I have just been informed that the Guinness Book of World Records Representative will be at SSITS. We are attempting to set a record for the most Polaris motorcycles in the same place at one time. In the spirit of accomplishing this goal Saturday has been designated as a “free day”. All Slings will be allowed to participate in the poker run, the Show & Shine, and the parade at no charge. There will be free decals and other possible goodies in the works. So if you want to be part of a World Record....let’s all show up to ensure our place in the record books !!!

speaking of...
Slingshots in the Rockies July 11 – 15, 2018 : Polaris Slingshot Roadsters Forums
Looks like the starting rate for SSITR is only $49
Me & @ivor will be there
-
OK - here are the facts as I know them - here is the fee schedule as posted on Slingshot Roadsters:
As you can see there is no charge for the locals or children under 12. As said previously most all fair ground events charge an entry fee AND parking on many. I have known @ivor for long enough now to consider him a friend. He has taken the time to explain to me the reasons for the additional fees. The amount of time and expense to put on an event as large as Maggie Valley has risen exponentially every year. Put simply - attempting to put on a bigger and more enjoyable event each year costs MONEY!! This year there will be live bands plus a drive in movie. Although it is against a city ordinance to drink in the fairgrounds Event Management will not be policing this if you choose to bring in adult beverages. I also do not believe that is is corporate greed that is behind this. @ivor has run very successful businesses for many years (his first was inventing the wheel ) and I dare say many of us would not even consider putting in as many hours required for the rate of return he has. I believe Scott and Ivor truly are driven to put on the best event possible for us, the riders keeping cost to a minimum for a fair profit. In closing I have a final thought - can any of us really say we haven’t paid more for and enjoyed much less other events than Slingshot in the Smokies ??? I for one cannot!! -
Like, not even walk onto the fairgrounds? Or are you talking driving the Sling in? Is this discussion playing out *again?*
I will double check but I am pretty sure there will be an admission charge to enter the fairgrounds if you are not registered
-
I thought that was wrapped by the same guy who Did @Bill Martins.
Not really intended for @MACAWS, but more for Bill and his wrap job.

Hello I am Bill Martin a recovering Attorney - but we all know you never really recover
Your not helping

Last time I drove thru Atlanta traffic I rear ended a BMW in bumper to bumper traffic - NO damage to either car but as you can guess the BMW was driven by a Lawyer who told me and the LEO that all was good and then sued me for injuries.My insurance agent just said that he knew how far to push where the insurance company would settle rather than fight.
Lawyers in BMW’s and Porsche = BAD
Lawyers in Ford’s and Slingshots are recovering -
I dunno, there can be some pretty bad times on the highway. Ever hit Atlanta at rush hour? Ask @Bill Martin.
Last time I went to @KayTwo s House thru Atlanta I thought I would NEVER get out of that freakin city - I’d drive 200 miles out of the way not to have to drive thru there again !! I just thought Houston had traffic
-
Just to set the record straight - Ivor no longer owns the rights to Maggie Valley, Eureka Springs and Vail. He has sold it to Scott with Slingshotonly. Ivor will still be coordinating the events for the next 2 years. Yes you can go to Maggie Valley without registering and secure your own hotel accommodations BUT you will not be allowed in the fairgrounds without admission fee.

Just hope our Kentucky people bring some more of that amazingly delicious moonshine!!!
Bringing plenty Swamp Juice just in case
-
It’s right there in plain English -
-
And german soft drinks
And who the hell else did you think would be in charge of the Schnapps????? If you want good milk you go straight to the cow right??
-
OK - we have a party every year in the gazebo behind Jonathan Creek Inn on the creek. Been really fun and becoming an annual event. I’m thinkin Thursday nite if this works for everyone. Will be good and LOTS of shine, schnapps, bourbon and cigars. Lot of us staying a Jonathan Creek so should be a good time. Looking forward to seeing everyone

@airoutlaw is dead on. You f&%$ed up by not calling @Bill Martin to come visit. Ask @Slingrazor.
I graduated top of my class in “Garage Bitch” - ask around - I have many references ...my reputation precedes me
-
Hmmm, not sure of the scientific difference between "fast" and "WAAAAAAAY" fast.... but I guess I'll figure it out! I'm new to this kinda riding, but I'm pretty fearless (to my own detriment), so I'll be looking to @j4henry and @DKF Texas to help me figure out what I can handle and can't handle... But if I see the person in front of me taking a turn at a certain speed, I'm damn sure gonna try to match em.
If you find yourself behind @FunCycle ..... think about it REAL HARD about that match thing

This may be the first time in history a porn star has been paid for something not coming out of her mouth instead of putting something in it.
-
Ok... ok... laugh it up!!
@Bill Martin ~> LET'S DO THIS!! I'll call you later today (REDEMPTION WILL BE OURS)!!!I’m with ya BUT!!!! this is a tough crowd - do the words “Group Buy” ring a bell
-
Bill, is there any chance you could get a group buy for us?
SURE!! Worked hard and got em down to $85.95 .... lemme know how many ya want
-
Bill I have one like that. Got it to blow out my computer every so often. Cheaper than air In a can. Now use it mostly on the Sling.
And who said coonasses weren’t smart ????

Leaf blower works but I found this little jewel several years back and can’t recommend it enough. Small - light weight one hand held - easy to get in small places ... definitely worth the cost
