WackyDan Finally retired the 08 GS for a 2017 F3-S SM6 Blue

[WackyDan]

I waited...And I waited. Year after year. Model announcement after model announcement. Always saw something I liked, but just kept holding back. F3 came out and I loved it... Still waited to see what the after market would do for it. Then I put some expensive repairs into the GS in 2015 so I decided to run it for another year.

This year at Spyderfest, I saw a lot of great options for the F3 to turn it into the touring machine that my GS was. I met Fencepost there and saw his V35 mounts and that really brought it all together for me.

I was pricing 2015 and 2016 leftovers and found some good deals, but manuals were hard to find. Ultimately, my local dealer was the only local dealer who pre-ordered some 2017's and the one I got was the only manual to be had. I decided not to pass it up and to be honest, their out the door price was just a hair cheaper than the other dealers but the other dealers told me I'd have to wait until February to get a 2017. My local dealer is Matthews Fun Machines. Love their service department. Had a hard time working a deal with them on my GS way back when so I bought the GS from another dealer. This time they gave me the right deal.

So there you have it. I'll be more active here than I have been. I already started taking the thing apart and getting some ideas. Old GS is going up for sale tomorrow. So if you know someone looking for a used, well equipped spyder that was exceptionally and lovingly maintained, let me know.

Nice looking F3 but be honest, is it any faster or better than the RS?

That blue color is gorgeous on your new ride

Gave up my 08' Spyder as well for an F3-S, back in 2015.

Man I love those Givi 41's on yours. The paint lines/design just plain go with the bike...

I'm doing V35's though.

I waited...

Blah, blah, blah. The real question is: How is Leah doing? About six now, right?

Congratulations on your new Spyder from the UK. Love the colour that I am going to see one in the flesh at some point to see if I still like colour.
