 Slingshot sighting
I saw a Slingshot on the road today. I live near the worlds biggest Polaris dealership. Maybe it was a demo ride, or maybe they are being shipped to new owners now.

I'm sure it's a fun ride but it doesn't have the appeal that the Spyder did for me when I first saw one.

I'd like to try one but seems more like an ATV or mini-car than a motorcycle?

Was it around Watkins?

Isn't it weird that in AMERICA our flag and our culture offend so many people......
but our benefits don't?

I'd like to rent one in a fun part of the country, but I could never see it replacing my Spyder.

Yes it was near Watkins, I live a few miles from Mies Outland.

How far are you from Roseau? It might be worth taking a ride... 
(Or have they moved operations from there?)

Sat in one at the old Harley Dealership in Daytona for Biketoberfest. Can't really give an opinion about it. You do sit mighty low and the metal engulfs you like a cage convertible.

Oh I'm a good 300 miles south of Roseau. I think they still make the snowmobiles and atv's up there. I'm only guessing but I bet the Slingshot comes out of the atv factory and not the motorcycle factory. I might go ride one in the near future, but I'm quite sure I would never buy one.

It looks cool and would be fun on a closed racetrack, but how could it ever replace the feeling of motorcycling/trikeing?

I just read the article on 'Motorcycle.com' and the comments at the end.
Man, there are a lot of haters of anything that has three wheels !

They can hate all they want - it's the future. Safety, fun, cost, etc. More and more of them are hitting the US roads.

If you are wide, will you be able to fit. For example, I was able to sit in the Elio and I was able to fit in there.

Roseau is way NW in MN Used to be for snow machines. I believe the mfg. facility for bikes, is down by the Twin Cities (Mpls, St. Paul) suburbs now.
