Congratulations. Going to free up any summer time?Starting at a new place next Monday, huge raise, doubling my pension. Work might not be as steady as the power company, but work less, but make more, should be a win. Have a good feeling about it.
Hope you have plenty of love saved up for your wife! Just Smitty here! HA!Cheers to a 4 day weekend!

I've often wondered why people buy a slingshot versus a convertible? I've never taken the time to drive one to answer the question. Any insight you can offer?I've been worried about you highschool dropouts lately. You haven't posted anything worth my time so I'll start something for ya.
C and I used to have a great time on the motorcycles back in the day but with the idiots driving those 4 wheel monsters it became apparent that we needed to park the 2 wheelers and just play off road with the ATV's, etc. We missed the mountain riding though so I tried putting road tires on the Honda and played on the "dragon" on a couple of Christmas days but it wasn't quite the same.
Trump has been so good to us with the stock market we needed to liquify some of our investments and life is too short and can end at anytime so we've gone over to the darkside with a Polaris purchase. I know, I know, "NOT A POLARIS!", but unfortunately Honda doesn't make anything that comes close to this beast. We still have the Honda and we have a blast at Mary's Ridge but something was missing. Soooooo........................say hello to our new non Honda toy.

That is pretty cool Dr. F. I’m glad you’re able to find something else to go out and enjoy with the wife. I agree with the Polaris thing but what ya gunna do. Hopefully some good miles ahead. Bring a fire extinguisher and enjoy the ride. Cool rigI've been worried about you highschool dropouts lately. You haven't posted anything worth my time so I'll start something for ya.

Very Nice,,,,,👍That is why I got rid of My Harley , People are crazy I have had people pull out in front of me looking right at me, after You ride so long You get to thinking when is my luck going to run out, I always thought that if I did get another one it would be a 3 wheeler, better braking, more tire to the ground you don't have to worry about laying it down and it's not as big a deal if you get caught in a rain,,, Have Fun,,,,I've been worried about you highschool dropouts lately.

We weren't interested in just having just the top down. The HP to weight is excellent (1750 lbs - 175hp), handling and acceleration is like a corvette, (I've owned two). I feel a lot safer taking my Wife along with me. On the bike I always worried about her because if a cager wants you there is nothing you can do about it. Even a good rider, ( I had many hours on a track with two wheels, Triumph Daytona and Speed Triple) can't adjust quick enough to miss a cager. I could handle getting hurt but not hurting my Wife. Neither of us heal as quick as we used to either. 5 spd manual transmission with a real short throw takes me back to the days when that's pretty much all you had was a standard shift transmission. Rear tire on the SLR is 12 inches and will break free easily in three gears. You are 5 inches off the road and it just feels like a go-cart..lol. We talked about a "convertible" an to get the kind of fun we are having with the SS we would have to go to something that was a lot more money. The Miata would have been close but just didn't appeal to either of us. You need to go to a dealer and take one for a spin. You will be hooked.I've often wondered why people buy a slingshot versus a convertible? I've never taken the time to drive one to answer the question. Any insight you can offer?
Go-cart sounds like an accurate different feeling. I appreciate your thoughts on it. I've driven a hopped up Miata but it was definitely still a car. There is a dealership 10 minutes from my house. I've purposely avoided a test drive. I don't ride my Ninja much these days, but it gives me that motorcycle feeling that nothing else has been able to replace when I do suit up and take it out.We weren't interested in just having just the top down.
