Cuomo is a dirtbag, hands down no question about it. Media propped him up on a pedestal to offset Trump....

It's finally caught up to him and I'm glad to be profiting off it! $850 towards the quad kit fund - cha ching!

Lol... wtf is this? I've never seen political gambling.

Hey Funinthesun hope things are getting better and you're putting this all behind you! Hang in there.

Wow... yeah rolling to the outside of that mountain could've been a totally different landing. Sooooo... no twisties with cargo racks?

Not an area where I'd want to imagine a roll over. Looks very fortunate to have gotten by with a few broken ribs. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

I thank them both for their service!

All Things Slingshot Tow Dolly

I'm pretty sure all things slingshot is located in Canada.

Yeah I'm pretty sure we collect more than that daily from the humidity here.

We got caught in a couple downpours this past weekend. The seats, ostrich material included, were completely dry within minutes of getting through the storm.

I have the SS seats. Wife asked to upgrade after sitting in Bu11sh1t seats at the homecoming event. She hasn't asked for much on the sling and doesn't complain about my spending so when she said she wanted them I turned the designer over to her and had her make what she wanted. Wife wants to spend money on the sling who am I to argue?

Anyways, something to note that I didn't see mentioned as far as one of your issues. The seat bottoms velcro in. So if we're stopped somewhere the sun may be an issue we unlatch the seat bottoms and set them down in the floorboard out of the sun. When it's time to go we just attach them back real quick and they're cool to the cheeks.

TheWickedReaper DANG, I saw that sling there with those graphics but i didnt make the connection or I would have looked you up to say hello , Wendy's graphics were pretty nice too eh

Yeah same, I didn't realize you were there or I would've tried to find you and visit for a bit. Everything went so fast, I got there at 5 that morning to help unload and clean her sling. Spent the rest of the day helping with the tshirt stand. It all went by so fast didn't really get to conversate much. Some reason I thought you were stuck on the other side of the border.

I agree, that entire Slingshot from one end to the other was jaw dropping to see in person.

Gonna give this one a bump and keep it going. My apologies as it's been a lil hectic here lately and trying to catch up. Deadline got past me but I want to extend it out because I love the topic and really want to see some more entries. Will try to have mine up shortly.

Well... not today but this weekend, still trying to recover today. Up to Indy for SavannahStrong. Wonderful trip, little wet, but worth every rain drop to be able to be apart of such a wonderful group and show support that literally stretched further than the eye could see...

THE MAGIC BANK ACCOUNT

Imagine that you had won the following *PRIZE* in a contest:

Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400 in your private account for your use. However, this prize has Rules:

The set of Rules:

1. Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.

2. You may not simply transfer money into some other account.

3. You may only spend It.

4. Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400 for that day.

5. The bank can end the game without warning; at any time, it can say, "Game Over!" It can close the account, and you will not receive a new one.

What would you personally do?

You would buy anything and everything you wanted right? Not only for yourself, but for all the people you love and care for. Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself - right?

You would try to spend every penny, and use it all, because you knew it would be replenished in the morning, right?

ACTUALLY, THIS GAME IS REAL!

Shocked ??? Yes!!!

Each of us is already a winner of this *PRIZE*.

We just can't seem to see it.

The PRIZE is “TIME"

1. Each morning we awaken to Receive 86,400 seconds

As a gift of Life.

2. And when we go to sleep at Night, any remaining time

is Not credited to us.

3. What we haven't used up that Day is forever lost.

4. Yesterday is forever Gone.

5. Each morning the account is Refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time WITHOUT WARNING...

SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?

Those seconds are worth so much More than the same amount in dollars. Think about it and remember to Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than You think.

So take care of yourself, be Happy, love deeply and enjoy life!

Here's wishing you a wonderful And beautiful day.

Start spending....

Wife, Slingshot, or both?

All of the above. Any time you knocking the cobwebs off everyone is smiling

Let him know we are pulling for him!

Finally got a couple hours to clean everything up and get my shine on! Now to pack up tomorrow and get ready to head to Indiana for the weekend. First group ride me and the wife will be on since our new years day run 1/1/20... long overdue. She's beyond excited!

I appreciate that. I was rather fortunate. Seems like it was some kind of drywall mud. I didn't catch it until the next day but it was dry by then and started flaking off. Hit it with the hose for a bit and eventually got it all off. Went over the spots with some spray detailer and all seems well. Not gonna lie, pretty sure I couldn't breathe for a minute when I first saw it.
