Oh Gerald, I do remember that one. Sure glad YOU too got out of it with only the injury to the wallet. Mine was $29,8XX in the repair estimate so Allstate declared it a total loss. Damage estimate of 80% or more of book value kicks it into the total loss category. With results like this, I'll never complain of $400 annual insurance premiums ever again.
What was today's Sling project-Mods , goodies....?

You do remember that the little off road parts replacement for me was $5,500
FunCycle I'm glad I did not go quite that far off the Rattler when in Maggie this Spring. Tow Truck and front end alignment and good to go... Just was real lucky.

Yes Bill a BIG thank you for the unit you sent out. Listened to the people that knew how to get it back on the street. I still don't want to see pictures of the Slingshot sitting where it was... Snap shot in my mind is enough.

Some luck, some driving skills, some good company and a skilled wrench all came together! All's well that ends well!

This happened in 8-2017 for me, yes I was very lucky. Has anyone else done a flat 180 degree in the air.

No, but does a 180 through the mud come close?

I don’t have a pic but saw one - EjFord looked death in the face that day and said not today MF’er … a foot or two more and it was a LONG way down the mountain - so close the woman riding with him (surprise surprise) could not get out on her side or she would have fell down the mountain !!
Bill your telling everyone I had a woman in my Slingshot....Who would believe that?

I'm glad I came out of the experience and am able to smile/laugh a little today as we talk about the fun day on the Rattler.

The Rattler got Summer Breeze in 2021 also. But he managed to drive back on the highway with minor damage and no injuries.

After living in Maggie Valley for a while now talking to the locals - without a doubt the Rattler is the most dangerous ride around here. Be it fallen rock, potholes, or blind curves you definitely have to be on your game when ridin that piece of road !!
