I'm with Progressive and paying $41 a month for full coverage. It could be that I had an accident and totaled a Honda Grom.

I have just over 6000 on the original Kenda.

I can't decide if I should go ahead and replace the tire before SSITS or wait until after. There's not much time to figure this out.

Personal opinions are like assholes...everybody's got one or knows one. 😂

Wow, and what size is your rear tire ?

I'm running the original Kenda 255/35 20. simpletire.com has that size Lexani Twenty for about $106. I've read that others are running that brand.

I've also been looking into the Lexani Twenty for about $106.

I'm probably going to need a new rear tire after the trip to Maggie Valley. I can get a Toyo Extensa HP II for $170 locally. Would this be a decent tire? Would it be better than a Nitto for $180?

I'll have to check that out for the trip to SSITS.

☀️ 82 degrees at the house and…..62 and jackets at the beach but felt so good to be back in the saddle again!! Off with the travel bags on with the roll bags 😎

Where did you get those bags?

That video would be really funny if it wasn't for the fact that he is the president. It's almost enough to make me want to cry.

Even if we get rid of 'Ole Joe, Harris would be controlled by the same people...so no change in leadership and we would be just as bad off with her, if not worse.

Yesterday, my friend and I left around 8 AM and got back to her house a little after 9 PM. Total mileage...a little over 400. Great day for a long ride and a sunburn.

Yesterday I got my Slingmods LED headlight replacements. I got the 2 center ones in with only a little difficulty but there is no way the H3 outside lamps are going to work. I even took out the metal mount but the sleeve that the clips are supposed hold it will not bend around it. A call to Slingmods tomorrow will hopefully clear this up.

UPDATE:

I finally did manage to get the outside LED lights installed...no help from Slingmods.

@echoraven That happened to me when I was buying a .22 rifle. I had to wait till the next day and try again.

Welcome to the "World of Slingshot Insanity" Best thing that you can do is get LOTS of miles in the seat before going to crazy with the 'mods'. Check out Slingshots in the Smokes 2023 http://www.Slingshotroadsters.com probably be 500+ Slingshots there for the week. Anything you can think of that can be done to s Slingshot you will see.

Even somebody doing wraps?

I should be there late Monday and staying through Saturday to leave on Sunday. I'll be at the Best Western. Signed up for the Wheels Through Time tour and Dragon's Tail ride.

What are the normal temps around the time of the meet?

I have a PDF file of the 2015-2017 slingshot repair manual if that would help.

You can almost make it to your hotel from my house in a drunken stagger 😂

PRO TIP… the liquor store is between your hotel and me 😬

I'm not much of a drinker but that's good to know. I'm hoping the hotel is decent and good for sleeping cause I'm going to need it pretty bad after about 15 hours travel time.
