I got word from my dealer today that my slingshot should be delivered Monday. It's been a long 5 months waiting since my deposit was put down. If all goes well then I'll have it before Christmas. With weather being what it'll be, it may take a while before I can give a ride report. On legalities on using a neighboring state to get around a nonconforming one, say Texas or Indiana for example, there has been folks in those states registering their Slingshots in adjoining states to get around current bans. Not sure if anyone has done this in Maryland or Connecticut. Larry BTW: Texas & Indiana will most likely have their issues resolved after the first of the year.

Good news indeed James. I certainly hope your new year is healthy & stress free.

Paying it forward for the Squid

This may be late but give it a go next time you want to use the adapter. If the rod is still off a bit try turning the handle of the rod forward, then bend the rod just enough to be able to slip it into the last hole/frame tab. Next turn t handle 180* so it points rearward. That will tighten the adapter to the frame. Larry

I have used a RCBS single stage press & the related accessories for years now and it still gets the job done. I did have a Hornady progressive press for a while that was good but sold it to a shooting club member who wanted more speed in loading handgun ammo. For me the single stage is all I really need for loading up both quality rifle & handgun ammo. I use a mix both RCBS & Hornady dies depending on caliber. Yes component costs have gone up considerably but so has everything else in the shooting sports. With a good stockpile of components you can be selective when buying replacement items. Other than .22 rim fire I shoot reloads exclusively. First time reloaders should stick with a good reloading book. As mentioned max loads aren't needed for best accuracy or longevity of the firearm. Remember safety first & foremost. Larry

If the jack is positioned correctly the bike will lift up evenly. With my lift adapters you can take off either wheel and the bike will still stay level. I'll also mention that I've never strapped down a bike while using my adapters. They're that solid. Larry

Well Puck I'm still hanging here. For the most part just waiting for my Polaris dealer to call me when the Slingshot gets delivered. So far there's been less than 100 sold country wide to customers. But the pace is picking up quicker now. I did get a ride in one last week. A new owner of one from the east side came by the house. Man even as a passenger that trike is awesome to ride. I just hope the weather & roads are still good enough to drive it home when they do call. Note to the Fool - keep that machine of yours pointing away from me. Oh ya chatted with Ragtop Saturday on phone. He was picking my brain for fuel pump info.

Here's the info off my 83 Standard. Vin# JYA26H008DA003200 Build date 2/83 mileage 76500. Curious where this falls in the production sequence? Larry

Sorry I thought I saved them from the wrecked 05

I may have them. I'll check in the morning.

Happy Birthday Lonna. Wishing you a great day.

Works for me Don.

My marker puts me about half way between Detroit & Ann Arbor just north of I-94.

Missed this yesterday but offering good thoughts and my prayers today. Larry

The Fool must be either out of practice or swiveled the snow making machine south. No complaints here in south east Michigan as nothing but a few flurries so far.

Works good now.

Adding Seafoam and running the engine long enough till it got into the crabs is good but I feel draining them defeats the purpose. Also you run the risk of drying out seals & "O" rings. Oxidation can also cause problems later on too. Much better to keep the bowls full of fuel IMHO. Larry

Well Puc ole buddy I can't add much if anything to what others here have already said. Just gonna say I got you covered with some prayers and well wishes for you getting fixed up and back to your old self again. Let us know how things go with this new path your on. Larry

Sorry to hear of your continuing health problems Buddy. Same for having to sell off the bike & car but one does what they must at times like this. Hopefully we'll see you sometime next summer no matter what wheels you're using to get around in. Take care friend and hope the new doc can fine you some relief. Larry

And here I thought they were tipsy after visiting the local apple orchards and had gotten into some fermented mash.

Looks like you're still tweaking the classifieds cause the two ads I posted are gone now.

Time to get a shredder.

Yep Kevin nailed it.

Did we have a previous feature that when clicking on a topic we were sent directly to our last viewed post? Currently when we click a topic we go straight to the 1st post then need to try to remember where we last read at, thus re-surfing thru posts till we get where we last left off. Thanks, Larry

Just added 2 items so we'll see how it goes. Personally I didn't find the process difficult, maybe a few more steps but otherwise ok. Like anything in life change takes time to become familiar with features. It actually took me more time to find my pics than to fill in the blanks. Larry
