    Default Word of the day...badass

    Seems like every time I ride the Spyder F3 I have some cool story that I could tell but there are so many of them I just forget to. For sure the one word I hear all the time is "badass", that seems to best describe the F3. I had a kid in his 20's pull up in a nice Ram truck as I was getting ready to pull out of the parking lot and he said "Is that a Can-Am Spyder?" and I said yep, then he said "I've seen a lot of those running around town but that one is "badass".

    So the other day Jacob Tinker and I were running to lunch and we were hotroding a bit I might add and we were pulled up at a light with Jacob in front and a cop pulls along side with his window rolled down and said "nice paint job" to Jacob, then he said "That thing is "badass" and Jacob thanked him and we pulled away as responsible adults for the first time that day. It's really cool how you feel when you're riding the F3 but having people tell you how "badass" your Spyder is just makes your day.

    They definitely are badass looking stock, and you take it up a few notches on your machines! I sometimes find the attention these things draw to be almost annoying, but in a good way I guess.

    Default Varies...

    I find the sport RS, RSS, F3 and some ST models, stripped clean, get the "badass" call the most. Then some of the wraps and paint jobs get the most..

    Badass does indeed cover the description of the F3. That is even what I said when sitting on an orange version at my dealers showroom.

    Can't afford a third in my garage at this time--but would sure go back and look at the F3 if I were in the market again.

    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.

    While I REALLY like it's "Bass-Ass" looks; it just doesn't feel as comfortable to me, as the RT does...

    "Honey, does this Spyder make my ass look bad?"

    Seriously though, I have heard badass a few times myself. I even had a Pepsi big rig driver jokingly offer his truck, and the all the soda inside, as trade.

    I loved the show and I love the look of this 'General Lee' bike. Not overdone. I am a minimalist when it comes to my bikes and it suits my liking.
