If your 13 Edge has Sync 2 MFT, it ain't that bad. Should be an SD card inside the arm rest. Got the latest map card - A7 for my bride's 13 Fusion Hybrid (awesome car), for under $50 shipped. Whatever. I can't get out of a bar for under $50.
Not much of a difference, but I try to be attentive to my lovely wife. The updates seem to focus more on POI updates than road changes.

If you have the older Sync 1 MFT with CD loaded maps - like my '10 Fusion - (it also updates your nav software), you are pooched. The CD is burned and linked to your car only by Navteq after they get your System serial code. No map updates for you without the $150.

Kind of like the map updates for the Goldwing...You're at the mercy of the manufacturer and NAVTEQ. Which is why I'm looking seriously at a unit with CarPlay.

A little cool when I woke up. Temp was 26 and falling.

Opening up an old thread here.

Most small General Aviation aircraft use the heat off the exhaust for cabin heat and windshield defrost. Works well for Cessna, Piper and Beachcraft. I can see this as a workable idea for our Slings.

Nice response.

Oh, and there are a lot of guys here who went to the Sling when they were no longer able or comfortable to be on the bike anymore. Absolutely legit perspective.

So true. My Goldwing is going to a new owner next week. New to me SS next month.

This site is my “go to” for current information and good natured companionship. I love the lack of advertising and pop ups. Plus, the people here rock.

@mytoy, @Ross

Okay, got that totally awesome poster in a great frame so it’s protected on the sides & the entire front with anti-glare sheet. Looks much more professional now...

Love it! Looking forward to seeing it in a month or so.

Very interesting... But, probably outta my price range. . The range is impressive, especially for an electric.

Remember When ???????

Ahhh....Strawberry Hill, December 2, 1972. 2:36 PM. A mighty fine wine and responsible for a midnight swim on New Years Eve 1972 in Lake Huron.

Thanks for the info… much appreciated!

We’re SSITS rookies, we’re signed up for 003 and 010. When we signed up we had 2 rides in same day, Ivor put us on BRP to Asheville. What can ya tell us about that ride?

My wife has some vertigo issues, thinking it may be best for us to run Dragon on our own. Couple weeks ago I went on Google maps and mapped out a couple rides, after reading FunCycle’s post, leaning more towards doing our own thing instead of the SSITS planned group rides.

Also… what can ya tell us about Poker Run?

Thanks

Like you, this will be our first SSITS. Fortunately, we live on the other side of the mountain from Maggie Valley. I don’t think you can find a bad road in the Smokies.

The secret to enjoying the area is to ride your own ride. Yes, there are several places that vertigo could be an issue, these are the Great Smokey Mountains.

There are some spectacular views from some of the pull outs. Good news, vertigo isn’t a major issue on the Dragon. You are too busy looking for the turns. . I have ridden over it on my Vulcan, Mazda and truck. I love that road, I just don’t race over it. Lost me next door neighbors son on it last year.

Since you have the info you were looking for let me see if I can derail this thread.

For the folks that trailer their SS to SSITS, is it possible to park your truck and trailer in the fairground complex and just use your sling to commute to the hotel?

I would imagine that it wouldn't take long to fill up most hotel parking areas with a few trailers.

Asking for a friend. LOL

Cross Creek RV has an area for parking trailers for those of us staying in the park.

All of mine are Smith And Wesson M & P

That’s why mine is an SD-9. No safety to worry about.

Just caught your story. I cannot even imagine the pain you three are experiencing. Our prayers are with you.

OK... so have to see how this goes. ONLY took 5 months from ordering it to have it come in. Been what I've been waiting for to put my dash back together. Wish me luck! Hope to hell I didn't just piss away all this money.

Good luck. I’ll be watching.

Looks like Miss Nancy and I will be there. Will be staying at the RV camp.

I know I am a little bias (a lot), but this was one that got away from a lucky new owner. The amount of customization and performance modifications in this sling was a steal at 16,000. And yes, we are glad you didn't pursue it.

It was so, so tempting.

Well a decision has been made by the boss.
We will be keeping both the slings.

Well, ain’t ya glad I didn’t say yes?
