    We might be treading on thin ice here--unless Lamonster is going to start a new website and start selling the Slingshots.

    Surprised at all the action the Slingshot is getting--three or four active threads so far, and they are not even an official sponsor yet.

    Me, I am enjoying all the banter about the slingshot, but we may be on borrowed time.

    Default It is cool.

    I did call my local dealer to be called when one is on the showroom floor. I'm 5'9'' 200lbs and curious if I can fit in it. I'm worried that I will, lol. This is not good, I just got my sm6 rt in June. It's been really hot here in las Vegas and have only ridden a little over 400 miles.

    CafeJim, I ride the freeways around Las Vegas almost daily on my Spyder and it doesn't faze me at all but the thought of sitting a few inches off the ground in one of these Slingshots scares the crap out of me. Plus I would need a booster seat to get out of it.


    PS I just checked and slingshotlovers.com and slingshotowners.com domain names are already taken.

    Default Different Audience

    I'm thinking Spydie appeals to an audience with a touch (or a whole bunch) of gray whereas the Slingshot is targeting a younger "balls to walls" type of audience. The thing DOES look exciting, but I personally do not need that much excitement in my life at this point in time. However, I do thoroughly enjoy my Spyder!!!

    Ann, this is my first summer in lv heat. I'm used to riding back roads in NY like grahamsville, woodstock and rhinebeck. Cloud cover and tree lined roads are what I'm used to.

    Default Another time and place.

    I'm happy with my RT sm6. The Slingshot is interesting but I don't see myself in one. I believe most of us see ourselves riding/driving the vehicles we own prior to purchase. I would buy an elio if they ever get produced. The spyder is a replacement for two wheels imho.

    Hi Roger,

    Re: Rattigan_Roger's Slingshot Laser Alignments and RR's Slingshot sway (or is that anti-sway?) bars commin' up....

    And just think if you had gotten in on the ground floor with Microsoft.



    Opportunity awaits,

    Is Pennsylvania a State that does not legislate the mandatory use of helmets?
    Would you ride in it without one?
