I drove a Slingshot (they always have them for demo at Daytona Bikeweek) once. At the first take-off, once I got out on the road, I gave it the business and realized the major flaw of that design. The drive wheel is in the middle of the lane, where the oil strip is. I was fishtailing all over the road. 🤣 Yep. You found the other major problem. At higher speeds, the steering being on the rear makes it very sensitive.
Great job. A buddy of mine has a slingshot. He said in the rain he would much rather be on a motorcycle than in this. He said the rear tire hydrplanes really bad. When he was climbing some hills down here in Virginia he said the back tire would break loose and he would somewhat lose control. Your a natural at doing these types of videos 👍
Such fun!! You have a special gift to make it seem that we're right there with you! Enjoyed every minute. The cup holder is a great gift for the dyna. And me, I spent the afternoon stacking firewood. I definitely do not have my priorities right! From the Vet.
This is the first video that I’ve seen somebody actually doing a test ride of one of these. Are used to go to the American rally and I see him every year, but never took a ride in one and to be honest after watching this video, I would love one of these things but the price I’m sure is way out of my price range but damn that’s cool. I would be fun to take a cross-country trip with one of those.
What a fun diversion for you and for us! Slingshots are definitely fascinating little machines, 'tho they'll not replace motorcycles for me. Thank you for the ride-along!
Thanks for the ride Angel, enjoyed it as usual, my son was thinking about buying one of those, but bought a Honda Talon instead, seems like it goes pretty well, what's the selling price for those ? Ride careful sweety and keep the rubber side down and shiny side up !! 😘✌
Looks to be loads of fun! Having the manual tranny would be the only way to go! I grew up on geared cars and trucks. They were always fun to rip around in. I know some people equate those to a motorcycle, but anything with a steering wheel is definitely a car by my way of thinking. If I had one of those to fool around in, I would get in so much trouble. I'd probably have a roll cage installed, just in case lol. Great video and a nice change of pace. Ride and stay safe up in your beautiful B.C.!
Right now, all the local Kalona fellas are saying, "Man, did you see that badass chick flying around in that Slingshot?" You handled that thing like a pro too! "Angel, the two-laned legend"! Eric in Kissimmee.
I use the Rode Wireless Go 2 and I normally have an Apex head mic plugged into that so that I can get the mic close to my mouth when on the road. I use it on my bike too.
Looks like fun . Of course its different but thats what life is about , trying new things opens the mind ...on another thing ... Angel..you should block nasty people like michaelmiller6603 from commenting on your channel ....dont give trolls like him a platform
The Polaris company is well done, they, like the BRP, have a lot of interesting equipment: excellent ATVs and buggies. But such a technique is a hostage to the image: as if it was created for the son of a famous lawyer or the son of a prosecutor. And it's strange to me, why is the gearbox not a variator? I'm sorry for my babbling 😂 I'm just an old bore 😂 Как можно предлагать технику с Механической коробкой передач за такие деньги, сыну депутата будет просто лень переключать самостоятельно все эти скорости 😂😂
When I demo rode a Slingshot, I found the engine was very loud. Making it near impossible to talk to my Wife in the passenger seat, unless coming up to a stoplight. Safe Travels.
Is that a rear wheel steer Red; I’d liked video more had you worn a helmet ; lol I’m a papa and a dad; I’m sure it wouldn’t take away from the experience; another great video hun 👍👍👍
Yo Red, OldManify ? Is that a Canuck term ? 😅😂🤣 You're starting to show your age 🎂 when you mount a cup holder on your Motorsickle handlebars. Jus Sayin😉 You Meet the Nicest People on a Honda Valkyrie. Keep the Shiny Side Up ✌️😘♥️😎🇺🇸
Now... if it could only lean a bit..... or a lot 😁 , into the curve like a bike does as you make a turn..... ( As long as it limits the lean so that if you do a sharp 90,..... it doesn't turn into a Disney Ride, lol ) Stay Safe
You have 1 up on me, my sportster, I have turn signals and a break light, I have no speedometer, have no fuel gauge, I take the cap off shake the tank,or my finger is the float, put my finger in the gas tank if I feel gas I don't need gas, if I dont feel gas on my finger I need gas, one way of doing it,
Definitely wouldn’t say it’s my taste either when it comes to fast cars, in general, I like old school muscle. But it was fun for a little afternoon rip! 😅
I think it's the most ridiculous thing they've ever put on the highway it's not a motorcycle it's not a car I don't care for but that's my opinion but I like your channel Desert demon Evo chopper rider

Good point about the tire in the center of the lane.
Yea the rear tire was breaking loose a bit haha. But the steering is on the front, not the rear.
@RedRiderCanadaBC Oh. 🤔 Did I drive something else, or was I simply confused? 🤷♂️
3 wheels more fun than 2???? dammmm..... defantly not a shopping trolly lol..... ya so lucky to get to play with the new toys.. cheers Red
It was pretty fun haha

Thanks! I had fun 😁 And yea, I could see the rear tire being an issue for sure.

Thanks 😁 I appreciate that!
Here in Arizona, since they have three wheels, they follow motorcycle rules. So you get to ride in the carpool lane which is a benefit.
Lucky you had your 'wings' tucked in... 👍🐾😬
Wow Angel, you can be a real lead foot when you want to be. It really suits you as well. Keep up the great job, all the best from Australia.
✌️😁
Awesome video, I never pictured going fast in one of those maybe the one wheel it seems to easy to roll.

They are around 45,000 here in Canada
Very cool Red, great driving!
Nothing better than fresh coffee in the wind :)!
Oh yea hahah
Cool machine. Thanks for the ride, Angel.
Any time!
What a fun diversion for you and for us! Slingshots are definitely fascinating little machines, 'tho they'll not replace motorcycles for me. Thank you for the ride-along!
They won't replace anything for me either, but was fun!
Sling shot looks good on you!
That looked like a blast!!😊
bloodly awesome vid what a fun toy I could almost see my self in 1 lol 🤘🤘🤘

Hooray for manual transmissions! Man that thing is cool.
It was pretty fun hahah
Sounds turbo

Sooo much fun! 😁
Yes it was!
Nice beautiful machine did it have a radio. Kool video
Yep, its got a good stereo
That was a really cool video Red! How did it handle the bumps? Did it absorb them pretty well or is the suspension really stiff?
It didn't seem too stiff on the bumps.
You enjoyed it.
Was fun for a try
Cool gifts! I'm jelli looking at that bell...
Cool eh!
That thing is too cool
Fun times!
Hell yea ✊ bacon
That looked like fun, but not fun enough to replace two wheels !!
Lol nope
🆒 Video Angel !!!
Thanks!
@@RedRiderCanadaBC Welcome !!!
What microphone are you using? Decent quality even exposed as it is.
I use the Rode Wireless Go 2 and I normally have an Apex head mic plugged into that so that I can get the mic close to my mouth when on the road. I use it on my bike too.
Ya.... I still want one more or one less wheel , I guess I'm too soy for just 3. It did kinda look like you were in a video game tho 😊
Haha it was fun for a try
In most helmet law states in the lower 48, the slingshot is classified as a motorcycle and requires a skid lid. :(
🤔 not here!
Made me wonder if Knox was still closed!
You can hike up
I wanted to ride but I'll just check it next time I'm up there, would've been a blast in that Slingshot! @@RedRiderCanadaBC
Looks like fun . Of course its different but thats what life is about , trying new things opens the mind ...on another thing ... Angel..you should block nasty people like michaelmiller6603 from commenting on your channel ....dont give trolls like him a platform
Thank you, I do have a few people blocked who just make rude comments. And it's different but was quite fun haha.
Your killing it always wanted to take one out looked like fun you should of got that fifth gear tho 😂
I did get fifth on those straight stretches lol
I saw slingshot and clicked automatically. Unfortunately, it was not what my dirty mind thought, lol. JK Angel, stay safe, keep up the good work.
💜
🙂
Looks like fun,
It was!
I approve this message…
😁
Good video
Thanks 👍
Nice
If the local cops start watching your videos, they're going to be on to you.
😬
Sounds like a race car,
Yikes ! I nearly polished off a half gallon of ice cream watching. (1.89 liters I looked it up.)
Hahah yum!

It's steers by the front wheel, rear wheel steer would make this thing a death trap for sure lol

Slingshots are death traps
I can see that for sure haha
Hello.
👋
Mmmmmm, no. Goofy. Sorry Angel, that’s why there’s cars… lol
Definitely wouldn’t say it’s my taste either when it comes to fast cars, in general, I like old school muscle. But it was fun for a little afternoon rip! 😅
More miata than motorcycle.

I think I would just want to lock the front brakes up and see if it could spin a donut Have fun girl
