    But marketing makes perception become fact, and Harley has some VERY good folks in their marketing division!

    Actually, H-D has had some very interesting bikes (trikes?). Go visit their museum. Very interesting.

    Why they never followed through with some of those ideas - - - -

    Damn!!

    You know, when I first saw one I was silly enough to think they couldn't make anything uglier than the Slingshot - so they just went out & made IT a whole lot uglier!!! More fool me!!

    The bruises and welts that'll be appearing on the heads of folks who bang their noggins on that rack, will be even uglier...

    Y'all be nice! [emoji12] [emoji1]

    I'm going to get my feelings hurt if y'all say I'm not pretty from behind..[emoji1] [emoji1]

    We crossed the 250hp mark somewhere in the middle of the year. I crossed the 300hp mark about 3 months ago. That was at 9.8psi of boost. I am now over 338hp at 12psi of boost.

    How has everyone been doing? I just thought I would defend my poor little slingshot this morning. [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji1]

    Also if anybody is in north Alabama and wants to ride just PM me on here. I still check my messages and read thru the post.

    RabTech,
    It's great to hear from you; old friend!!
    I know that you've got the horsepower figured out; are you making any progress on getting all of it to the ground??

    Here's hoping that you and yours have a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season!

    Thanks for posting the SS pictures Rabtech. I still like them a lot. No dealer here selling them yet--but there is one black one riding around. I have crossed paths three times with it now on my rides.

    I like everything on the looks but the rear view--sorry!

    Afraid that I would have ingress/egress issues due to my bad hip. I could probably get in, but would need EMS to help me get out.

    Enjoy your SS. I like everyone's rides. Regardless of brands.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    If you can get in it; just stay there!

    As far as "Pit Stops"; you'll have to send Linda into the Store once in a while for a fresh box of Depends...

    Thumbs down

    Harley can't keep up with the GOOD bikes so they come out with a pc of junk. I am NOT a fan of harleys as I am old school and think a harley is a guy with a wrench under the overpass. Most are too noisy and bug my ears badly. My dad rode Harleys and Indians and liked the Indians better as they were better made. Of course that was in the 20's and 30's when they made MOTORCYCLES!!!! that were good. Not sure what ya call em now!!!

    are we becoming so "Brand-Myopic"; that there is no room for acceptance of a ride other than our own??

    We are becoming that thing, that we hate the most!

    I dunno Bob.....

    Personally, I don't give a rat's what anyone else rides or drives, but no matter what horsepower they get or whichever way you look at it, those Scorpion's are still butt ugly!!

    I was thinking more like "2 unfinished additions" They started building on the 2 nd floor , then worked their way back down to the basement. I hope it has a 200lb weight limit or else sparks will fly at night :-(

    You may need a larger rear tire or 3 wheel drive..--I enjoy the thought but your traction will really suck...
