Many thanks to CR member Derek (ponyjr) who has worked with me on this since early December. Iron Pony has done a great job on every aspect of the sale, and I look forward to continued good experience as their service customer.

 

It's my entry in the Smoky Mountain Rally this July. Wish me luck! :)

What exactly is the slingshot determined as? Bike? Car? Trike? Reminds me of a bat mobile style t-Rex.

 

In California it's registered as a car. Ohio and other states consider it a motorcycle. For a few weeks, it wasn't legal on Texas roads, but now it can be registered there as a motorcycle, too.

 

I will prolly suit-up as if I were riding a motorcycle (including a full face helmet), considering there's nearly no protection and no air bags.

Looks fun! Any of them boosted yet? :p

 

Polaris doesn't have a turbo kit out yet, but I understand it's on the way.

 

Numerous owners have slapped a turbo on. I'm told it's pretty straightforward. I imagine I'll wait until it's out of warranty to do much to it.

Looks good Doc. Nice to see you back on two, er, three wheels again.
