Do note the Doc does not dispute 173 u-turns.
-
It was a nice ride, @DocG speaks truth. But, the Doc omits the fact that as ride leader, we did 173 u-turns. Next time, I lead.

What is awesome is the effort you have put into this. Fliers are very well done. All the effort you put into setting up events.
It is right and correct to cover your 6. Let's get 'er done.

This is how my ride started. 5 miles from my house.
In a sling, you meet all kinds of folks.

That was a great ride!
-
I appreciate that. That 1st cigarette was the dumbest thing I ever did. At the age where grandkids are popping out. Eager to see them grow up.

Coming up on 3 years of vaping. Tried everything to quit smoking, and only e-cigs worked. Currently vaping 0 nic. I try to take one day a week off the vape.
Silly habit. But, to be off the stinkies is wonderful. Feel a lot better, and smell better too. Vaping may not be completely safe, but pretty darn sure a pack a day of camels is 100x worse.

oh yeah, it's all coming together now.
Is there a ride coming together? Looks like two of us would be in. Might be able to get three or four more. Weather looks good.
Let's ride.

For those who have not tracked their sling, the vid is an excellent example of doing it right. That was hard, and very well done.
I found myself in 5th gear on the straights. Wrong. I found myself shifting in turns. Wrong. I found myself handling the steering wheel like oars on a rowboat. Wrong. I found myself braking in turns. Wrong. You see none of my errors in the vid. It did come together for me for a lap or two, but only briefly. Went home humble.
Next time, I will leave my 2nd left foot at home. Props to @TheRock for getting 'er done. Lucky to @lrobbi for getting the lesson. Next time, I will cut in line for co-pilot. And sport stickier tires.

That's not the point. The point is to have the beautiful womens languishing upon the sling hood.
Double darn. Yet another weakness of mine. Expensive hobby.

Is this coming together? I can host if you want to max out at 50 mph between stop lights. I can get us vip treatment at mt Vernon,but more lead time might be better. Jets flying over at gravelly park 10 feet over your head is fun, for a few moments.
But slinging that way is not for long legs. Somebody gonna step up?
-
Oh, no. My theory is the best mod is no mod. This might break the seal. Darn.
-
Sounds like a short visit is in order.
The doc reports he will see you tomorrow. I was ready to ride along, until I found out he is driving his truck to pick some stuff. Nope to that.
He is instructed to speak with you regarding Saturday. Suggested we would be passing wide on the way down, maybe of the way back we could pop in briefly.

@Turbosling talk to 3rdwheel. He is a man of many, many, many mods. Most homemade. Some of what he has done might appeal to a wider audience. He (I think) has build 180 with a steel frame. He has been at this a while, and knows his sling inside and out.
-
Uh oh. Henry is back. Hide the checkbook.
Sweet looking mod.
-
Really? I didn't know that. Doc said lets ride, I just said yes. Is there a sling dealer in Hampton roads?
If I chug my beer at doc's, we should be on Cameron's turf 'round noon.
-
Just checked my notes. Doc says 17 through Yorktown to get "there", where there is I dunno. If your lovely bride is around and you are again stocking Yuengling in the beer fridge, we should hook up. Lemme find the doc and be more precise.
-
I'm in for any ride that launches within a few hundred miles of Fairfax. Do note that @DocG and I are doing missionary work for booze & blues on Saturday. Launch is around 10 a.m. From chateau Doc in Fredericksburg. Not sure the full plan, but the doc speaks of route 17 and Yorktown.
Sunday is good for me too. I can ride, or do laundry, vacuum, do step-n-fetch, and make silly posts to this forum. Would prefer to ride.

Prostitutes, pimps, pink fedoras, true fiends? No problem. But frankly I was just hoping for good weather and a nice ride.
