    Default Really...🤔

    Should be interesting. But as far as ryding gear (clothing) the only issue would be the price...they make good stuff, good looking and quality but I'm not telling them that....they know. Last time I told them they were doing good they dropped the RS.....

    Have to say me too. I bought a BRP textile and the tri tone leather (light grey/dk. grey/white) back in 2008 when first available. Still use them regularly in my riding apparel. They both look and act like new today. The price was "killer" for me when I pulled the trigger. Price has been the limiting factor for me also.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    John,
    If you tell them about your experience; it might help out the next guy who goes looking for the larger sizes...

    I have to say from my prospecive they are missing the boat as also a HD owner I can say I have a huge collection of HD apparel fom Dealers in every state I visit . So for me BRP needs to step it up on apparel as that is huge part of trying to get the culture of the younger motorcycle enthusiasts interested in Can-am. I understand that many owners don't agree but for me that's my view I'm just passionate about my F3S would love more comfort shirts , tees , vests , trendy stuff to get the word out 2 wheel are neat but 3 is the key .

    I gotta agree with Dave on this one. Every T-shirt that has anything to do with a Spyder is usually one or two colors at best, and pretty basic. At least the ones I have seen. I am not saying copy Harleys designs but their shirts are colorful, varied and interesting.

    I think what they really want besides feedback is your riding stories, friends you met because of the Spyder, places you've been because of the Spyder. How it may have changed your out look on riding in the wind because of the confidence you have riding on three wheels.

    UPDATE: I received an email asking me more about the accessories that I have added to my bike.
    Specifically; they have asked what I have added, why I added it, and if they are BRP accessories...
    I'll answer them, and let you know what they say (If anything...)

    I've been call a gorilla, just under 6 feet 300 pounds with long arms. So if I can't try it on I'm not buying it. Most of my riding gear comes from Harley dealerships or Cycle Gear stores. The only time I've purchased online is if I have tried the item on at a store/dealership but the price is lower online.

    They told me not to give up on my dreams, so I went back to sleep.
