So, a guy left the shop I work at and upon seeing one of my 3 wheelers I been working on, proceeded to tell me all about the 350 Big Red he had back in the day. Imagine my peaked interest when he then told me how much faster it was than my piddly little 200ES because of the powerband he had installed in 5th gear at the dealership.

This got me thinking. I have a BOX full of NOS powerbands in the shed. Some for 350 Big Red's and even some for a 250M & 250S models. Sadly, I only have powerbands for 1st thru 4th gear up for sale. I'm keeping all my 5th gear powerbands for OBVIOUS reasons. Duh!

I'm wide open to trade offers or just plain ole cash.

Maybe he was from Murfreesboro. You know how they are down that way.

I thought power bands were when the leftover members from has-been bans from the 70's and 80's got together and formed a new band to try to revive their careers :wondering

Well, nobody’s made a single offer on some brand new in the wrap powerbands so thanks for nothing.

I'll trade you a well-ridden 1987 ATC375R for some.

Recoil assembly needs work but the valves don't make any noise and the fuel injection works great. Needs a brake clutch too and the tires could use a few new knobbies in a couple of places but outside of that, it's well worth the $14 in food stamps that I traded for it.

I think AC/DC is the best power band of all time. Every time I get dozy on a road trip I just queue up the boys from down under and I'm fist pumping and driving 85mph within 30 seconds.

That is all.

I feel like I’m in an episode of MST3K. Obscure reference jokes only 3 people east of the Mississippi River understand.

I woulda bought some powerbands if he would have given away some headlight fluid with 'em. Winter fluid of course! ;)


MST3K is awesome!:lol:

My buddies and I have been sitting around mocking movies for decades. Wish i woulda known we coulda made money off it!:(:wondering

Some old movies, some up in the 80’s.
All complete turd films and they are GREAT!!!!

Joke references are just as obscure but updated. You won’t be disappointed.

How many of you guys knew what a "power band" was by the age of 15 y.o.??

Fortunately, I red Dirt Rider every day for years as a teenage paper boy, fun times!! :lol:
