You all must have been going slower than us. We were so fast we could not keep the video. It was just a blur. 😊😊😊😊😊

Br4hm4 i feel your pain as we seem to have had to live it together lately. 😊. And I get the “why the hell am I even on FB feeling”.
This is my 2 cents. I have been dumped on on FB forums for all kinds of things over the years. Most recently it has been, as Grant and wokka have pointed out, directed at our quad conversions. It would be acceptable to see opinions, but many of them have been insults or degrading comments. Grant you came to my defense on one and that is why I am still on FB. There are a few really bad apples in these groups and they can ruin a perfectly good thread.
Moment of vent... one thread in particular was about a 17yr old sling owner who died because he did not have on a seatbelt. A turd decided to make some rude and vulgar comments.
Ok back to my point. FB still has its benefits, but you have to wade through some serious crap sometime to see it. Hang in there man. Like any steaming pile of crap. They too will dry up and drift away

Ok. The word is out that Painter and I purchased The Trakhamr kits for our Slings. We got the kits on Saturday 9/7 from TrakHamr Troy himself. We put them on the trailer and headed home. I put about 100 miles on mine (riding to Jim’s house) before we headed to Mayhem in the Mountains on Tuesday 9/9. Jim has 0 miles. We headed out on back roads and had a blast for the first 250 miles or so. Well all expect for the 90 degree turn I took at like 45 because I was way to busy looking at the countryside. (Troy it held great and probably saved my life. For the rest of you I do not recommend trying this. ). As we were wrapping up our ride on Tuesday Jim began to experience an issue which caused him to swerve left or right. We had 208 miles of nail biting driving the next day to Bristol. We were positive it was the front tires so we replaced them immediately. We were wrong. So we set an appointment for our alignments. We were promptly there at 8am Thursday morning and they started on Jim’s first. Shortly after they put it on the lift they came and got us to see the issue. The bolts on the heim plate were very loose and allowed the plate and the heims to slip. They took the bolts out and put lock tight on, put them back and then finished the alignments. After that we put well over 1000 miles on them and I think was simply awesome!
The handling is incredible, the reaction of the sling is incredible. And they look badass.
When kev or TrakHamr say CHECK ALL THE BOLTS all I can say is DO IT!!!
Thanks Troy for a wonderful add to our slings.
Ok JIM if you disagree with my review. Your turn

Can’t tell you all how honored I was to receive one of Bu11sh1t Harvey’s gifts. Made my day. He presented the little gem to me at the hotel we all met up at in Richmond, Ky. He is truly a great friend
-
Oh. I almost forgot. Harvey did really ride the dragon. The nose of his sling was locked into the backend of Jim’s sling so he was towed.
Just want to get the truth out there.

I know all have already said how great a ride and event this was so I will skip that part. Harvey Bu11sh1t would tell me to shut the .... up anyway. 😊. Instead I would like to thank Tim and Denise for giving so many of us an incredible opportunity to deepen existing friendships and form new ones that will last much long then we can imagine. I am opportunity to spend time with folks I have not seen in a very long time and to be honest spend quality time with. The “Fast Crew” was an awesome time. Can’t thank FunCycle , ThomSS , Goats_Hogs Hodge EjFord JoeB maverick5990 and Keith (can’t remember your avatar) enough for allowing me to be a part of the crew.
Tim 123hotdog and Denise I feel like I have added to my family. You two are special people and very much look forward to future gatherings.

My dash said 100 today while we were out, but who really cares when you are with friends. 123hotdog ”Tim” has done a great job.
-
123hotdog what is the address again?

I saw a bunch today in Bristol, TN or VA. 😊

There's so many of you now, you guys should start up some kind of forum or something. You know, a place to share ideas and mods and stuff...
Jim and I are cracking up. Too funny.
-
This is by far the best mod we have done!! Well except for the DDM supercharger!!!

What's going on sir?
Nothing. Just my sick sense of humor...
-
We are just starting to get the rain, by Thur. night it should be gone. Time will tell how bad it will get.
You gonna have to drive through it to get to Mayhem?

Glad you are ok FunCycle . Hope the rest of our sling family is OK up the coast.
