• 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.

    Forever mystified by Can Am's lack of style...

    Back in 2019 when I was researching which Spyder to purchase, I decided that the F3-S Special Series was the one for me. At the time, I really would have preferred an all black model but the SS only came in the Titanium metallic with the bright orange frame. It was a bit loud for my taste...

    Any experiences you can share about Elka vs Wilber rear shocks?

    I have an Elka Stage 5 rear shock on my F3S. It has remote adjust-ability for high and low speed compression and spring pre-load. I change the settings when I switch between riding two-up with my wife or if I'm solo. Sometimes, but rarely, I can reach down while I'm riding and adjust the high...

    FedEx is the worst!!!

    As long as you're not in desperate need for the package, there is a certain "entertainment factor" watching what happens with a FUBAR situation like this.

    Anthony Joshua/Jake Paul 'boxing' match

    I think Paul was just hoping he could land a lucky blow. But Joshua was just too good a boxer to let that happen.

    Look at this forecast for the coming week here in CT! Yeah, I'll be riding. I was out the other day and it was 32 degrees and I was perfectly comfortable in my snowmobile gear.

    What has been your experience with Tire Plug Kits?

    A couple of years ago, I came back from a snowmobile saddlebag trip to find my trailer had a flat. I used a plug type to fix it and it has been fine ever since.

    It's absolutely a beautiful clear day here in Connecticut today. 1 to 3 inches of snow forecast for the weekend. I'll be taking the bike out for a ride today. High of 34 degrees F.

    FedEx is the worst!!!

    I've had similar problems with FedEx on big box items. UPS is much better. I've also had a bad experience with warranty service from the items purchased at Home Depot or Lowes. From now on I'll buy from a small local power equipment dealer if I can.

    Which AfterMarket fuel filter do you use for your F3?

    My buddy had a leak on one of his fuel lines on his 2015 F3S. These things are reaching the age where you really have to inspect everything more closely now.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I tried that too.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Yeah, it's always been this way on this bike. The last time I did it, it only took one or two tries and I thought - "I've got this down now!", only to be humbled again this time.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I've done a few things over the last month. In preparation for my big ride to North Carolina (see Ride Reports), I did a fresh oil and filter change, adjusted the drive belt and checked everywhere I could for any potential problems. After I came home from the ride, found out that my cheap Nofomo...

    Madstad out of business - Sept 2025

    FYI I went online to see if I could buy some replacement mounting hardware (the rubber well nuts) for my Madstad windshield. Found out that they closed their doors back in September. I found what I think are the right pieces on Amazon. When they come in tomorrow I'll see if they're correct...

    Introducing myself and my 'Batmobile'.

    When I was researching the purchase of my 2020 F3S, I read all the bad reports regarding the rear shock. So I factored in getting an Elka shock as part of the total cost of getting the bike. At the time, I weighed about 215 lbs and my wife is about 140. We were bottoming out on the stock...

    Can Am Spyders Resale value isn't great...

    I tend to buy a toy and keep it forever, so I'm not concerned about any resale or trade-in value. I bought my Spyder new in 2020. At the time a used F3 was only maybe $1500 less than the new one, but the new one had better features that I wanted, plus 3 yrs warranty. So it made sense (in my...

    Nov 2025 Bucket list trip to North Carolina and back, over 2400 miles.

    Saturday Nov 8. We had to decide whether or not to try to get home from Front Royal in one day or split it into two. The weather forecast was for rain coming in Sunday morning and we wanted to get ahead of that. But we didn't want to have to drive the last hour or two home in the dark Saturday...

    Nov 2025 Bucket list trip to North Carolina and back, over 2400 miles.

    Thursday Nov 6. Time to start the ride back home. We weren't going to push hard to get home in two days. We wanted to enjoy taking in as much of the Blue Ridge Parkway and then the Skyline Drive in Virginia as possible while making our way back North. Our plan was to get to Roanoke, VA area. We...
