    Thanks.

    Yes, I imagine the Mods will step in when necessary.

    I had enjoyed this Forum in the past as it was just starting. Absolutely, this Forum is a wealth of knowledge and comradery. I was (very) interested in a Can Am for a long time but Life kept getting in the way. At 73 now I figured I better step up or miss out. LOL

    To All,

    Thank You for the warm Welcome and Well Wishes.

    I went on a 1.5 hour ride this afternoon (loved it) and was properly initiated by an idiot in a pickup who pulled out directly in front of me and then abruptly stop. Luckily was able to swing handlebar to right and get stopped. At this point I was blocked in and just shook my head, waiting, as he finally figured out he had to move his vehicle.

    Here is a pic that was taken at F & T Motorsports, San Benito, TX. I bought it at their main location in Pharr, TX but took possession in San Benito, TX at their new dealership site.

    As for the STS thing, there's a whole lot of members here who still remember the early ST model Spyders, for which the abbreviation STS or ST's was used extensively; so with the arrival of the newer models, the abbreviation of S2S has been widely adopted here for the more recent Sea to Sky versions!

    So if you want to avoid any chance of confusion, it's probably best if you use S2S, unless of course, you really ARE referring to a 2016 or earlier V-Twin powered ST?!
