Polaris Slingshot officialy banned from Ct united Ride!

    The CT United Ride greatly appreciates everyone's support each year.
    Due to Law Enforcement, State permit and Local safety and insurance concerns we have to implement the following restrictions for the safety of all the riders in the motorcade to maintain a staggered motorcade.
    There have been issues with the large size of vehicles and conversely the lack of power of the smaller engines.
    Motorcycles Only - ALL Must be Highway Compliant / over 125 CC's
    We do not go on the Highway, But the need to close gaps requires engine strength that can safely and legally travel on the highway.
    NOT ALLOWED in the motorcade

    • 4 wheeled vehicles
    • Dune Buggy style vehicles
    • Slingshots
    • Vespa's
    • Scooters
    • Motorcycle Trailers

    ALLOWED in the motorcade

    • Trikes that have tandem seating and handlebars
    • Two wheeled motorcycle with a side car.

    None of those mentioned has a bigger motor than the SS. It will blow the doors off everything in the parade.. my insurance company classifies it as a performance bike because of the 2,384 CCs


    Maybe they mean the gap will be too big behind the SS that the others won't be able to close it Up...

    I like poetry, long walks on the beach and poking dead things with a stick.

    Someone needs to take these idiots for a ride in a Slingshot.

    Same category as Vespas and scooters..we've finall made the bigtime...

    valiant effort but not worth a night in jail... don't forget many bikers don't consider us one of them... so if some of the organizers are hardcore two wheelers it's a losing battle.
