  • Stock Radio

    Quote from Bubblehead

    All of a sudden been having problems with my radio. When I start the SS sometimes the radio seems to freeze up, no sound and none of the buttons seem to work. After I shut it down and restart a couple of times it begins to work again. Anyone else having or seen this problem and can give me an idea whats wrong.

    I do not know, I have not had it turned up loud enough to hear it in months, I just listen to the music of my SlingShot.

    Quote from Bill Martin

    I am watching the Charlottesville "protests" right now and am quite frankly sick of seeing this type violence on American streets. This type of behavior must me stopped by any means necessary. While I believe that any American has the right to say whatever they believe - no matter how stupid - but have no right to assault another individual in any physical manner. I don't care if you are Black Lives Mattter, the KKK, White, Black, Hispanic, Oriental or anything else - speak your mind peacefully or the full weight of the judicial system should crush any offenders under its weight. While I am a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment and have no problem with open carry. These idiots showing up at a possibly violative event such as this are not doing us any favors giving the gun haters ammunition for yet another attempt to infringe on our rights. If you wish to attend a protest like this - leave your weapon at home or don't go if you do not feel safe!!! If a precedent is set that you protest, and cross the legal line - you are going to jail - not just overnite - this nonsense may stop.

    THIS NONSENSE MUST STOP I agree @Bill Martin

  • How to quit smoking

    Do any of you remember the gentleman that had his hand sewed back on years ago? The doctors told he they would not even attempt the surgery unless he quit smoking, so he agreed and they replaced his hand. Some time passed and he was doing good with the surgery (I do not remember the time frame on this) I will just say some time after he decided to start smoking again. So he lost the hand because of lack of blood circulation because of the smoking.

  • Price of oil

    Quote from rnj12

    Super super easy. How many people run the k&n oil filer? I got the filer for $5 and mobil oil from Amazon for $22. You guys save me $50 each time I change oil. I will always thank you for that help you gave me.

    Thanks


    Quote from Solow

    So, what happened after 3yrs? Did you have to get it redone?

    lost some of the mobility because of the two fusions, but you then start to over work the areas above and below the fusion. So now I have some of the pain every day and it can be bad. So I take three hydro codon a day (10/325) one in the morning- one in the early afternoon and one after 8 PM where I can sleep at night without waking up hurting. I do not like taking this but there is no way around it, I have tried. But at least I can use my right leg without looking at it. That is how bad it was before, once the back started hurting, if I did not find something to sit in real quick it would put me on the floor. I am good now as long as I can manage the pain. This surgery was in Nov. 2005.

  • How to quit smoking

    Quote from Solow

    I just got back from the neurosurgeon. Apparently I have to get four of my vertebrae fused, but I have to quit smoking first before they'll do the surgery. I've tried 4-5 times in the past 20yrs, and I keep coming back to smoking. I've used chantex, or however you say it, the patch, but the adhesive gives me a rash, and here I am smoking 2 packs a day. I also have to get my left shoulder replaced, but the VA is going to do that, and they don't give a rat's ads if I smoke or NOT.
    Anyways, do any of you have a sure fire way ,for someone with no will power, to quit smoking?

    Either you want to quit or not. I quit cold turkey after my first triple bypass in 1996. Sixteen years and a day to the second, the average at the time was 14 years. How much more time do you want to spend with your family? I also had two fused (bone to bone) in 2005 3-4 and 4-5 lower I was good for about 3 years

  • cornering - Slingshot vs 4

    Quote from Ruptured Duck

    Simple inexpensive upgrades can make a world of difference. I have gone to Nitto tires (slightly wider all the way around) replaced the stock coils with QA1 coils that dropped the SlingShot by about 1". I haven't replaced the shocks yet and for the $120 cost for the coil change out don't see a need to spend the big money just yet. I did have to cut down the height of the rear cleavis because the rear coil is still stock.
    I also upgrade the front sway bar bushings with polyurethane as well as drilled the stock sway bar link mounting points 3/4" forward to stiffen it by about 20%. The tires were the expensive part but we'll worth it. @FunCycle and I were having a good time up until the little even he had. I was very pleased with the results .... Big bang for the bucks.... :thumbsup:
    Point being it is relatively easy to improve the handling dramatically with little effort... And yes I'm still N/A.

    QA-1's set at 2 around home and 5 or 6 in the twisties. I forgot to change them up on the last trip and I could really tell the difference. --- DDM sway bar --- RRR Radiator support bar --- BFG Comp 2 all around (Not A/S)
