    Default Picked up my New Sea To Sky!

    I am new to the forum and hope to get a few tips on this ride.

    Picked up my new Sea to Sky last Friday. Getting to know the ins and outs of this amazing three-wheeler. I am getting close to 71 years of age and a two-wheeler is not an option. I wanted to have fun riding with my wife and holding off the old age man, lol.

    Welcome aboard! Beautiful ride. I am 76 and had never ridden 3 wheels until 6 months ago. Be ready for a learning curve and remember just relax and let the Spyder do its thing. But after you learn to relax you will love the 3 wheel experience, just remember it is not a 2 wheeler and never will be. Hope you and your wife will enjoy many more years of riding.

    I'm call my F3 my Mobility Scooter.

    When I got it I let my older Sister know I had sold my GL1800 and picked up a mobility scooter with 2 seats and storage.

    She was a bit worried as I live on a hill, very narrow road and no footpaths, she was very concerned I might get run down.
    Offered some counseling and warnings about staying safe.

    I let her go on for a bit for a week or so. Then sent a photo and some info on performance. Yep. I got told.

    I am confident you'll be happy with your new ride and I'm sure you'll be getting the itch for add-on farkles.

    Very nice.
    My local dealer has a 22 STS left over. Army green color. They can't give it away... the green just isn't tripping any local triggers.
    You'll be getting an itch soon for some changes, and the weight loss program your bank account is on will fill you with shock and awe.
