Memories of Slingshots in the Smokies 2016

  • @roadog1aj if I can make the trip, we'll meet up. If so, first beer and burger is on me my friend!!!! Plus I can inspect your Sling for smudges and dust particles......
    Deal! This I can hopefully make... Depends on Hockey season (Coach), but I am gunna try to clear time for this one.



    And for the record I will have California duster, spray wax and terry cloth on hand & ready to go :D

    Jay!! Who are you kidding?! These guys don't wanna hang with us! These guys are cool, they have a Wolfpack and matching t-shirts!! We aren't cool, we're room temperature at best!! And t-shirts? We have matching "pocket protectors"!! We're a pack of mice to their wolves! We are a PATHETIC group of SS owners, that can't even plan a ride with the 5 of us!! The coolest one we have is Matt ( Publius), hell, he showed up at the Libby's ride, took one look around, nodded, and said " I'm outta here!" They do fast rides down the Dragon, we couldn't get out of the parking lot at Libby's without a Police escort!! They talk about mods to improve speed and handling. We talk about dusters and wax!! I'm sure they pound shots of Jameson at the end of the ride, we sip Lattes, or an Appletini at best!! Hey, I'm just being a realist!! C'mon Jay, we live in CONNECTICUT for goodness sakes, how cool can we possibly be??!!
    However, I am going to SSITA, September 14-18th anyway. I hope Terry comes with me, cuz she's the coolest thing I have!! I'm sure I'll make some friends, because they'll all just feel sorry for my pathetic ass!!! My rim is scratched! Just sayin.

    Never trust a ConnMan!!
    (Man I love that line!)

    Jimmy, you're one of the cool guys. Who else has a low production numbered slingshot AND only rides it 4 months out of the year? ;););););)

    Nobody gets outta here ALIVE

  • Just putting this info out there. Not affiliated in any way, but I did make a few purchases.


    The saying goes, "Without pics, it didn't happen!"


    If you rode US 129, The Dragon, here are the links to the professional photographers that shoot on that famous stretch of road.


    129Slayer.com


    Moonshinephotos.com


    Killboy.com


    To find your photos, search by the date you survived it and the approximate time you were tearing it up.


    Found pics of my Sling and the group I rode with on all three of the sites above.

    Slingshot Flyer! Well, of course it's red... :REDSS:

  • Good lord did someone just call us cool??

    @ConnMan and @BONES , we are just a few friends that keep in touch. That itself is cool, but there is nothing that makes us cooler than anyone else. Our underwear may match because we all think alike. We haven't actually checked. :P You guys being our forum brothers makes you every bit as cool as we could be.


    Cam, it's funny how matching shirts made us "cool". I was worried they would swing us in the other direction. :thumbup:

    Thanks brother, I really appreciate that!! And please, I wouldn't want anyone thinking I was making a mockery of you guys, or anyone else. I'm not like that at all. However, everything I said in my post was true! Jay was there, he feels the same way!! We just can't seem to get out of our own way trying to get a ride going. I'm just poking fun at ourselves! All the guys I met from CT that are forum members, are truly great people! We just wish we could get it together. It's a big struggle to plan something, and when we do, the weather won't cooperate! So ya, we read about these great events, and we get green with envy! We want that, bad! But, we have our chance in September!! I'm so looking forward to that, and maybe meeting some of you. Can't wait to hear the stories about the cross country trek!! That trip will be EPIC!! I love all you guys, hope nobody took offense to it. I'm sorry if it came off that way.

    Never trust a ConnMan!!

  • I didn't take any offense and I don't belong to a pack, gaggle, pod, swarm, school, or any other grouping of life forms. I just thought it was pretty damn funny!!! Looking forward to meeting as many of you as I can!!!!

    Getting to hang with everyone and room with my good friend Painter. We may be getting older, but we ran with the big boys @Cameron Roberts @Tango @WOLF

  • That bastard offended me and dammit I want him banned !!! :D

    lol, If you put an "@" in front of "rabtech" you will summon a force :00007505: that can wipe his entire history away. It will be as if he never existed(on this forum). Though @ConnMan may stop helping you plan any events. It's your choice, but if I were you I'd let it slide. :00009428:


  • our dragon ride leaders hot looking turbo Slingshot, Scott alpha ( @xd675x ) and his lovely fun wife, who, when she said "saddle up! e brakes down!", she meant it.. her name escapes me....




    a resting stop along the way




    this apparently is the same dam Harrison Ford jumped from and survived, in the movie ' The Fugitive'...



    we did not nail anything to the statue.... thankfully.
