2018 SL - The Starting Point

May of 2020 with covid going and the restrictions going full bore, we had just sold our 5yr old to us, used boat for 2k more than we had paid for it originally. Having bought a new boat and finding out we wouldn't get it till November we were looking at buying a motorcycle again. I had a few different ones when we were first married and sold them all when our son was born 14 years back now. I was looking at trikes and sending some to the wife when she stumbled across this 2018 SL slingshot in Daytona yellow. It had 1850 miles on it and the previous owner was selling as unfortunately his wife was sick and not able to use like they had when they first got it.


15k later and I was driving it from Denver back to Colorado Springs and got caught in my first rain storm literally 10 miles or so from the prior owners house. Stopping at the mall to wait the worst of it out and then taking off I learned about how slick these can be in the rain, my first donut! Made it home in one piece and got to surprise the 14 year old when he got back from camping with the cousins. Couldn't believe we got a slingshot and had to go for a rdie!


I read the posts and reviews on these and knew while I got the sling for what I thought was a good price....the real expense to owning one hadn't even started yet!
