It's not really the hideous things that he does under the hood of an SS. It's the hideous things he does to a bank account......
Ya so true. But he's one of those guys you just wish you had more money to buy stuff from. So many cool things.

I can't believe that's actually a thing! Tv at a gas pump? I think I would rather have someone pump the gas for me instead. And make me coffee. This making my own coffee thing is getting old. Manservant coffee tastes waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. After all this fooling around, and extra shopping that has occurred at Alpha, there had better be awesome coffee delivered to me in bed. Some other gratitude delivered to my bed would also be appreciated...
Lol Ya I miss u too.

Sorry ya missed us Kruz, there was three of us that enjoyed a cruise thru the city for about 1.5 hours.
I will post a pic once I figure out how. I'm sure we will do it again one day.Just hit the paperclip beside the smiley face
On an android then hit dcm then camera then pick ur pic. If you have an I phone I have no idea but the paperclip is where it all starts. -
Not to sidetrack this thread or hijack it in any way - BUT. I finally had my turn to meet Henry from Alpha after all this time. Not sure how that was going to play out, I can tell you that he's the real deal. We talked a bit and I told him that the work he and his guys do is sick. He even tossed on a second burger patty on my bun on Thursday night's BBQ. He's not only a restaurant owner, but he knows his way around a grill - the burger was done perfect. And to my surprise, when I was packing up to head out a day earlier to stay ahead of the storm, Henry came over, shock my hand and wished us a safe ride home. I told him we'd meet up again in the Rockies. Henry may be a good business owner, but he's also a great guy. Glad to have finally met you Henry and thanks for your friendship
Well we will just make sure he gets that message @Turbosling

Yes the new le has smooth plastic. I believe they're selling the smooth trim pieces in a few colors now for the low low price of 1200 dollars.
Time at Alpha is good time. You should watch Andy swap an alternator. It happens fast. I can't think of anyone over there that isn't great. Henry, Andy, and Troy all have such big personalities. They're totally different from one another so there's always something to talk about.
So true thier a great bunch for sure. 1200 bucks holy doodle lol that's like 500000 canadian dollars lol. Well maybe not but you could at least double that for us Canadians. Really Polaris should be giving us a kickback for talking up thier product. I'm 100 percent sure I've convinced quite a few to buy one. Lol
-
Hey I was talking to one of the guys in the shop and here's an interesting tidbit I didn't know but apparently polaris is changing the black plastic on the hood to smooth and shiny. Had one at Maggie Valley apparently. I didn't know that and if you didn't well now you do. Will be a bunch of guys looking for that part number when it comes out. Hopefully they make a bunch of stock.
-
I don't know why, but I'd really like the 4 wheeler with a nice body kit for the rear end... It just looks built for a sand dune or something.
That's funny that's exactly what I was telling Henry. Fill in the back flowing into some fenders over the tires with air scoops like a f1 car in front of the tires to channel the air to cool the brakes. The frame is beautiful and they really nailed the stance.
-
Miles racked up on the way to Alpha.
-
One other thing you don't see in Canada. You can watch TV while your filling up with gas.
Mind blown again lol. -
It was months ago Izak came to me at the supper table and said dad dad check this out. Someone put a v8 in a slingshot. And here he is sitting in that very slingshot. Got to start it and feel the power himself. He's been talking about it ever since couple of hours now. I'm sure he's texted all his friends by now to tell them. Dream come true for my little feller for sure.
-
OK here's the video of the short trip we made in the turbo. Wind noise but still can hear the good noise. Pshht.
-
Here's Henry and his group and a few of the slingshots thier working on. When we go back tomorrow were going to watch my sling getting ripped apart for a while. Which they have absolutely no problem with. Then Henry is going to let us borrow his again. He's going to draw me some maps of the roads around the shop so we can go touring around. How cool is that customer service oriented for sure. I may not want to leave lol.
-
Here's my sling sitting in good company.
-
OK here's the stuff you've been drooling with anticipation over lol. I got to actually touch sit in and start the monster. Be jealous be very jealous lol. Seriously I almost cried just to feel the power is so surreal. We were going to go for a rip but it started raining so will have to wait until tomorrow. The 4 wheel sling is outrageous and loud so cool. Then Henry let us take out the blue slingshot with a turbo got a little video will post. Kinda noisy with the wind but cool. The first thing I said when I hit the gas was oh my god. I expected it to be peppier but not that much. Like holy crap kinda power mind completely blown. Can't wait for mine to be done.
-
Man what an afternoon don't even know where to start. Cruised over to Alpha Powersport and dropped off the sling took a last picture of it knowing it will never be the same lol. It will be waaay better.Got to meet all the guys in the shop. It was a madhouse thier trying to unpack all thier stuff from the smokies. And do customer work plus unpack all the new parts they just got in. Man Henry was running back and forth grabbing parts the guy does not stop moving ever. The guys in the shop are an awesome bunch friendly and willing to answer any question you have with a smile. One of them even took time to run us back to the hotel. Great bunch of guys. Props to @Turbosling
-
Henry just called thier back gonna head over.
So excited -

Thank you @Travis @jorgebri60 -
What a day got up this morning and someone partially removed my cover my heart sank for a minute. But all was well thank god. The weather was crappy just light rain so not too bad was prepared for it. Heated seat pads work wonderful. When I get seats it's a must. Didn't rain until we pulled into alpha so not bad eh! Found out about the hydroplaning thing on the way back to the hotel hit a small lake and had a scare caught it thankfully I wasn't going really fast. Henry wasn't back from Maggie valley yet he should be there in an hour or so. Will go back and grab some pics. Keep ya posted
Oh yeah passed a slingshot pulling a trailer first one I've seen. I'm pretty sure it was @MBMedic glad he got fixed up and underway again special thanks to @SlingJockey dude u rule. -
Guess where i am
