With winter setting in and the temp dropping dark at 530 pm, how do you deal with it? I have been told that during this time of the year my whole demeanor changes and its like I slip into depression mode, I seem to snap out of it about mid February (International Motorcycle Show) and by March I am back riding and life is good again.
HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH IT?

May I suggest that you move away from Chicago? Here in SW Oregon we get a lil more wet in the winter, but we can still ride all year. I am heading to work this morning where the temps are in the mid 20s, but when I head home this afternoon they will be in the high 60s, low 70s!

Sounds like the perfect time of the year to work on your sling!!
Might I suggest a few upgrades??

Now there's some chicken soup for the Slingshot owner!

I get out the insulated bib overalls, winter jacket, Carhartt gloves, balaclava, and full face helmet and KEEP RIDING!

One of the reasons why I choose to live in the So California desert is so I dont have to deal with cold wet weather that most other places have - - I can't do anything about the shorter days, but at least with our average of 350 days of sunshine per year and average high temps in the 70's even in our coldest months of December & January I don't have to deal with the depression that some seem to fall into when it is cold & dark
There is great deal about my State that I dont care for - the weather and geography more than make up for those things

Lets talk end of season care- Getting the dust of before you cover!
Give the Sling a wash and wrap it up with these:
Purity- cleans and protects with strong UV blockers. This works on plastics, vinyl, carpet and leather.
Slick- Quick detailer, just spray it on and wipe it off! This product does not streak when applying in the sun and won't spot when it rains! (also cleans glass, metal vinyl, and rubber trim)
Nero- Bring the luster back to all of the black plastics! UV protectant helps from the suns damaging rays!

I have enough to do right now just changing mods from one Sling to the other. I might even run out of time just for the stuff for track day.

Put away the summer toys and pull out the winter ones, rzr 1000 turbo and ski doo backcountry prevent any depression from setting in.

Now that's the spirit!!

If you're retired, get a cheap place in Florida for the winter like a zillion other people do. Bring Sling!

I can only take 2 or 3 weeks of hanging around ALL those OLD people(17 Jan 1944). Little end of Jan -- first of Feb and I'm ready to get back to work.

NO WORK! But I have enjoyed retirement for the past 13 years. Even more so since Feb. 12 2015 when I picked up my SlingShot. The only so called work that I do is to take care of my yard and install mods on the Slingshot. I did try to help my son out for a while on electronic (HOME) installs but he wanted to work 6 days a week with no pay. I told he if I had wanted to do that I would have stayed at work making $29 an hour. SO I QUIT.

Greg your one of the 'young at heart' guys..... I will let you know when we are on the way down. We will be in Port Charlotte again this year....about 15 days. May ride down to Key West (3 day round trip). At this point I believe the Harvey and Diana are coming down.
