.... they've got some nice stuff in there! This 1948 Chief was not for sale, but I did come home with two new helmets.
They also had a red Polaris Slingshot. Trish thought it was silly; for the money you could buy a bike, a sidecar and a trailer; you can carry more junk and one of us will stay dry.

Regarding the Slingshot, I probably wouldn't have given them a second look, but I decided I wanted a Morgan three wheeler first. You know, just because. Then I saw the Slingshot pricing. Wow, what a (relative) bargain! It's somehow totally different though and I still want the Morgan pretty bad despite the outrageous price.
Dude, "Indian" is not the preferred nomenclature. "Native American," please.
I have to agree with Trish on the Slingshot. It's silly looking. People do love them though. I see tons of them out and about on weekends. Apparently, yellow is the only color they sell too. I suppose if you are unable to ride a 2 wheeler for some reason it's as close as you can get.
Hacks are cooler in stories than from the seat I think. That Indian looks beautiful. I never really rode one like you are supposed to - I paddled a Ural around a parking lot a bit at a test ride at the show in Philly. Do not want. I like that other people love them and take pictures riding in deep snow with dogs in goggles in the sidecar ... but if I get to the point where two wheels are not an option it's a cool old sports car for me.

Nice toy, sorry about your penis.

I prefer two wheels, but that looks like fun to me. Don't try grabbing my junk like you did that guys either.
The slingshot is like a crusier classic car. Same demographic is purchasing both.. Old dudes who have more money than sense. They are toys, no more no less.
Track weapon? Nope..
The morgan gets a pass due to the history and wodden frame.. YEEHA

That toy looks more practical than, say an airplane without an engine... Why can't he have a toy without the ridicule. Toys are cool.

There is a guy who drives(rides?) a Slingshot to a site I go to for work. He parks it in the designated motorcycle parking and it makes me chuckle every time I see it there. I've had rental cars with a similar footprint. Not sure if I would park it with the actual bikes. Seems silly to me.

For giggles you should leave a note on it that says "This parking is for motorcycles only, scooters and tricycles go in the normal lot"

I'd take the extra wheel and get a KTM X-Bow over any of them (or exocet or atom for that matter), though I won't deny the cool factor of the Morgan, which is the only wood in this thread that I'd touch (not that there's anything wrong with that).
why is "sorry about your penis" the go-to way to insult people that own a sports car and/or jacked up 4X4 pickup?
it just seems kind of gay to always be thinking about other dude's junk like that.. not that there's anything wrong with that, of course, but why can people just like different things?
Did I tell you I went to the Indian store? Nice stuff there.
Was there any Scouts there? I really dig those.
where do Indians fall on the Black/White/Asian scale of stereotypes regarding junk size? I mean they're not crotch rockets (compensating and trying to land slam pigs) or Harleys (ED treatment needed)

What's a slam pig? My bike is considered a crotch rocket I guess, so I need to know what I'm looking for!
