I don't think its a lack of enthusiasm either. 1st Dealerships - Polaris doesn't have dealerships in every town like chevy or ford. 2nd Limited Availability - Its not like there are a million produced every year 3rd Its a unique vehicle that some really love, some really hate, and one that some want to buy, but never will .

The majority of those that own one love them as a manual, but I personally think that having the 2020 model (and beyond as an option) as an automatic will increase the numbers of buyers that are afraid to drive stick. I know too many people that have never driven anything other than automatic.

And the one thing I think that Polaris has missed out on is advertising - in todays digital age - buy the advertisement and put it out on TV and the internet. Spend those dollars and get the message out there.

I have been eyeballing the SS since it came out and finally bought a new 2019 model. I could not be happier. But, it was more the fact that we have two dealerships within 60 miles of each other and that some of my friends have one. Even then, they still seem to be a rare as hen's teeth I cant tell you how many times I get a thumbs up or a head turned while driving mine.

I'm in the same boat, I registered in Sept. Just double checked my information. But I know that the holidays put everything on the backlog.

I love my flip top - I like the flexibility that I get with it. I like the fact that I can take off the front part and not have to leave it at home if I want/or need to put it back on if the weather goes to crap. I also like that it makes it easier for my wife in to get in and out of the SS. She struggled with Slingshade due to her disabilities (when we were seriously thinking about buying the SS - we were first looking at the GT model).

It is cheaper than the slingshade and assembly was not that difficult.

It also has its disadvantages - like have to look to side to see stoplights if I'm close. Being PVC piping, I wish that I could have reinforced a little more, but so far I'm very happy with mine.

Loaded the wife and some small presents into the SS and heading from Little Rock to Fayetteville on Xmas morning to surprise my brother and his family. My heated seats work great when its on 40 outside. It was nice coming back that evening in almost 60 degree weather. Since the SS was our Xmas present (and birthdays and anniversaries) wife wanted the wind therapy. She had a big grin doing a little less than 500 miles in one day. At least I have fresh fuel in the tank at the end of the day for the next nice weather day lol

It was a good prep ride to get ready to go to FL next summer

ITZQUIK Your Valk and mine are twins (except for the chrome pieces on your bags and the passenger seat arms rests). I don't plan to get rid of mine

2000 Honda Valkyrie (Love this bike), 2005 Honda Goldwing Trike - still have both of them. And now that my better half has almost recovered from her foot surgery, I have the feeling that Ill be riding two wheels a lot more once she starts driving the SS lol

Will do thanks I got the recall notice in my email not a formal letter

Just got 2019 SS out of the shop last week for the T-19-01 recall Now got a notice yesterday about a new recall to replace 10A circuit breaker for certain 2019 models (of course mine is one) lol Guess I better try to make an appointment again

I'm up to 8 right now - have given 3 away as gifts to my buddies that have SSs. Think I've reached my limit lol

I actually have painted one of mine to look my white one Came out pretty good

Doc - you have a million Wally Worlds around your area - I only striped the ones out of the Lowell store location lol

Ive now got six, found them at two Wally Worlds (of course out of town - none in my town Wally World yet)

Just an update. Usually I stay far Away from the stores thanksgiving night and Black Friday . I was at my brother's house for thanksgiving up in northwest Arkansas. He wanted to venture out and go to a local Wally World. I won't mention which one, but it's a good thing as I found six SSs and bought them all. My xmas shopping is done.

Wish I could find some around my area

I do not envy you But since the weather has been good here so far this week, Ive driving the SS to work and back every day. Tomorrow back in the cage due to the rain

I do not envy you

I get to kinda cheat now in Cold weather. I made about an hours drive Saturday to a Car show in 28 degree weather. I have installed heated seats which made my butt and back very warm. Of course wore a heavy leather riding jacket (my go to jacket when temps drop below 40). To kept my legs warm (knees and below), I just put on a set of good leather chaps. I wore my insulated riding boots so no problem for my feet . As for gloves, I just wore the same doe skin gloves that I use to ride my motorcycles. To keep my neck warm, just a regular gater. I dress now for the lower temps like the way I would dress to ride my bikes.

I'm just not ready to drop coin for electric clothing yet - especially since I bought my SS. The only reason that I dressed up so much for the drive Sat was that I knew it would be a long cold drive. This morning, driving to work in the low thirties (15 minute drive), I just wore my leather jacket and gloves

Glad you didn't get hit. I get on the road at 0600 every morning just to avoid city traffic - now if the police would just ticket the deer trying to occupy my lanes, Id be happy.

My better half has said I cant get anymore mods this year (after spending $3K the first month -seats, top, Neutrino, gas cap, windshield, etc.) Next mod will be Baker Luggage racks for long distance trips next year.
