    So far it's been awesome :thumbup: . Met a ton of new and old friends, the vendors have been great :thumbsup: . Having a great time, and listening to people's personal stories have made this a extra special event. Today is a good day, washed up our travel trailer, and getting a little more bling added :00008040: To our "Bad Ass" machine
    Doing some leg work for Mark, @Slingshot Garageand seeing if vendors are interested in supporting his "Sundre Slngfest" event on July 28,29,30 in Sundre Alberta Canada. Great grass roots effort he is organizing :00008674:

    Nice to see that some are already there. To bad about the last minute cancellation.
    Good travel day, from Cody to Cheyenne, with a stop in Casper to have lunch with my brother. Had nice supper, now it's time
    Will be making our way to comfort inn tomorrow, hope to be there bout mid afternoon. Shit almost forgot, is it just me or what the hell, twice yesterday and twice today, rains started and I eventually put on rain gear, within half hour stops and I'm sweating my bag off, stop and take all the shit off, 1 hour later rain, then it quits. Omfg. Looking forward to seen y'all tomorrow

    Well dam long day ! Up at 5:00 am, found some loose wires, thank god for duct tape temporary miracle fix. Our brand new ( 3 month old) Garmon Zumo GPS , has a mind if it own. Correct most of the time, stubborn as shit when you don't follow it and my mounted charger has stopped working. Thank go I had some trip tik packs made up at AMA before we left been super useful.
    Okay back to today left Great Falls bright n early, travelling to Beartooth Pass, fun, elevated twisty road, that part was fun. Getting stuck in two construction zones, one at a a stand still for over 1/2 an hour, then getting construction spray shit all over sucks ass, did a quick clean of the spring, hoping to get trailer tomorrow. We also got stuck behind a rockslide clean up crew and got to experience rain in the Sling ! All that now I'm not sure if I got a new noise in the rear end or am just getting paranoid! Lots of miles and hours today, biggest and longest so far in Sling. After 11 plus hours hours, we get to our destination in Cody, check in and all I want is to sit down and have a single ice cold beer. So we unpack and head down the main strip. Checking out pubs to get into. Parking is at a premium, I stop one, enough room but built for a awkward drive in between motorcycle and SUV
    What happen next is I'm to upset to even say, ‍♂️choice words were not spoken! So upset we went for quick supper and now back at motel, gave Sling a quick wash n rinse, and I think I'll cry my self to sleep. ( don't ask just yet, still to raw and emotional)
    Safe travels to all tomorrow, I'm meeting my brother in Casper Wyoming for lunch then off to Cheyenne for the night, and the heading for the Beaver Wednesday.
    PS, had lots of people stop and take pics and ask questions, all cool, all part of ownership. One kinda surprised me today, " do you steer with your front wheels of back wheel? Good this I was wearing glasses when I enlightened him.
    Putting box of Kleenex by bed and going to sleep now

    Sounds like we all had a long day riding, we just got to Great Falls Montana, holy shit it was a hot ride 38 deg C, y,alls can do the conversion but spanky hot. I've got fobo remote tire pressure sensors and they show temp as well the fronts matched the dash temp within a deg, 37/38 deg C, the rear was showing 45 deg C, holy holy shit hot.
    Staying at a Best Western, nice bike wash set up, they arranged parking outside my window by my room
    We also just missed rain driving in, road was still wet, but we stayed dry other than sweating our asses off. Another big ride tomorrow, Beartooth pass and then onto Cody Wyoming.
    Stay safe all see ya Wednesday.

    Quote from Texas T

    We are all hooked up, just waiting for a delivery before we head out. This is going to be a great trip. I'd like to thank the following that I've paid money to for this trip: :) PRP seats and @slingmods for the comfortable seats and shocks, Madstad for the windscreen that will provide airflow, Bullet Speed designs for the shade, @Turbosling for the power to pull the trailer without knowing it is there and @RichArlt for the fantastic design on the hitch that allows me to even consider pulling the trailer. We must not forget @JeffWelter who provides the soundtrack going down the road. I know, I know there are many more of you who have sold me mods, I just can't list them all here because my wife might read this and figure out, like the gun collection, this stuff cost much more than I told her! Safe travels all, we'll update from the mobile as we have time. I look forward to meeting old friends, and making new. See you there!

    Safe travels, we're leaving tomorrow morning for our trek there. Looking forward to meeting y'all at this event.

  • Muffler wrap

    One thing to keep in mind if you wrap your entire exhaust system is corrosion will occur faster, especially if you live in a high humidity area. I've heard this mentioned on several other threads. Though I do not have a lot of experience on this personally as I do not reside in a high humidity area nor have I wrapped my exhaust system.
    Please chime in if I'm out to lunch.
