I picked up the slingshot last Friday. I have been pulled over twice, gotten asked at least twice how much mpg I get, a few times kids asked to see it and have had more conversations at lights in 7 days than at urinals in the last year. Oh and my check engine light came on today and I think I smell burning,,,
Got pulled over for not wearing a helmet crossing over from CT to NY. I live right over the border. We are a small town and there are never cops there but my neighbor killed his whole family and himself and I think they need to raise some funds for the investigation... (stuff like that never happens in my town). I don't have my motorcycle license yet either, just a permit so I got off easy with a warning about the helmets which were in the trunk or whatever those things are called.
I got stopped by a cop in CT. Asked me if I knew why. I had no clue. He said perhaps it was a figment of his imagination that I was on a cell phone. It was since it was my wife on the cell phone. He stuttered, ran my license and let me go. Not sure how that was legal. Maybe I should install a camera if I'm going to be a magnet?
Need to get an inspection. Was going to do so today as my temporary expires early next week. Except my check engine light came on. Maybe eighty miles later I smell burning. Couldn't tell if it was me or the car in front of me. Now I have to get that checked out.
I drove it through some rough neighborhoods. Everyone yells at you asking for a ride. Is my helmet bullet proof? Are there batmobile attachments for this? I've made a lot of new friends along the way. Not wanted friends. Lol.
