@av8ingtom , my apologies for not acknowledging you in my post above for your fine efforts in making today happen also.
I am thrilled just to be a part of this great SlingShot community. I have been involved with other clubs, but none of them even come close to the SlingShot community. This is by far the greatest group of people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. KayTwo and @sideseatdriver hosted a fantastic get together to welcome home Chrystal. Thank you Chrystal for your service. It was a pleasure to meet you, your husband, and Bella. Your Father @Tripod is a great man and it was my pleasure to finally meet him and his father also. @Tripod your father is a trip. Got to meet @Slej and am glad he is doing better and on the road to recovery. Thank you @DarkSquid for all your efforts finding and assembling the little Slingshot, and so happy I got to meet you and your wife. Great to finally meet @adventure4me and @MACAWS and his wife. Great to see @V-SHOT and Velma today as well. I know I forgot a couple of people and I apologize in advance.

What a freakin' awesome day! What a freakin' FANTASTIC group of people! The brotherhood & sisterhood in this group is beyond belief! I just can't believe all the work that went into putting all of this together. Even people that couldn't attend the event contributed. I'm speechless & overwhelmed by the outpouring of support by our community. Words cannot adequately express my gratitude & that of my family also, for all that his been done by all of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you all from the bottom of my heart...

Last but not least - my apologies to all for my pitiful attempt at a burn out when I left. The bike was cold and fell on its face, made some noises even I haven't heard before when I hit the rev limiter.
Well, my son thought it was pretty cool, so you've got that going for you. Seriously, though, I think there's a thread on here about backfires happening fairly regularly when you drive it on the limiter like that.

What a fantastic day! Thanks @KayTwo and @sideseatdriver for hosting this great gathering - along with @V-SHOT and @av8ingtom! @Tripod, a thrill to meet you and your family! Yes, Tripod is a quick wit without the computer! I wish everyone could have seen Bella's reaction to the mini SS - priceless. Just so nice to be with this great bunch. @Slej and @Smoochie, glad you could come by for a bit - looking forward to the healing process to be complete. So good to see everyone and meet new friends. Now on to Florida!

@Tripod. So glad I got to meet you and your wonderful family yesterday. Your dad is a fantastic man. Glad you were able to take your dad for a ride in @V-SHOT Sling. We all had a fantastic time welcoming Chrystal home. And the Slingshot for Bella and the expression on her face are worth a million dollars. Safe travels back to Illinois on Tuesday, and hope we can get together again soon.

My Dad had a great time & really enjoyed himself (& all the great food & people! )
He told me this morning that he had never met a group of people with such amazing camaraderie & love not only for their passion, the Slingshot, but for each other. He was blown away & felt comfortable with & accepted by everyone.
Thanks to everyone for just being your awesome selves!
I know he was having fun going around to everyone saying, "I want to give you my card".

Your dad gave me one of his cards. Loved it. Keeping your dads card in my Sling glove box.

I just can't believe all you non-hackers are making me carry all this booze back inside. Hardly put a dent in it.
