Guess the Price

  • Having owned many motorcycles over the years, I have always thought that motorcycle owners, like Slingshot owners paying way too much for accessories. I was always amused that you could buy an American Tourister or Samsonite hard side luggage for hundreds of dollars less than a top box for a bike.

    The luggage pieces are much better made than than a Hondaline piece. I got tired of paying gold prices for tin parts, and always tried to find something that would serve at the purpose for far less. "Waterproof" form fitting luggage $600?!?!?!? Pack your stuff in a plastic garbage bag, stuff it into a cheap canvas duffel. $25. Chances are, the duffel bag will be thicker and have better zippers than the form fitting ones.

    It's like buying Army Surplus or Prada.

  • Coming out from WA, you'd probably want to go to Eureka Springs and save at least a day of travel each way. if time and mileage isn't an issue, Maggie Valley will probably have 5 times as many slingshots in attendance. Your choice if you want a huge event with lots of people or a smaller more intimate crowd so you can make new friends and rides with "like people" (as in people with similar riding styles and habits) MV has a lot of faster rides as well as "back road sightseeing rides.

    Nobody gets outta here ALIVE

  • So if I fly in, Maggie Valley takes a 2nd day? As in rental car from the closest airport? When I'm on rides it will be as a passenger so that is secondary to the human side. Thanks for your input!

    Just come and meet all.

    The wife and I flew in to Huntsville for the SOG homecoming and thoroughly enjoyed meeting the forum and other folks. This is reason 2 for buying the Slingshot in the first place. Reason 1 is hoonigan fun!
