Polaris Slingshot officialy banned from Ct united Ride!

    If you need to donate go look for a donation box and go out for a real ride and enjoy your slingshot for what it was meant for.
    Not a parade but real road riding down a twisty curvy road and smile every mile that you do not have to worry about
    going to slow or to fast or being to big to fit in.

    A reason many people get upset about not being included in a bike event is because we came to own a Slingshot after owning other motorcycles. These are events we attended or perhaps helped organize.

    Quote from Bigdog

    Even if it's classified as an autocycle. It still says part of it is considered a CYCLE or it wouldn't have it in the autocycle classification. We are a hybrid part car part cycle...but all fun..

    The problem with having a subcategory of autocycle is that there is no standardization. My state has a motorcycle subcategory of autocycle but the definition doesn't work for a slingshot. Until the Fed makes a new class for it manufacturing will be done as a motorcycle.

    Hey if we are outcast than so be it !!!!! But like most say we went from 2 wheels to 3 wheelers for reasons some do not want to admit to.
    Most are old geezers (yes me at 66) . I can not slow down on 2 wheelers and drive like a 20 yr old and fell down with wife 3 times in hairpin corners.
    So at Deadwood SD where we fell was First 3 wheel Rally of Deadwood 2014 and looked at wife and Henry from Alpha was there and talked to him and
    told him we fell yesterday in Needles on BMW and ask could I take it for ride. He looked at wife and I and said yes take it out.
    10 miles and looked at wife and said can not fall over , can roll ..LOL And 2 months later ordering one and Henry had
    a customer for life ,Turbo,wing,brakes,suspension and few other small items.


    I just went few weeks ago for my first Slingshot ride with 13 others through covered bridges of Pa..
    Enjoyed it but to much control for my taste and traffic and waiting and budding in to keep everyone together.
    Then 2 days later went back by myself and enjoyed the ride 100% more. Can stop take pictures when you want and
    stop and eat when you want.. That is my SS riding I prefer.. Each to their own.. but get out and ride !!!


    So I can bring my Can Am? Humm just cause I have a seat next to me I can't but if I have a seat behind me I can. Makes sense now.

    IMHO - if I was running a charity event I wouldn't give a damn if ya showed up with a horse & buggy ........ long as you didn't forget your wallet !!!

    I might not be right but I can sure sound like it

    I was in a charity ride on Saturday motorcycles in front Slingshots next then everything else last. All police escorted all over the Indianapolis area! Didn't seem to be a problem. Lots of motorcycles and I think 22 or 23 Slingshots!

    @Tony Z, they didn't mention Spyder, let alone the T-Rex. Or Stallion. The Harley trikes can't ride side by side. The Slingshot in my state is registered as an Autocycle. That is so they can add "seat belts must be worn" and "no motorcycle endorsement is needed". Other than that.... it is titled as a "Motorcycle", insured as a "Motorcycle". There is no "Autocycle" title or insurance in my state. I only say this, to make a point. The organizers were being a$$holes. Thing is, they missed out on money for the cause, because of egos. I have two Harleys in my garage still, so I feel I see both sides.


    But then again, who cares really? I just want to do what makes me happy and not hurt anyone. I did the #SavannahStrong ride on this last Saturday. Some accepted us, some not so much. But we contributed, likely a few thousand in cash. It's a benefit..... do you want our help and $$ or not?


    I donate many places. I even, with one of my friends help, put on a ride in Sept to help someone in need locally. But I usually avoid these kinds of rides that you talk about here. Too much politics, too much drama. There are too many causes I can donate to that are simple. I want to help, and they are thankful. Ones like this one can kiss... off. (censored version)

    And even discussing it here has us more hated...damned if you do and damned if you don't


    I still think it has to do with stealing the show...


    I generally steer clear of large crowds...it just ups the odds of running into an a-hole...

    In Illinois, along with a lot of other states, it is an autocycle. Most motorcycle laws still apply. I have a motorcycle plate, so I call it a bike. When I went to get my plate sticker this year they changed my registration card. It actually says Polaris LSV. Low Speed Vehicle? Are you serious? Obviously someone that made that decision has never ridden in one.


    As far as what happened in CT, if they don't want your money, give it to another charity that does.
