What color is the Power Band?
 
So I don't do facebook. I don't have anything against those that do, but it just isn't my thing. Posting my life for the world to see isn't exactly my idea of well... a good idea. (if that makes sense)

Anyway...

Every now and again I will sign in under my wife's account on facebook and browse the local classified pages in our area. I saw a post where a guy was selling his dirtbike and mentioned that it rides great and that you can really feel it when the power band kicks in. A guy commented on the post and said "what color is the power band? does is match the red on the bike?"

I had a mouthful of cocacola and almost spit it out on the screen from laughing. You can only imagine how bad the other people commenting on the post roasted him after that.

Hope you guys enjoyed that. Apparently the power bands these days are physical objects, and they need to be color matched to the dirtbikes.

haha.

A proper power band is red and painted around the cylinder. Those Facebook people are idiots! :biggrin2:

:ROTF2:

I've always had better luck with the blue power bands, I tried yellow once but it was to much, just threw me off the back.:biggrin2:

Haha. Yes sir!! It HAS to be around the cylinder. Anywhere else is just not acceptable. ahaha

I think the power band now comes in KEY styles. The Dodge Demon comes with 2 keys.(street & race) Mike:biggrin2:

Power bands come in 2 modes:
Oh $hit, and WTF? :biggrin2:

I.E.
that first ride on a 2 stroke mo'sikkil with a 'spansion chamber of old days.
twist the grip and say to yer self
"hey this is pretty quick, but I can master it"

Then the power band is reached, immediately followed by that loooong slide that never seems to end, resulting in various cuts/bruises and a shattered ego,
along with that familiar smell usually reserved for the porta potty @ a chilly cookoff :biggrin2:
