  • Ideas on Fixing This?

    Don’t know for sure, but. I think that hood buttons might help prevent the vibration/flapping that leads to this. Just a thought.

    Bill Martin Will have to take a rain check for this year. Been in business 49 years and hoping this will be the last year of full time.

    Next year finish all jobs and sell or close business. Enjoy your party

    Finally got an overnight planned for Maggie. We will pull into Maggie on Thursday, staying at Johnathan Creek. May stay over Friday as well.

    OUR Slingshot has been well cared for. She’s got a little over 17,000 miles, gets regular checkups. And has sprouted new colors under the hood plus new eyes. 😁

  • Vietnam Draft

    I was in school in Houston in late ‘67 when the letter arrived at the house in El Paso. Greeting from the President...


    The local board decided I was 1/2 hour short of a deferment. I huddled down to the AF Recruiter and started the process.

  • Where Did You Take Your Slingshot Today?

    Went out yesterday and rode a couple of the Dogwood Trails in Knoxville. It is part of the Dogwood arts festival we have around here every spring. Several neighborhoods have a pink striped trail painted on the roadway thru the neighborhood. Follow the trail and admire the dogwoods and landscaping. Unfortunately, the dogwoods aren’t quite open, yet. Lots of redbuds and cherry blossoms, though. Will have to try it again later next week.

  • My cover max cover evaluation

    Your black cover is going to fade to gray. Had mine for the last three years. Still strong. The inside lining is starting to show some wear and has a tare on the flag poles. Bought a replacement a couple of months ago, but still using the old one.


    Caution: cats get curious and are known to crawl into the cockpit to sleep. 🤨. As me, just ask....

  • Slingshot cover

    My Sling has been under cover in my carport fir over a year now. Only got it out a few times last year. Pulled the CoverMax off last week, not a speck of rust on any chrome, anyplace. I wouldn’t have any other cover.

  • Mods and goodies you wouldn't do again

    Things I would not do again...


    Curb Warning. PITA for the install. Could not find a spot on the front of the sling where the sensor won’t get smacked by rocks or pot holes. I’ve knocked it off twice.


    Security System. Mine came with a complete security system. It was the same type I had on my Goldwing. And became just as problematic. On the Wing it succeeded in locking me out. I couldn’t have that on the Sling. Removed it. Feel much more comfortable going cross country, now.

    We live in Lenoir City. So, open to a ride afterward. Sunday on the Dragon will, probably, be pretty heavy traffic. Maybe head out on the Foothill for a leisurely ride.

    Yep, I don't go near the dragon on weekends, only during the week.

    Good. See you there on Sunday.
