• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    New Triple Black F3 Limited

    Finally, at last. A dealer actually that had one sold one. I just test sat the F3T and Limited at the Progressive Motorcycle Show in Cleveland. Yep the bags are indeed small but nice to know that a half helmet will fit in there. I was thinking the frunk would hold two half helmets (my wife's...

    Progressive Motorcycle Show

    I went to Cleveland Ohio to the Progressive Motorcycle show, meeting my son there for a father & son outing. He lives near Columbus and I'm from Fostoria, over near Findlay. We took in the entire show. Lots of new machines from all the major manufacturers and the aftermarket as well. I got...

    Gas Mileage?

    Trike vs. Bike MPG Any trike or trike converted motorcycle including Can AM Spyders as well as sidecar rigs will only get about 2/3 to 3/4 the MPG of a 2 wheeled motorcycle. The increased weight plus greater aerodynamic wind resistance and add the increased rolling resistance & mechanical...

    Great Christmas Eve Ride

    I Rode Too I also got out for about a 25 minute ride on Christmas Eve Day. It was sunny, 53 degrees and windy but I enjoyed every minute of it.

    NYC Motorcycle Show

    Cleveland I-X Center The show will be in Cleveland Ohio the last weekend of January if my memory is correct (please correct me if I'm wrong on this). I haven't been to this show in several years but it used to occupy half of the building while a home & garden show was being prepared in the...

    Hoping everyone is taking advantage of this mild December

    Had a nice weekend I put over 120 miles on over the weekend just doing short local rides. It rained nearly all day yesterday but will stay dry today so I might take one more local run before topping off the gas tank for cold storage. It's supposed to be more like winter here this coming...

    Ordered the Clutch assist kit from BRP

    Clutch Assist It improves the leverage against the clutch springs which makes the clutch lever easier to pull and hold. I'm not sure how this is accomplished on a hydraulic clutch but it's pretty simple on a cable actuated one. Usually a longer arm on shaft at the clutch end.

    2015 Can Am Vulcan S

    Online Stupidity These dealers/managers who have clueless people posting their online advertising should at least look at what is being posted before it goes out. Many post really stupid this vs. that ads that put totally unrelated bikes/trikes against one another sometimes it's even a...

    rode yesterday

    I Agree, Nice Indeed I also got a couple of rides in each day, Friday , Saturday and Sunday. We had 66, 70 and 64 degrees F respectively those three days. El Nino has been a much appreciated gift this year.

    Why the dislike?

    Fitting-In Unnecessary I've never gone along with the crowd and never owned much less ever rode a Harley in my 45 years of owning and riding motorcycles. Fitting in has never been much of a deal to me. I haven't yet owned a Can Am Spyder but yet I am welcomed here. I have demo rode four of...

    F3 and BRP

    In Person I need to see the F3T and F3 Limited in person and test ride one before committing to purchasing one. That's what I did with the F3 back in April but decided I wasn't ready yet. When I'm ready I'll know it. Right now I'm riding what will no doubt be my last two wheeled motorcycle.

    Rider magazine cover and report

    Just got it in the mail. I just got the latest issue of Rider today. I immediately went to the cover article about the F3 Limited. They pretty much got it right and did a fair and honest assessment of the trike. I did also notice the mention about the drive belt vibration and that BRP is...

    Done for the winter

    My Last 2015 Ride I got to take a short ride on Thanksgiving Day and that was my last. Today being November 29th I am guessing it might be as much as 100 days until Spring weather arrives here in Northwest Ohio. That being said, If there are any days in the Winter season that get above 50...

    Sadddlebags

    Nice Saddlebags Corbin makes a nice looking set of saddlebags. I'm glad that the aftermarket has something for you guys with the F3 Spyders. I'm waiting it out to see what the new 2016 F3-T and F3 Limited saddlebags look like. In the pictures they look to be longer than the Corbins but no...

    Extremely Disturbing-No Joke!

    De-Gloving That's the term for that type of injury. The skin has been removed as in removing a glove. I imagine many months of skin grafting was involved afterword in order to save that foot.

    Is the F3 worth 7-10k more than a RSS to you?

    Demoed All Three For me, the riding position on the F3 works out best. My 62 year old achy knees don't like to bend. The Ufit +2" works best for my 32" inseam. I've demoed the original 2008 Spyder as well as a couple of RTs (a 2013 S and a 2014 S) and a 2015 F3-S. For me the F3 wins hands...

    Boy, I really like

    Personal Taste I don't much care for satin or flat paint finishes on vehicles but that's just me. I personally like the glossy red color on the new F3T & F3 Limited but If a person likes the satin black that's his business. To each his own.

    First Come the Snow, Then Comes the Salt/Brine

    Northwest Ohio We're not far from the main blast of winter coming through this weekend. The most we might get here is about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch of slushy snow along with the cold. Ironically we're supposed to be seeing temps of about 55 degrees on Thanksgiving day and Black Friday. I might...
