    Your 'Family' ride to the Drive Inn movies....

    Long overdue probably, but we are offering naturally aspirated tunes now for the 2015-2019 Polaris Slingshots. Nice bump in power and better drivability for sure all for $350. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions we can answer :)

    Dave if we let you know ahead of time can you make that happen at Maggie Valley.

    The guys have been telling me to do it for a long time.

    Luckily the windshield caught the bolt that fell off a flatbed as it was directly in line with my beautiful wife’s eyes. So thankful that the windshield caught it but has anyone ever fixed, repaired, or patched up a slightly tinted windshield? Or am I just better off leaving it alone and will most likely just make things worse. These two divots in the red circle are what I’m talking about.

    That is great news! We got into WallyWorld a couple of weeks ago for our first Moderna shot. They scheduled us for the second shot for April 2. Can’t wait!

    Local Walmart did a super job for Georgia and I only 4 miles away.

    Hummm EVERY Saturday Before a ride push her out of the garage soap down with the pressure washer, fresh water rinse, leaf blower dry, armor all, then quick detail polish. Got it down to about 35 to 40 minutes. I find it impossible not to go out with a clean ride. Road trips are a dilemma - can’t wait to go on them but after about 2-3 days I’m losing it driving around with a dirty Sling. I do like the microfiber cloth‘s and have many of them however finding ones that are absorbent seems to be a challenge

    On a road trip I get up and clean the Slingshot while I'm having a second cup of

    Thanks for endorsement, but these new headlights I'm experiementing with require some major redesign. I'm taking my time and hope to get some thing posted soon. My original headlight covers had broken mounting tabs on both of them and I had to order replacements so I can try to get the new headlights properly centered wit respect to the headlight covers. If I were to remove the headlight covers, repositioning the new headlights for general use would be a snap, but the headlights would then be naked!;)

    The only Naked things we want around the Slingshot is a female

    I did not indicate prices --- to many factors to consider --- but less a month for insurance (Slingshot) than the cost of lunch for 2 at the local Greek family restaurant.  



    Well I am not good at doing that stuff anyway as I seam to screw up more then I fix. I could see someday wanting a SC but would have to find a shop to do it. Sally has a lot of years of warranty and the extended warranty so I probably will never see a SC on her. I do thing I need after market shocks as I feel every pebble on the road. Never did like these low profile tires. My son bent a mag wheel when he had a Trubo Laser hitting a pothole and had to beat the rim with a sludge hammer to get the tire to seal. The car had custom wheels and we could afford a replacement at the time.

    Don some of the guys have gone to a softer tire. A lot of it depends on how and where you ride. If for the most part you are going to riding North Florida that might be the best way to go. Your not looking to be the fastest guy on the Dragon.

    I don't generally shop....I BUY. I think we all need to learn to Shop insurance. I had a minor accident with the Slingshot last summer.... No damage to the Slingshot but tore up a small Jeep that the young man had just bought. (I took the hit - insurance) but the young man was speeding and I didn't want to put him in a bad spot. Bottom line my insurance company raised my rate 54%. Called Dan the Man (independent agent) in Texas my agent for the company, he went shopping for me and came back with a better policy about 5% less than the cost before the raise from company one. About $188.00 dollars that can go in the gas take for miles of smiles.

    Dan has been taking care of the Slingshot family since the early days and wrights

    insurance in many states.

    I have a 2016 and have added the Canadian head lights...now have 6 when running on high beam and like the distance and brightness. I live and ride a lot of country roads at night...deer a major factor and my system works well for me. Since 2015 I have put better than 99,000+ miles in the seat of the Slingshot. 'I ride'

    Looking forward to meeting up tonight, several guys are planning to be there. its on hwy 41 x pine island road in north fort myers, we will be there by 4pm till 6pm then go eat dinner.

    Greg hope all is moving in a positive direction.

    When shopping, for me I shop service and than price. Every motorcycle I bought I bought thru the service department. If the service department isn't going to take care of you why should the dealership get the monies up front? For me that has and is working very well. For the Slingshot I travel 120 miles for the oil change.

    What years guys? Everyone keeps talking about mods like everyone know what year Sling they drive or what year the mods are for. I drive a 2020 do I need one, Do they fit a 2020? Everyone says how great a turbo or a SC is but what about on the new engine. Or this is where I installed the addon 30 gal fuel tank but that spot is not even on my 2020. Ok sorry rant over you all just corn fuse me.

    Don is your a GM 2.4, if yes than you could use one. But to use the breaks on a Slingshot the rules says you need to be driving more than 60 mph.
