Prepping for track Day. @TheRock hard at work while the rest of us gave only somewhat useful advice.
To Be fair, @WOLF had just emerged from his excellent job of installing @Jdin heat shield kit.
My JOB - making sure the beer didn't get warm. Much harder than it sounds! I had to do taste tests from multiple 12oz samples.
Full face is a problem for me. Hopefully, someone will bring an extra in case they are serious, which I doubt. 3/4 worked just fine last year. Dharma dude got by with a 1/2.
Full face makes me claustrophobic, which makes me go ape-shit, which makes me want to kill somebody. Let's hope for the best.
See you at the track!
Got you covered for the full face helmet. I'll bring the one you used last year.
You do realize you are modding the wrong thing!
We will miss you!
See ya at Track Day
Now you really have me thinking..Damn it!
x2, I could make a joke about voting twice, but I'll save it for the POLITICS SUCKS thread.
Oh, poo! Track day it is, then. I will be grouchy at you if you don't post there.
A supercharger for the tub will be fun for a few days, then it will blow out the bottom end of your tub. Back to a leak and a re-model job. Think thrice before you sign a check.
Do tell your friend from Florida that I don't like him.
LOL, the bottom end of the tub is not the bottom end I'd be worried about after the supercharger mod!
Done, I did have a flashback to my college days.
Walking down the street with one sneaker on, cop says "Lose a shoe, hippie?"
"Nope, found one!"
I wish I could be there tomorrow, the weather should be great. I had planned on attending, but what started as a leak in my bathroom, soon turned into a total remodel job. I ended up tearing out everything. I did add a jacuzzi tub, which is adding even more time to the "mod". I have a friend visiting from Florida helping (actually, he's the brains and I'm hauling tile). He'll be here a few more days and I don't feel right leaving him to do the work while I play. I did suggest we both go, but the timing just doesn't work out. I'll be there in spirit. I can't wait for Track Day!! Good times and great friends!
As I write this, my mind is thinking what a supercharger could do for the tub. It's a sickness!
Aaack, cough, cough, phooie.
Period red? No. Never. Some sort of Hell's Angels initiation to be a red wing. Nasty, and messy, and even the ladies have nothing good to say for it. Never period red.
Nothing as cool as gray. Well, I'm pretty cool too, but dang, a gray sling or anything sling related, is sublime.
I was contemplating red. But after reading this, I'll go with gray for those slow flow days.
Just a FYI, Coleman's in Falls Church picked up, and delivered my ride (no charge) for the recall.
I just saw the thread. I'm in Columbia, let me know if I can help out in any way.
Believe me, I totally understand the reluctance to travel to Maryland, and don't get me started about DC! I'm sure there are back roads here in Maryland as nice as those in Virginia, but I've yet to find more than a few in my area (locals please prove me wrong). I had a great conversation with @ethermion yesterday, and I thank him for his post. However, given that @Gadgeteer and I are still at the northern fringe of our ever-expanding group, I think it would take a special event like a Booze and Blues (thanks again @MACAWS for all your hard work, I'm hoping to make Slingshots Uncorked) to lure the Crew to the higher latitudes. While some may feel unwelcomed in Maryland, they are always welcome to ride with me. Brothers always!

NOT!
I'd like to see a front fender kit similar to the one on the SSV Works Slingshot!
!
Or maybe remove the original fenders completely and just cover the wheels Lotus style...
I know someone was modding something like this on TDS, but I don't think I ever saw the completed project.
I like the hoodie idea. It will look good over the t shirt!
to the whole SlingShot community, and especially the DMV Wrecking Crew. May you all spend this holiday season with love, peace and joy!
It's hard to to believe it's been 2 years already!
@Andy Hatch, Doug hooked me up with one of those sweep fenders, sweet! He's even going to reinstall it after the swing arm replacement. I'd do it myself, but it's a good reason to stop by their shop. Those guys at Metricks are the best!
I found some footage from the video Discovery made while we were at Summit Point. If you look very closely, you might see a SlingShot!

Ok, how do you insert a youtube video? I tried [youtube]y8kLAdpQ6W[/youtube] and [yt]y8kLAdpQ6W[/yt]
Perfect timing, I just ordered DDM's adjustable sway bar on the last day of their sale and was thinking, "Do I really need that?". Can't wait to hit the track again. Thanks @TheRock for organizing what I"m sure will be a great day! I never did see that Discovery show they were filming next to us last time.
