Display MoreI gotta say, the organization has taken a good deal of time and thought in creating the Mission and Vision statement that drives our work.
Our Mission is To grow a Polaris Slingshot community that supports Slingshot owners and promotes education and activities beneficial to said owners.
GROW a COMMUNITY that SUPPORTS OWNERS and promotes EDUCATION and ACTIVITIES BENEFICIAL to said OWNERS
We all know there are more Slingshots not on forums, not on Facebook, not on Instagram, and not on Twitter than there are. Is that because they tried a forum and were met with something less than open arms? Maybe they were looking for detailed instructions on the installation of the turbo encabulator but how do you find anything on Facebook? Maybe they tried Instagram and Twitter and couldn't find what they were looking for.
If you could talk to each owner - and you could only tell them of one place to go. One place for information/education. One place to find friends that will stand with you through thick and thin. One place to find everyday example of paying it forward. One place where you can be sure race, religion, creed, political views, etc. don't matter. One place where owners matter the most. One place to find the latest and greatest. One place where you can find rides with just a friend or rides with 100+ of the greatest people in the Slingshot world. Where would you send them? You would send them to this forum.
It's our Vision that takes that up a notch (or 100).
Vision: As a not-for profit organization, we will strive to grow a stronger community that:
1. Places individual owners as a priority,
Owners need, no deserve, no must have a voice. A voice with Polaris, a voice with innovators, with retailers, etc. People before profit - the Community before cash - the owners before the opportunity to make money. That's why the SOG is not-for-profit. Being not-for-profit is at our core and how we believe that you would build an organization built to serve members.
2. Strives to help educate owners with information and expertise without monetary charge or further commitment - to pay-it-forward, so to speak, in hopes of promoting same,
We've talked about it before - this forum is the perfect place for owners to find information and education. We all participate in one form or another. We all share. And we are all better for it. Imagine if you could add 1,000 or 5,000 or 10,000 more members that wanted to learn more, share more, and help one another more.
3. Supports and promotes camaraderie through affordable organized events across the county,
Is there a better way to experience the thrill of the Slingshot than with a group of friends? Have you ever gone to an event and miss a ride because you met new people or got caught up in helping someone? More affordable events is what we all need. Events where the Average Jane and Joe can walk in and meet owners and fall in love with the Slingshot without having to pay an entrance fee. How about events that don't make money off of the vendors - you know vendors pay what the facility charges and only that. Will we charge money if you want an event t-shirt .... absolutely - well until we find a millionaire backer that wants to pay for everything - but gouge you for a t-shirt absolutely not.
4. Supports owner innovators through the promotion of their ideas and products,
Some of the best products for the Slingshot have come from owners with a vision of what is needed for their ride. Not a manufacturer that has never even sat in a Slingshot saying I think I can make money off these Slingshot folks. How many great vendors have we seen come and go - some because of personal commitments elsewhere and some because they couldn't afford to keep producing their product. Think again about the folks not on this forum, Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter .... how much cool stuff are they missing out on? What products are stuck in these innovators heads that they can't bring to market yet because they don't have the time or the resources to drive their day-to-day operations and innovate.
5. Creates an atmosphere of sharing knowledge and experience, and
We talk about it every once and awhile. What makes this forum better than any other - the Community of people willing to share and help. You see it at events - heck I was one of those new guys that had more questions than hours in the day. But I see what happened to us at our first event happen to new owners at every event I go to - questions being answered, insight being given, helping hands tearing down an entire Slingshot or replacing that darn horn fuze or troubleshooting a new turbo/supercharger install and the list goes on. The world would be a better place with more of it.
6. Supports charitable giving and community well-being.
This group has supported each other - St Jude's, Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, Veterans, strangers and close friends. This kind of giving spirit it makes us all better people.
--------------------------
To answer your question - Can a not-for-profit organization like SOG make a difference for a member with an idea, and the skills and dedication, to follow it through to an actual tooled up for and available item? Could the SOG then be of assistance, could they assist by providing stepping stones necessary for a good idea and product, to evolve into a reality at an affordable pace?
Without a doubt - if everyone does a little something. Look at me - almost zero mechanical skills - it takes me 10 times longer to do anything you mechanical folks can do but maybe - just maybe - I make up for it with a little photography skill or a little print layout skill. You help me with my mechanical questions and I say thank you with calendars, garage posters, and the like. How's the old saying go .... a raising tide raises all ships. I believe we can. With a strong backing from our membership I believe we can help innovators get their products in front of owners. I believe a strong membership can help the innovators compete with the big box sellers.
Our Board of Directors comes from all skills and backgrounds and strengths - ask them anything Slingshot related and they know the answer or know someone with it - or ask them any questions you might have about our Mission or Vision - or better yet, share your ideas, thoughts, and hopes for SOG ....

All that typing and work, and it's not even in the SOG thread where everyone can find it....

Show and Share and encourage some more folks to buy...got keep Ross doing these, but that can only happen if he can move enough to cover his costs.....
Well, a whole bunch have been shipped, so start showing off your new calendars as soon as you get them!

That’s why I’m confused🤔 There are many post, and much talk of fume issues, but no real answers? Surely in 4 model years someone would have figured something out???
And the search goes on. Thanks guys.
Too many variables, and no dedicated testing platforms. One guy has one set up, and experiences one thing, and the next guy has *one* item different, and has a different experience. Plus different weather conditions, passengers with differing levels of tolerance....it's just a crapshoot.

2. R-SHOT Ride or Die Foot Rest. SALE Price: 99.00 Reg, 139.00 - Savings of 39.00 (Will not fit SLR models)
I'm not a hi-tech DOD en-ginn-ear, but I'm pretty sure $139 - $99 is not a savings of $39.
Boomer , help me out here, what's the punch line?

I do not have a rear wind restrictor, but from my understanding they increase the amount of dead air in the cockpit. If you are already experiencing fumes, I would probably not recommend the wind deflector.

Doug you need to get a picture in this section..... NOW....
EjFord , they don't have winter in the PNW. They just have colder rain. And he doesn't go out in it, because Ross and exharleyrider and I determined he doesn't have any rain gear.

Hey Ross , I just read my post above and when I asked about activity off the forum, I meant off of the forum, such as facebook and other social media. Just wondering if there's anything we can do to increase your exposure.
Just get a couple of drinks in him, he'll run around and take care of his exposure all by himself, trust me. LOL

Wish I lived closer, man. Always nice to have a spare. Good luck.

Plus when we all get ours and start posting about how awesome it is....

Idea for what? What she'll do with the time? Same thing she's been doing, I assume.... Work, work, work.
