When another country attacks you and starts a war the only proper response is to fight back with everything you have and pound them into submission until they surrender and release all POW's - this is what happened to Germany and especially Japan with WW2 and its exactly what should happen to Hamas for starting a war with Israel - - - the U.S. did not end ww2 by backing off and kissing Japans ass and Israel should not kapitulate to Hamas - if Hamas didnt want innocent people put in danger they should not have started a war - as much as it sucks this is the cost of war. and anyone who thinks its Israels job to back off and be nice clearly does not know the history of how wars are ended and peace maintained - if you take away the horrible cost of starting wars then no one has any reason not to do it again.

dont think there is anything special about the batteries used in the slingshot - I suspect any high quality battery of the correct size should work just fine. my 2016 came with the smaller motorcycle battery and I replaced it last year just because I figured it was 6+ years old and due - went on this site and ordered a Duracell - - like you I have not added any electronics so have never seen any point in changing from stock size

if influencing elections were not allowed there would be no campaigning, no commercials or other advertising - nothing. we would simply be told the choices and we would vote. The simple act of campaigning is in and of itself an attempt to influence the voters and impact the outcome of the election. - - heck even sticking a Trump or Biden sign in your front yard is an attempt to influence others.

If you have 'Grandkids' that NOT going to happen... Your wife won't let it.
actually its my wife's idea and with the money we save you can bet we will be flying the grand kids out for regular visits or flying back for visits.. But even if it doesnt happen right now I still love that we always have the option of escape if we choose.
plus with our number one granddaughter already 22 and number 2 18 we dont even have to bring their parents when they visit

Its funny, I just looked back through all my pictures of my slingshot and I can only find one of the top - it was from a slingshot event we went to locally, only drive we ever took with the top installed - April of 2019, came home took it off and took it apart and stored - literally one weekend ride is all it lasted. Here is my wife standing next to the sling with the top in the open position.
and this is my slingshot now - no top and double bubble windshields - love the extra air flow - especially when its 110 degrees or hotter
when it comes to mods I think I've taken more things off my slingshot than things i've added - note no fenders
-
120,000+ miles of smiles and still DON'T a top.
yep, over 7 years now, I did briefly try a top but took it back off and its never gone back on, heck I even ditched the stock windshield and switched to the Polaris double bubble windshilds - living here in the desert with temps what they are I want all the airflow I can get and with the stock windshield and that top it was like sitting in an oven every time I stopped at a light - just about killed me

Display MoreHummm so I guess we can expect to see all of the toll roads in California disappears as well. And all the revenue that goes along with it all for the good of the people - correct??
Not everyone can afford a fast track!
And let’s just get away from using airplanes altogether. Not everybody can afford an airplane ticket. I say the legislators all get on the bus.
And that line skipping pass you get at Disneyland with extra money - that needs to go too!!
Comiefornia!!
What say you Edward Neal ??not a service I am personally familiar with. When we fly out of LAX, its almost always the international terminal and we just get in the lines like everyone else - - on the other hand I do have fast track stickers on all of our vehicles including my slingshot, but it they got rid of it tomorrow it wouldn't really faze me much - - most of the places I drive/ride dont have it anyway
so "what say I" - - - not something worth worrying about - - things in this country are so screwed up my wife and I are very seriously considering selling our house here in Palm Springs and moving to the Philippines and building a little place on a beach and maximizing my retirement savings.
Seriously, with what we have set aside for our retirement years we can life like royalty over there

my favorite source of information on the various knife steels is this:
and one of the reasons for my most recent purchase of this - Spyderco Paramilitary 2 - is the CPM S90V blade - - - should hold an edge better than just about any other knife I own and if/when it needs sharpening I will probably send it in to Spyderco
Edit - the guy who runs the site linked above is actually the person who invented the formula for MagnaCut Steel so he knows his knife steel

I passed a lot of bikes yesterday on the way home with my new Sling. It never crossed my mind to wave at them and none waved at me either. There was a kid riding a bike that almost wrecked on the sidewalk waving like crazy at me lol. When I had my Can-Am, it was rare for an HD rider to wave...even the ones I used to ride with when I had an HD. I'd wave and move on. I'm a Jeeper as well so the wave seems like I'm always waving at someone.
frankly I dont really worry if they wave back at me - - my trying to be friendly with others is not dependent on it being returned

I must admit I can't believe the antisemitism I am watching grow in this country.
The horror stories of Nazi Germany that I was told about growing up. and now I see that same kind of hate taking root here in a country where I always thought such a thing would be impossible.
And it seems to be being led by members of the Democrat party. The Democrat party has always been the party of division taking its power by dividing us against each other, but this is going too far and needs to stopped now today before its too late and anyone in our government who thinks this is okay - should have no place in our government - period!
Columbia Rabbi tells jewish students to leave campus immediately - its no longer safe

70 degrees here at 5 am - - they say it might be our first 100 degree day of the season - - - wont be long before days that only get up too 100 degrees are the exception and seem cool - - summer in the desert - - - - its coming

Proud owner of a new 2023 Slingshot R effective today. 2 hour drive home from dealership was AWESOME! Having trouble posting a pic due to “file extension is invalid” error. It coming from my iPhone with a .HEIC extension,
yep, one of the first things I did with my I phone back when they started using their own HEIC format was to turn it off - I see absolutely zero advantage to using it and the incompatibility issues are a pain - how to turn off iPhone HEIC
the HEIC format might be a bit more efficient and save a little storage space, but I never found it worth all of the problems with compatibility that it causes - like not being able to post pictures here
now turn it off and get out there and get us a picture

I’m sure OUR veterans got a big chunk of that… right??🤯🤬
So when do THEY (us) run out of money?? Asking for my great grandchildren….https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/us-national-debt-tracker

Display MoreUsing that logic, nothing in the article mentions him not being .......
Reading the actual bill proposal it states "any protectee". I wonder if Benny understands that would also apply to Hunter.
........
.
pretty sure old Biden fully plans of a full Presidential pardon for Hunter before he leaves office - - would bet money on it!

Simple fact - - for most of or lives we have been told by our government that when we see a Russian leader have their political opposition jailed that this was something that could never happen in America - - never once were we ever told the person being thrown in jail by Kim or Putin might actually be guilty - - NO! we have always been told that this was bad and wrong and only something done by evil dictators
And here we are with courts and the threat of prison now being the number one tool of the Democrats to deal with their political opposition.
So we only have 2 options
1 - we have now sunken to the same evil politics of Russia and North Korea
or
2 - we were lied to and both Russia and North Korea are justified when they do these things
cant have it both ways, cant say its evil and bad when others do it but its okay when we do it - - - its either okay or its not -
-
and that’s how conspiracy theories start. Nothing in the article mentions anything about Trump being assassinated.
simple fact - removing his protection puts him at greater risk, then throwing him in a prison where he can be attacked - - - right out ou North Koreas play book as to what to do with political opposition
-
so if by some miracle they actually get a conviction that wont be enough - now the left wants to get Trump assassinated
assholes! - https://www.foxnews.com/politi…rotection-trump-convicted
yep - the new American idea of democracy - put your political opposition in prison where you can then have them killed - - - sounds more like Russia or North Korea to me
and as they are doing this they tell us we should be afraid of Trump because they say he wants to be a dictator

Depending on how your shocks are set, it could be different. Most are in the 5" range, but check to see if it's level.
Actually, check your frame first before checking the tube. The tube is mounted to the frame and can be moved around to make the front align with the hood.
yes this - back when I first got my slingshot I thought I had bent the tube somehow, but I later discovered it had just been knocked out of alignment - by loosening the 4 mounting screws it was easy to line back up and make it look good - seriously I think the tube is much harder to bend that it looks

I been ridin a LONG time and always believed it didn’t matter what you rode — having the wind in your face was the common thread that bonded us together. I know back in the day a lot of Harley riders were kinda snobbish and the newer ones even worse. I try to wave at every 2 wheel rider I come across - it seems that when I wave at bikes they wave back way less than they used to - so I’ll keep waving and if they don’t - screw em - that’s on them !!
yep, I even wave at pedestrians at intersections if they look my way - - - one of the things I love about being out in my Sling is that it puts me out there among everyone else around me - - gives me an opportunity to try to live with love toward everyone around me gives me a chance to try to live the way I truly believe my God wants us all to live.
