shout out from Texas
greetings fellow Spyders
newbie here from north central Texas checking in
short bio, have been on and off bikes for over 47 years, recent back surgery has removed me from the two wheel crowd, truth be know I'm really happy it did, wife and I are really enjoying the 2015 F3S we just picked up last Saturday. great forum here, used it to do a lot of research before my purchase. looking forward to learning from the wise old timers and hope to be able to add some of my past experiences

I'm getting to be in the same boat so-to-speak. I had two retina reattachment surgeries on the same eye in ten days. I'm also having lower back and knee issues making handling a big two wheeler a challenge in and out of my garage and backing out as well as low speed maneuvers with my legs pushing the weight. A real challenge would be if the nearly 900 pound bike would ever drop and I wouldn't be able to get it back up. Now that the eye is questionable I'm really thinking this a good time to make the switch to three wheels. I need to feel safer and more secure, especially if my wife wants to ride as passenger. My local dealer has a new leftover 2016 Spyder F3T reduced in price and that might be the ticket. Congrats on you getting your F3, I'm sure it was the right choice.

Greetings from Ohio and welcome even though I am not yet a Spyder owner. I am in a similar situation with a bad back and two bad knees. I also had to have retina surgery on my right eye and that too is questionable as to whether or not I'll get 100% vision in it. That makes me feel a whole lot less than secure trying to go back out on two wheels. Fortunately the two nearest dealers have left-over Spyders discounted. Hopefully I'll get back in the saddle again as you have, on a Can Am that is.
