    Hey, doesn't matter what 2 wheeler you ride, or 3 wheeler, or car, truck, SUV, etc.... there will always be critics, but who's opinion matters most ? ... your own opinion... well your own opinion is a close second to the most important opinion... your spouse... if you don't believe me, just ask her 🤔😅
    RJ, your Slingshot looks really cool and a ton of fun 👊😁👍👍

    That Polaris looks great with the roof on, gives it a hot-looking angle - nice. Super-happy you're loving it and having good times, love it mate. That was so funny that your camera is so keen to interpret hand movements as a stop-recording command. After watching your video, if these were available in Australia and I had the money to buy one, I would be googling for them right now - absolutely love it, so awesome. Can't wait for the riding footage!

    • @602North

      Thanks Nic! I’m surprised they don’t export there since they do Indians. Could be they don’t pass safety standards there. I do have some footage for b-roll I’ll use soon plus, with the roll cage , there are so many additional places to mount cameras!

    Great review. My long-time friend TriMark MC (Mark Bolek) loves his Sling. In Tennessee, unless it has a roof (roll bars) you must wear a helmet. He just uses a half helmet. They fit fine in the behind the seat storage.

The rain the cold I can handle. The heat I still dress long sleeve boots long pants rain gear always packed. Helmet sunglasses.! Gloves summer n winter . ( gloves).
    If it’s a bike the fuel is the same ? Handles similar to a bike? 4 cycle? Is this bike - as a 1200 Harley? That’s what I ride. Motorcycle oil? I love it!!! You explained greatly.! I understood.

    I guess I’m one of the car guys. I just got an email for these. They LOOK fun and that’s a big factor in buying things like this. HOWEVER……… at 37 plus thousand dollars, you’d have to be out of your mind or rich. I can have just as much fun in say a 2019 corvette with 50k miles for less than that. And you’d have trunk space and have more safety features. Not to mention the performance differences. The corvette would run circles around the slingshot. And if it started raining, put the top on, close the windows and turn on the ac. They’d have to drop that price in half before I’d even consider buying one.
    But I am a true automotive enthusiast and can respect anyone’s differences. If you like it that’s all that matters.
