Harleys attempt to compete with the Spyder??

[vided]

Hopefully enough for it to completely fold and disappear in a ditch:thumbup:

The Slingshot scares me! It looks like a death trap. At least on a motorcycle or Spyder, one could abandon ship if need be! The thing is so low to the ground that I really don't think that most cage drivers would even see it. My Dodge Ram, Big Horn, 400HP, Hemi powered 4x4 could easily run over the entire vehicle at idle in 4 wheel drive. I have a farm in a rural area, with lots of Agri machinery driving around everywhere and being around some of it can be disconcerting, even in a large Pickup:yikes:

Sam:yes:

I sat on a Slingshot last year just to get the feel of it, it is hard to get in but even harder to get out, also been 3 inches off the ground looks scary, seems like if i saw a small rock on the road i would be worried about my arse being scratched:yikes:

If HD did make a Can Am style bike they would out sell BRP's all time sales in 2 years or less, just because it's a HD.

Harley isn't ready to bring out the Penster...
They are a very traditional Company, and their Tri-Glide and Free-Wheel cater to their perceived market perfectly.

No way in the world that a person can ride a Herley 3 wheeler as agressive as we can ride the Spyders, my wife wont let me ride hers no more , she says i'm gonna break it!! ( The spyder)pps:

 

[Bob Denman]

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

 

[Joe T.]

:agree::roflblack: with the stering wheel they in the slingshot market! This was more spyder like

also HD fyi

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 - - - -

Well open house & bbq today @ HD & new slingshot came by with the "roof" rack :joke: looked "cagey" & were getting away with no helmets

yall know I cant ever post pics rightside up:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

 

[Peter Aawen]

Damn!! :yikes::yikes::yikes:

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!! :sour:

 

[Bob Denman]

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

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!! :clap:
I know that you've got the horsepower figured out; are you making any progress on getting all of it to the ground?? :bowdown:

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

 

[ARtraveler]

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! :roflblack:

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. :roflblack:

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

 

[Bob Denman]

If you can get in it; just stay there! :thumbup:
That's what the Drive-through windows are for!
As far as "Pit Stops"; you'll have to send Linda into the Store once in a while for a fresh box of Depends... :yikes:

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!!!

 

[Bob Denman]

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

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

 

[Peter Aawen]

I dunno Bob..... :sour:

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!! :shocked:
