That is a great/hilarious observation @kenny_h.

Nice Rab, in Michigan we don't get that many digits. You are lucky.

Congratulations @Name Withheld . You will enjoy it a lot more without the bugs. Get yourself to SLingshots in the Smokies if you can. You can see, hear, touch any mod you're interested in. More importantly it is awesome to meet and ride with all your forum brothers and sisters.

Great picture @Painter . We are getting closer and closer. This trip has become my Christmas.

Welcome to the forum @Punisher !! I'll try my best to remember who you were before.

I just pulled those photos from the internet @Turbosling or @rabtech could probably answer definitively.

dead center

90ft tower repelling, you've been holding out! That would be sweet!!

I am willfully optimistic @MACAWS . I should have a recouped body, mind, wallet and vacation time stash by then.

My wife and I will be there for sure @StickerDick ! Sorry for my lack of participation lately. I have been very busy lately. March and April were crazy, it looks like May is a doozy also. After SSITS my life's pace should slow down, I think.

I would like to...but I have to redo a 11 yrs olds room...All new paint scheme and new furniture for my little girl. Grrrrrrr she is growing up to fast . Next month she turns 12 --- NO!!!!! I still have so many things to try to get done before SSITS. Running out of time...damn it. LOL

hmmm - White Hoses, Baker Wings, Alpha under carriage plate, Alpha reinforced hinges, - not to mention a few items I have not even gotten powder coated... ohhhhh boy - and a New trailer to be delivered and put in the cabinets, equipment, E-Track, etc. @MACAWS I need more pics of your trailer . Grrrrr I am out of time I think - LOL

That is an impressive "to do" list. I wish you luck and am looking forward to seeing all that sweetness at MV.

Here is my recipe...

1. Called @Noel Hughes
2. Drove to Cycle Springs
3. Picked up a bad ass set of seats!

Is that suede in the center? Looks good.

I'm very saddened by this news. I never met Jim, but enjoyed very much chatting with him on the Forums. He will be missed by those of us that haven't met him in person and more so by those that have. Pam I pray you have a speedy recovery. There is nothing I can say to ease your pain from Jim's passing. I just pray the pain is lessened by happy memories.

Get well very soon.

@WOLF I would bet when it comes to "smidges" you'de be the pro!

You got me again. It hurts, it hurts. Good stuff, you'll be at @Tripod 's level in no time.

@Cameron Roberts it took no time at all compared to this past weekend.

@Canoehead you are off just a smidge, I have a "massive" sensitivity to criticism you jerk! J/K

You

I'm sorry I couldn't reply earlier. I left Thursday on an epic, non-stop journey. I am home now from picking up @Tango 's V8 Sling in far reaches of Wisconsin on Friday night. @Cameron Roberts@Tango and myself then met my wife on Saturday afternoon in Ohio to grab my Sling that she brought down from Michigan. My wife headed home in our car that I parked in Ohio when I met the fellas on Thursday. I drove my Sling and they trailered Norms to @TheRock 's house in Virginia where he had my 500 mile service oil and filter waiting late on Saturday. We had some dogs and did some Sling maintenance. Sunday we all hit Summit Race Track for a great day of tracking our Slings (until Tango's beast hit the wall on the last session). I woke up Yesterday and it took me 11 hours to get home. I did put 1300 miles on my new Sling, it's not a newbie anymore.

So, to the point. I woke up this morning checked my mail and there was my "Major Award" in a manilla envelope I couldn't wait to open. I opened the box the speakers were in, took the speakers out to check them out and noticed shiny stuff and a "Three's Da Life" sticker. They threw in a license plate tuck kit!! Thank You Sooo much @kenny_h@Shack@rabtech and everyone else involved in Slingshotinfo.com. Sorry again that I wasn't able to comment earlier.

As @kenny_h found out for us last year, the stock tires actually do quite well in the twisties. I just went to track day with my new, stock, base Sling. I had no problems taking corners as fast as everyone out there. You do get more tire squaking on the really tight ones, but they hold.

And yes, I had Nitto 555 when I totalled mine. I would agree with many here, it doesn't matter what tires you have in wet conditions. It's a gamble. If you went through one heavy storm with your tire, it doesn't mean it will make it through the next one. That I know first hand.

I like those Conti. @Shack, I'm still trying to pick a tire.

Thanks Travis.

I was hoping somebody could give me the bolt install sequence and torque specs for putting my @Painter valve cover on my new Sling.
