WOLF prayers your way.

I knew exactly to what you were referring, EJ!
Bill
Couple of years ago several of us meet up for lunch in Moonshine, IL
https://www.moonshineillinois.com Couple from Northern and several from Southern Illinois --- about 3 hour trip one way for all of us for a hamburger....so some of drive just a little way for fun of the drive. I think the "town" has three building. Great fun with some good Slingshot friends. -
I put in Astoria, OR as a destination from La Porte, IN.... To get the miles. My home area to meet up with the group.... Just chatting a little with Bill.
-
EJ, you smokin' already? Or drinking? Google Maps shows Astoria to North Bend as 228 miles, 5 hours and 1 minute. Bandon would add another 20 miles or so. You didn't plug in SOUTH Bend (Indiana) by accident?
I live in La Porte, IN just south of Lake Michigan and 25 miles west of South Bend, IN so yes my numbers are close..... Did get out today for a little ride. about 48°

Was on my way home from Shaw's around 2:30 today (Sunday Apr 5th) and passed another red/black Slingshot. I think there were two of you in it, followed by a guy on a motorcycle. Was right next to the Irving in the center of town, in Newport NH, I had just turned left and saw you. We waved at each other. Anyone?

Glenn, Welcome to the "World of Slingshot Insanity" You got questions --- we got answers --- they probably wont match but we will have fun anyway. Add your home town to your avatar so we can contact you if we nearby.

This is a real wild shot due to the Coronavirus Virus happening presently, but would their be any interest this summer of putting together a ride from lets say Astoria Oregon on down the coast to maybe North Bend or Bandon?
Bill
Sounds like it would be a fun ride. only 36 hrs and 2320 miles --- short route or the scenic 45 hrs and 2450 miles. One day maybe I will be able to make that trip.

The numbers just get all crazy. Most of the deaths being pinned on Covid 19 have major underling health issues. Any and all deaths are sad and hearth breaking for the families involved. We lost my wife's oldest son last 3 July (58 years old) and it doesn't much for her to break into tears. A picture of his business popped up on 'Facebook' last night and tears were flowing. All we can do is be supportive of each other and pray that things get better quickly. Help when and where you can and stay safe.

That's one group I hope I never belong to
I know it's my turn to buy lunch....

My 86 year old father, that has longstanding pulmonary and cardiac issues, is on his way to the ER for breathing problems. The hospital currently has a no visitors policy, except for end-of-life and pediatric issues, so I can't even go down there to be with him. Not to mention the fact that last place someone in his condition needs to be right now is a hospital.
Will send prayers your way for him and the family.

And what caliber would that umbrella be chambered in, Ej? ...lol 😉
The thing that is interesting is I don't 'carry' and never wanted to... I'm well protected...everyone I hang with carries. My son, the gal that works for me and most of those that I ride with. I do believe in guns and taught both my son and daughter to handle and shoot when they were young. I do have a couple of shotguns in the house.

Life is too short for bad beer or crappy TP!
I buy Butter instead of imitation plastic to spread on my toast.

Getting understanding as to why may be another link in the chain.
I have always said the most attractive and healthiest thing you could ever do for yourself is put on a smile first thing in the morning😎. It really does work wonders!Georgia gets aggravated with me cause I do get up every morning with a smile on my face and in my heart. (sometimes{most} I carry a umbrella in case the Sh1t hits the fan).

This whole bunch on this forum is hard to get along with...

There's a saying among hunters: Keep your powder dry.
My variation for you is : Keep your paper dry.
Nice score!
In both cases buy the good stuff.

Can we make some sort of plan for me to get them and then ship them to you? Did that once years ago --- to a young man in Germany.

6'4", but perhaps my personality makes me appear taller!
Or the little people you hang out with....

If you are looking to sell your slingshot during these trying times, might I suggest a couple of accessories that will drive its value up with the typical consumer...
Sent from my SM-G955U using Polaris Slingshot Forum mobile app
Sometimes I'm a little SLOW.....just took a 'closer' look at the "Slingshot"....YES added value.

Your generally lucky to get 10% of the cost of a added mod to any motorcycle. Don't add anything thinking that it will make your sale.

I've been binge watching MotorTrend TV all day and I think I've seen a TV ad for everything Polaris makes, except the Slingshot. Is there another ad campaign somewhere that I'm not aware of or is Polaris simply relying on the occasional glimpse of a Slingshot to catch the eye of a would-be buyer? I don't know, I'm not in the marketing business, but that can't be the way you would boost sales of a struggling product, IMHO... 🤔
Very few ads for Slingshot.
