    Got the knock sensor code earlier in the year. Replaced sensor. Code would not clear. Dealer had to use Digital Wrench. Mechanic said some codes will not clear.

    And the Knock Sensor Code is one of those that seems to not want to reset. I replaced the Sensor and still have the Light. Heading down to Brewer's Cycles in Henderson, NC on the 26th to get it reset...along with some Recall stuff I've been putting off. Hey MACAWS , let's do lunch!!! I'll even let you buy!!!!:thumbsup::00008172::00008356:

    Hey Cameron Roberts ! Long time, no see! That was us (the Hampton Roads Crew) tooling about. We are routinely in that neck of the woods...either heading to the winery or just bumming about Williamsburg. I still have your number, so I'll give you guys a shout when we're heading to your area. I'll be heading to Rota, Spain on 24 June for the week. Hope I have the fortune of running into @The Rock while I'm there. Take care and Happy Father's Day!!

    We love you Rob the Slob !!! All of us are praying and pulling for you in this fight!! Know one thing . . . if you need anything, just reach out and we'll be there for you and Luann!!

    Keep up the good fight, Brother!! We're all in this, together. A whole bunch of us still want and need you around!!!!:00008040:

    Brothers and Sisters,


    A few days ago, I received probably the most heart-breaking news about one of our Slingshot family members. A member I consider more than just a dear friend. I'm talking about Rob the Slob. If you are fortunate enough to have ever met Rob, you would agree that he is truly a special person. I'm not talking "short bus" special!! I'm talking special in a very humble sense. Truly a good friend to have in your life.


    Well. . . Rob is now in a fight for his life. He has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer. It blinds me with anger to even say. I don't know why I'm so angry. I just keep asking myself...WHY!?!? How could something like this happen to someone so great? I know it is not right to question issues like this. But I'm just feeling selfish right now.


    Rob is a very strong person. But even the strongest person could use a little prayer or two to help them over the hump. I kid you not, this is one hell of a hump. He's scheduled to start Chemo real soon. He is also looking forward to seeing everyone in Maggie Valley this year. He is truly a trooper.


    Right now, Rob could use our collective help in prayer. Since Velma and I got the news, we haven't stopped praying. This has affected us in a very heart-felt way. If you've ever met Rob and his lovely wife Luann, you know exactly what I'm talking about.


    If you have a special prayer in your heart, I ask that you send it out for Rob and Luann. Right now, they both need our support. Given the camaraderie and fellowship of the Slingshot community, I'm sure we all can give him the support he needs to get through this.


    Rob, you and Luann are a special part of mine and Velma's life. I'm not ready to say goodbye. Not now. . .Not ever! Any and everything you need to give you strength, can be found in this Slingshot family. This is OUR fight. We are in it with you. We are in it to win it. We ARE with you. I love you, brother.

    "@$#% Cancer"

    (Just trying to cut down on my profanity):cursing:

    You do know that is 50 % clear for Friday --- 30% clear for Saturday and 50% clear for Sunday

    I agree, BUT....!!!! I don't knock my Slingshot driving prowess in the rain. It's those other idiots out there that raise the hair on the back of my neck. That, and that uncomfortable 3 to 4 hour ride in the rain that bothers me. Call it what you want...I just hate Slinging in the rain. This past year in Maggie Valley had a lot to do with that!!!!

    I'll keep an eye on the forecast, and make my decision tomorrow. Fingers crossed and prayers sent!!!!!

    Has anybody taken a look at the forecast for this event?


    Friday - 50% chance of Thunderstorms during the day. 90% chance of Thunderstorms Friday Night.

    Saturday - 80% chance of Thunderstorms during the day. 50% chance of Thunderstorm Saturday night.

    Sunday - 50% of scattered Thunderstorms during the day. 90% chance of Thunderstorms Sunday night.


    Don't get me wrong, we already have Hotel reservations. On top of that, we love the ride to Clarksville, as well as the wonderful people there. The chance of seeing old friends and new...priceless!!! Right now, I'm keeping an eye on the forecast. If it continues to slide downhill, I'll have some tough decisions to make.;(:(||
