@BlackDeath - are you workin Maggie Valley again or stayin at Jonathan Creek ??? SHINE ANYONE ????
I am planning on working with / for someone. It has not been cemented but I am confident it will be with someone I like and respect 
I currently have a room reserved as usual at Jonathan Creek. I may or may not stay there depending on how things shake out. I am currently going solo but looking to fill bed #1, bed #2 or both
Shine is a prerequisite and required to be in the cool kids club 
I'll be cutting a set of these on Monday!
Awesome!! I can't wait to see it brother! I bet they will be popular!
I have had some customers ask @BlackDeath Aaron mostly about the "tiny" fenders? So, I think we will have a pair of "bobber" Fenders ready for Vegas and Kerrville in case anybody wants a set like that . I will do my best to post pics after Easter break.
Kind of like this was done, but with a better fit and not quite so little!
Yea baby that's what I am talking about! 
So does anyone know what happened? A link to it on another thread ?
That will not happen.Alpha Powersports regretfully is not included in our list of confirmed vendors.
WHAT?! What did I miss? @ivor did you piss him off? 
We are thinking about making the trip from PA and I am trying to get a couple of local guys with Slings to go down also but that still not confirmed.... Never been to Maggie Valley anyone have any tips on where is the best to stay etc.............Thanks............PJ
Hello PaulJ,
Honestly it's not where you stay but who you stay with 
So anywhere on the strip is good if you want to be close by. Some people stay a little further away, they want to be up higher on the mountain side for a nice view. Some people actually go camping with a tent, camper or log cabin. I have been going by myself and I do not really care so much about the room because I am just going to sleep there. The fun and excitement is at the Fairgrounds and going on group rides with your friends or the organized group rides. I would recommend for your first time to look at some of the group rides book say 2 or 3 rides and then figure out the rest with people you meet or on your own. When you go on an organized group ride it's more of a ride to a destination that might be half way or at the end of your ride. You will not be able to stop and take pictures on those rides. Smaller groups that are more personal might be nice to take where you can all map out places to stop and see the view and take pictures. Make sure you check out Slingshoroadsters to book the event and check out the information on the site. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask it here or somewhere else on the forums. Great group of people here and we are like a big family! Welcome aboard!

Hello @SaltyClownNY
I have a base model and the
stock size tires are
Front 205/50/17 I am using 222/45/17 28psi
Rear 265/35/18 275/35/18 28psi
For tires I am using Hankook Ventus12 evo2 and the fronts I have a little over 20k and should last me the rest of the summer easily. Even wear and performance has been tested at Deal's Gap and the Rattler in North Carolina and I drive very fast and hard and they performed well. The Rear lasts me about a season 6-8k miles and I don't do smoke shows but I do burn out here and there. I have been very happy with them as well as the tread pattern looks good being asymmetrical. I had no issues at all in the rain still driving fairly aggressive driving 80mph in a steady downpour and never hydroplaned. I was in a severe downpour and hit standing water of 3-4 inches and that caused me to hydroplane on the highway at around 60mph which I do not believe any tire would have reacted any better. Driving skill can compensate for a crappy tire. I find letting off the gas and controlling the hydroplane even tapping the brake lightly is always best over hitting the brakes hard and standing on them.
From doing tire reviews from websites and videos I have been looking at
Michelin Pilot Super Soft (about 2 years available)
Continental Extreme Contact Sport (newest version upgrade from DSW series, it seems to be edging out the Michelin Pilot Super Soft in tests)
Here is a chart from TireRack that might help, this is under the Max Performance for what is typically best for everyone. If you are not going to drive in any rain ever you can go with a higher performance dry tire than these in the Extreme Performance Category.
I am happy with the Hankook Ventus12 evo2's and if you look at the chart they show a good standing in the list and the price is cheaper than the other 2 I listed.
I am leaning toward trying the Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires based on all the reviews I have read and watched. Since they are new the reviews are not as plentiful as the Michelin Pilot Super Soft.
The Continental has a higher tread-wear rating than Michelin as well as the Hankook's
For suspension I have the Alpha/JRI 2 Way adjustables and the front has been lowered about 1/4"-3/4" I can not remember the exact at the moment it was changed 2 times.
I should be heading to Newport tomorrow a bunch of Slingshots are heading there. I will probably leave my house around noonish because I have some things to do before that.
So as some of you know I have been looking for a solid full time job and it's been a challenge. I work in the IT field and I am mechanically inclined with attention to detail. I also am moving out of my current living situation that has not been a positive experience for me. I have talked to some of you about relocating or if anyone knows anyone that is hiring. Trying to figure out what my next step is going to be. I am definitely going to do my best not to have to sell my Slingshot because that is one of the few things that makes me happy and puts a smile on my face.
If anyone wants to message me here or PM me feel free. I can have a conversation with you more in depth if you have any questions or send you my resume etc...
Thank you all in advance
Jesus, this is gonna be like watching Hillary and Trump campaign for 16 months before the election. Can't believe this is already a thing, 10 months out or whatever.
Damn right! Book a room now before they are all taken up. I am cornering the market booking 10 rooms and will sell high! lol 
Anxiously awaiting next years SSITS 2018 !!! I am registered and booked my room at the Jonathan Creek Inn to make sure I have a place to stay.
If anyone has a group setup to split a place like a cabin or condo I am up for that, reach out to me. I will just transfer the room to someone else or release it.
I had a good time this year with the new Fairgrounds event area and next year should go even Better! I wanted to spend more time with many of you but I was occupied unfortunately. 2018 I will make it up to as many of you as possible and enjoy myself as well
I am 90% I will be going.. Hope it all works out.
Heated seats are a blessing
I installed the PRP v2 with the heat and yes they are nice
The only advantage to being boosted is in the straightsA bone stock Sling could keep up in the corners - Just ask anyone who has run with @FunCycle or @Dogs or @BlackDeath
Well I have ran with multiple people with a turbo, supercharger and *cough* Tango in the Beast V8 and I have yet to find anyone I couldn't pull away from in the turns. I have JRI 2 ways and only this year at the Smokies I upgraded my swaybar, I still have the stock links, that allowed me to run softer and still have less body roll. I will run against anyone
@BONES You are selling your Slingshot?
Met @BlackDeath this past weekend in Newport, RI he was the only one that showed up for the ride from the Shell Station, really nice guy. Looking forward to meeting and riding with a bunch of other Slingers.

The weather looks good tomorrow. Anyone up for a ride?
Depends on where it is
@varanog78 I'll probably just ship the wheel.but when is the lake George ride I think I may be interested with me and the girl and i could probably get @Uglyrider954 and @BlackDeath to join. Well if @Uglyrider954s sling is done. You guys going to stay at the same hotel as host hotel last year and how many days ?
Damn kid let me get a girlfriend first before you go rubbing in you got her a Slingshot too! I would need to figure this out, I would love to go but need the dough..
