That's the funniest weather app I've seen. I'm waiting on fed ex but I hope he doesn't show till midnight.

Here is my leftover from the Ducati but I will leave it on the ss for now.

Yep....happened to us as well. Definitely an "OH SHIT!!!!" moment!!
The air flow across the hood creates enough lift that around 45-50 mph the hood will be raised and block your line of sight. Now, every time I close the hood I also push down on the hood, over the area of each hood latch. Simply letting the hood drop from a good height is not always enough to ensure all the latches engaged every time!!!I've definitely learned from that and also never trust someone when they give you the keys and say here you go its ready to go.

Talk about scared $hitless try a test ride for the first time. Dealer didn't shut the hood good. I didn't buy the "slower gray" one I got the superfast red.

Well I did it,I took on another project I didn't have any business taking on... Since we are putting faces with screen names that's me on the right. I am the proud new owner of this '53 Sunbeam Talbot 90 MK IIA DHC.
Very nice (yes the car)

Here is my first run
Wow that was much fun for me I couldn't imagine what a blast it was for you. Awesome video not ruined by talking like most people who post on YouTube.

He is having a catastrophic failure understanding that the people on this forum have no use of him or his B.S. answers or whatever he would like to call them.
Amen and perfectly said.

@Bigdog, I highly suspect that you have a screw loose...
I hope someone takes his SS away from him. He always has "a problem" but I suspect he's the problem.

Did you order the Hub Adapter? PM us your order number and we can see what we can do for you!
I ordered the hub adapter and the bolts and a ton of other stuff. I'm ok as it's only a couple dollars but I'm happy that I've found a place to customize my ss. Your workers are super and I like the videos as well.

Very close to my job (Tampa airport) if I'm correctly thinking.

A good place to meet Florida riders is the Facebook group Florida Slingshot Cruisers if you have not joined them yet.
Ok thanks but I'm not unfortunate enough to have a Facebook account.

I dropped a note in a different thread to say hi ... noticed that more people seem to use these regional boards to drop a hello shout out to the rest, so, here I am!
Lutz (Hillsborough County) FL newbie checking in. I've seen a few other Slings on the roads in my area ... but, haven't had a chance to catch up with anyone in person.
I'm down south in Pinellas Park. Had my ss for about 2 weeks now. Let's ride.

Thanks @rnj12, I just flew into Miami on AA an hour ago on my way home to WA. I was blocked from this site for a week or so. I didn't buy the Sling on this thread but bought one in Minneapolis instead. I have a plan in place to get it delivered next week. I sure appreciate the offer though. Happy trails!
Flying and riding are my two favorite past times. I've done dumb $hit (to others) as far as cheap flights. Taken a date to Chicago for popcorn, Las Vegas for dinner, and even Honolulu for a Luau but then again I was married to her. I flew to Dallas for exhaust pipes for my Ducati and loved every second of it. Sorry I couldn't help but I will be around for a while.

Welcome to the forum @Haste Maker. You can use the search feature to find issues like these. Also there is one thread called catastrophic brake failure but I am not sure if it is for helicopters or slingshots.
You mean they are not the same thing?

I ordered #1 today. If it doesn't fit the Slingshot then I will try it on the ole helicopter.

Inside the CVS I found the Benadryl easily, and didn’t bother to wait until I had paid for it. I just opened it up right there in the aisle and started swigging. I had wondered as I was opening the box if I would be able to swallow with my tongue swelling like it was, but I needn’t have worried. I could swallow just fine and I could even taste the cherry flavor of the medicine, although it felt like those cherries were on fire.
“Hey!” I heard a loud male voice yell from behind me. I turned and saw a CVS guy heading straight for me. I held up my hand in a “stop” gesture and was about to explain that I intended to pay for the Benadryl when he said “What the hell did you say to Cheryl”?!?
I was thoroughly confused. “Whaa? Who?”
He pointed behind him and standing at the end of the aisle was Cheryl, the ridiculously pretty girl, with a look on her face that was about 20 miles past pissed off. “Did you tell her to sit on your tongue!?! That’s my brother’s girlfriend! You don’t speak to her like that!”
“Whaa?” I said. “”Thit on my tongue?” Then it occurred to me what had happened. She had misunderstood me due to the swelling. I burst out laughing, which was an amazing thing considering how much pain I was in.
“Oh, you think this is funny? I ought to kick the shit out of you, you asshole!”
I held up my hand in a “stop” gesture again and said “wait, thath not…. AHAHAHAHA….” I was laughing too hard to try to talk, and even if I weren’t laughing, I still probably couldn’t speak well enough to explain. I sounded like I was about 15 marshmallows ahead of my competition in a game of Chubby Bunny. That thought just made me laugh all-the-harder. I actually said “Chubby Bunny” to see what it would sound like. I was bent over, holding my stomach, bellowing out laughter now. I had tears in my eyes and I needed to pee.
“What the hell is WRONG with you, man?!” the CVS guy asked with a look on his face that actually bordered on concern.
After a minute I got control of myself. I held up an index finger [wait gesture], I pointed to my mouth and then did a small, palm-out wave with my hand [I can’t speak gesture], then I held out my left palm and made a writing motion on it with my right hand. I wanted to find a pen and pad, but then it occurred to me that I didn’t need to write. I had my phone in my pocket, so I could type. I showed the guy my phone and then started to type.
“Didn’t say ‘sit on my tongue’. I said ‘stung on my tongue’. Yellowjacket stung me. Can’t speak!”
I showed him the Samsung Galaxy S8+ and suddenly he was the one laughing. I looked up towards the end of the aisle and the look on Cheryl’s face had gone from anger to anger with a big dose of confusion. She started walking towards us, evidently curious to know what I had typed that would cause her boyfriend’s brother to betray her like this. That got me going again, so now the CVS guy and I were both looking at Cheryl and laughing. She did not seem pleased by this new development.
“Cheryl, you idiot!” the CVS guy said through his laughter. Cheryl had reached us and snatched the phone out of the CVS guy’s hand. Her face went blank as she read what I’d written. “Oh my GOD! I’m SOOO sorry!” she said. She rushed over and hugged me. “I’m so sorry” she said again. Then we were all three laughing.
After a minute, Cheryl’s mothering instinct apparently kicked in because she looked at me and said “wait, wait, let me see your tongue”. I opened my mouth and tried to stick out my tongue, but it didn’t seem to want to cooperate. I couldn’t move it around or manipulate it like I normally could. “OH MY GOD!” Cheryl screamed. “Oh. Oh. Oh!” She grabbed my hand “what do you have? Lemme see!” she asked, and upon seeing the Benadryl she shoved it towards my face. “Yes. Drink more. You need more!”
I drank more.
After a while I was finally able to convince Cheryl and Mark (the CVS guy) that I was going to be ok. It seemed that the swelling had subsided a little, or at least it stopped getting worse. I could still breath fine because it was only the front two thirds of my tongue that was swollen. Mark gave me the Benadryl for free as an apology for the misunderstanding and I left the CVS and went over to the McDonalds. I wanted to sit for a while and make sure that the Benadryl wouldn’t affect me to the point that I couldn’t drive. (I didn’t want to explain what happened again, so I just typed out “dental work – can’t speak. Large drink please” on my phone and showed it to the McDonalds girl.) I had already eaten a short time before this drama began so I just got a large tea with lots of ice, and I held the ice in my mouth as long as I could to try to help the swelling.
About 45 minutes later I was convinced that I would be fine. I climbed back into the Slingshot and continued my drive home. I was in pain the ENTIRE way, and for much of the evening.
So, if you are driving your Slingshot and feel the need to yawn, COVER your mouth!
You have great (and long) stories. Makes me glad my wife told me to read more.
