I'm finally on the road riding now. After a long winter nap and my completed steering rack recall getting done today. This with having owned this machine since 2 days before Christmas. Ya finally out of the garage.
With only a little over 100 miles on the odometer it's to early to give a report but I can say what I've experienced so far I'm a happy triker.

Congrats Larry ThumbUp
I'm sure it will be all you wanted and thought it was.

Remember now,,, if ever back down this way visiting the Crazy Don of West TN, I expect a visit with full Presentation to include a chauffeured Demo Ride :D
I might even spring for some gas money. Premium 91 Octane gas at that :laugh:
 
I was at my dealer Tuesday, And I was going to chance a test ride.. If I liked it I might be temped to get one, They said that they sold every one, They have two more coming in and they're sold also so no test rides.... That's a good thing for me .I've been spending too much on my toys lately..

Is that even possible?
 
Had a nice ride today. About 175 miles total, mostly country roads at 45-50mph, a little in town , and maybe 5-8 miles on the x-way. Previous mpg was 20.5 according to the instrument panel gages, today it showed 31.5mpg.
Handling was great. No matter the road or speed being driven. Seats were comfy as well. No backaches for either of us. Love those bucket seats. Wife & I are happy we made the move to the Slingshot.

Hello Larry. Glad you are on the road and having a great time. I remember meeting at your home after you just came back from a ride in Nov of last year. You looked real happy then so I am sure the smile riding your own Slingshot is from eye to eye. I am just getting ready to put your spare gas tank in my venture and then just wait for the rain to clean the roads before I go out for a ride.

Take care. PaulIMG_20140418_133607.jpg
 
Looks like this coming week will be a good time to get some work done on the trike. Someone left the door open in Canada letting in all that cold air. Brrrrr :mad:

Hello Larry. Too cold right now to do much. Going to feel like -4 F Sat morning when I go to work. No Global Warming here. It was snowing this afternoon!!!!:mad:

Taking a couple of days off next weekend (Easter) to work on the trike. Will let you know how it goes.
