  • Go KC!

    Quote from dalancroft

    I seem to recall a this little document called the First Amendment.

    Constitutional First Amendment Right:

    "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."



    dalancroft - there are some things that get under my skin the best... and that's the fact that it is everyones right to exercise the 1st Amendment, but where did that Right come from??? It was fought for and paid for with the blood of mine - and your kinfolk. It is in fact, a Liberty that is still defended today - but seems to be defended most in a grotesque, perverse manner. Example: Kaper-dick exercising his 1st Amendment right to kneel and not support pride for the nation he lives and thrives well in- is also a nation full of soldiers above ground and below - that gave him that very right to exercise.


    Here's how I see it.Here's my constitutional right to tell you and everyone else agreeing with you - the clear cut truth.

    The "un-'mericans" that kneel during the National Anthem, and /or destroy the American flag- They are the biggest cowards of this nation. They are cowardice, passive aggressive's - who essentially lack the courage to spit in the faces of those who serve / served. Because - to those who have worn / wear military uniforms - disrespecting their Flag, their Anthem - its the same as spitting on them.


    These ungrateful, undeserving, "its all about me", waste of human flesh invertebrates lack the courage to defend our Nation and personal Rights and Liberties. They lack courage in their convictions. They will never walk up to veteran and show such disrespect in their presence - and simply walk away... the truly brave have exercised " Pro aris et focis " and " Pro Deo et patria " as a way of life their entire lives - and don't tolerate such disrespect and perversion.


    People like Kaper-Dick? Should go ahead and try.



    There are some things you don't use the 1st Amendment as a defense for. Irony defined - without that National Anthem, without the Colors in Old Glory - there would be no 1st Amendment.


    LOVE IT OR GET THE HELL OUT!

  • 2020 Slingshot Reveal and info

    Quote from EricRedSL

    Okay enough negativity guys. I have a 2015 that I'm very happy with. The new slingshot colors excetera as far as Cosmetics look great. But that's not enough for us current owners to go and trade or buy a new one. If they came out with a supercharged model for under 30,000 with a 5 year warranty I may have been interested. It's pretty tough to come out with breaking new cosmetic changes when you had a winner out the gate.

    hey - I will never have negative comments on the product design - or the fun the product creates....

    My negativity stems from and is aimed towards the advertisement and information released - a severe lack thereof. Which does not excite or motivate ALL consumer groups - manual AND automatic groups, current owners AND new customers...

  • 2020 Slingshot Reveal and info

    Just so y'all know...


    I watched this reveal as a CUSTOMER - with a limited inside view of the different designs and pilots and manufacturing of the slingshot this past year....


    I am NOT seeing ANY information on the cool stuff... the new stuff...

    So - ONCE AGAIN - POLARIS FAILS TO PROPERLY INTRODUCE - ADVERTISE - PROMOTE their 2nd Generation Slingshot product.


    You have to make the consumer WANT to go to the dealership and check it out... yes the auto drive will pull some in... but for those that still want manuals - you also have new features that aren't being shown or advertised in the videos - or the "build your own".... because they are STANDARD features....


    Some of the specs are incorrect....


    What a blundering shit show release.... and I couldn't help but yell at the TV last night while watching their - less than exciting "advertising".

  • Where Did You Take Your Slingshot Today?

    Beautiful and Scenic... and where ALOT of (in)formal pictures are taken. Alabama has 11 Historical Covered Bridges, and Blount County is dubbed as the "Covered Bridge Capital" with a total of 13 covered bridges. I have not seen them all.... but have yet to see one as scenic and tranquil as Clarkson. Some are just down right spooky..


    Thanks for sharing Larry!

  • 2020 Events by SSR

    Just an FYI...


    If any members go to buy parts on the Cycle Springs website ... you must call and place your order..

    Everything looks legit - you can put items in your shopping cart - you can even checkout over secured website - the money transaction is marked pending to your bank... they even give you a "estimated ship date"


    2 weeks later you give them a call to see why your ordered has not went past the "order processed"....


    And you hear... "oh the online purchase portion of our website hasn't worked in a long time... always call us with your orders.. "


    Cycle Springs DID have an excellent customer service response.. and the RH Upper A-Arm order was over-nighted free of charge. That kind of large/heavy item shipping was not cheap..


    We have always valued any vendor with exceptional customer service AFTER the sale was made - mistaken order or missing parts or parts returned... we support the vendors whose customer service proves to outshine the original purchase.

  • Cracked Front Passenger Fender


    Perhaps Ruptured Duck or airoutlaw can assist with a more eloquent answer... but here goes:


    No you do not have cracked fenders as viewed in your pictures. It is also pictured on our "ejector side" passenger fender.... ejector side of molded plastics is most often from the side not in clear view, or in a prominant view by customer or others... it also is where the date code, part number is found and identifies as to what plastic material it is made of. Molded automotive parts are given a definition to each surface... A - being most visible surface, then B, C, and finally D - being the most hidden.. for example your skid plate underneath your car would be a "D surface" while the interior dash would be an "A surface".

    The ejector side of the slingshot hood is most likely a B surface. It is seen, but only when the customer opens it.

    Ejector side of molds means there are several moving steel parts. Because it has paint on these "seams" its not from hanging on the paint racks during paint line. And because these "seams" are not visible to the "A surface " or topside of the hood - one can assume these are ejector plate markings. Which is not a defect... crack... it is the quite normal for large plastic pieces being assisted in removal from the mold in the injection mold process.

    Due to my vacation time limitations - if/when ivor relinquishes SSR events completely... we will most likely attend other events or take the trips steve and I have discussed taking in the slingshot for years and just havent.

    Quote from 2W2X1

    What I find disturbing since Monopoly Guy (MG) took over these events is the lack of competition from vendors. Now only certain vendors are approved by MG. Ie. "no LED vendors will be allowed to attend and setup but company X"


    Not to mention the drama/treatment MG created on FB and at the past Texas event surrounding the Veteran Owned Slinshot group.


    I personally will attend these events but will no longer register for them. I'll show up and ride, but they isn't getting my money.

    This is exactly what I have issue with... Slingmods being shut out, and the events monopolized to pad the pocket of one man. We did not make any purchase from under the monopoly tent. And we looked at the merchandise in others tents and waited to return home to make purchases just so all the money went to the sole vendor... and none went to the monopoly tent. And slingmods has always - from the start had quality products with phenomenal customer service.

    We did get the hood painting done at Maggie valley by Sara.... hard to purchase that online...

    I enjoy the events ivor coordinates very much. No complaints here against any part or portion...


    I do have some reservations about attending SSR events when ivor is no longer the coordinator....


    Ivor is a great event director. And yes steve and i heard a gentleman in line in front of us just hammering Ivor about fees and such.... to which he heard :

    The main gate worked as both an entrance and an exit....


    We had a good time... at all 4 events... we have no problem with what we paid for each of the experiences.


    I'm not sure I would have the same experience with another coordinator...


    Some ppl are just natural born "ppl persons" and some ppl are just natural born "salesmen wearing a smile".
