
I have a banshee that has been a back burner for quite some time.
Managed to over the years throw a new front end at it, swing arm, a mild stroker engine, and a new fuel system at it.
That was since 07ish after it being in a coma in the tool shed for a few years with a broken engine and wasted crank.
Through out all of it, I never rode it.
The last couple years I’ve dragged it out there in March for an annual trip with friends from out of state.
In two trips I have less than 4 gallons of fuel through it.
It’s almost frightening, lol.
I need to dial in
Castor
Camber
Front shock compression
Rear shock compression, rebound and damper.
Gearing
Tire pressure
Tires..considering going to a 10 paddle.
But that would lead to more gearing..
Then there’s jetting. It’s safe fat at the moment. Not fat enough to foul plugs putting around for a few miles, but blackish Brown plugs.
This is the least of my priorities.
Getting the tire/gear/front end dialed is of primary goal.
Am I nuts for thinking it’s ok to camp somewhere along canal road by myself?
No dogs, women...worries, lol.
Just a dude, an EZ up, a cooler, a tent, a tool box and some tires, and a Banshee.
