Went last year. It was stupid-fun. Got about an hour on each one out on the road. Able to ride an F3, RTL & Ryker.
Went to a "Can Am on road experience" today. LOT of fun. I've been so happy with my beloved STS, but have to say the F3/RTs are impressive. Not turning my nose up at the Ryker, but it wasn't for...
Shiney black F3 on Mitchell St in Cadillac, MI Sat Sept 11.
Saw 2 yesterday, Sunday July 18 in Swartz Creek MI. One blue RT on Miller Rd by Van Vleet Rd. Another one a few miles away on Morrish Rd by Miller (a Ryker).
Mikey mentioned "the pucker factor"... First time I had the better half on the back, I could've turned a lump of coal into a diamond! :roflblack: You get the feel for it pretty quick though
Looking to pick up a used passenger backrest for my '14 STS. I think it's part # 219400350. Thanks
Dark RT at Lapeer Rd & Drahner/Glaspie
Have a white STS & had real good luck with Turtle Wax Ice Seal & Shine last season. Spray on/off in no time flat. They have some new stuff out recently called Ice Hybrid Solutions that's getting...
Ryker at a red light, eastbound 14 Mile Rd at Coolidge in Royal Oak, MI. First one I've seen on the road in the area. 11am Saturday. :thumbup:
Thanks guys. I got the needle nose pliers (Vice Grips) on it but it wouldn't budge. Finally cried uncle & had dealer do it. They put in a new plug, too. I'm set to do the next oil change nyself...
Sure. I was kind of in the same spot as you. Rode the RS, ST & a '15 F3. Liked the F3. Rode the RS & liked it a lot... Then hopped on the ST & it just seemed to "fit". Very comfortable for me. ...
Post #4 has a really good comparison chart. Tried to copy/paste but no luck. I have an STS & really enjoy it:

I just stole this & used it in a text. This kind of stuff is right up my alley :2thumbs:
Haven't had a chance to mess around with it yet. Have new OEM plugs, & did order the 2 gold plugs for next oil change. Hopefully that sucker will be off by the time I get the Gold Plugs, anyway
Thanks everyone. Really enjoying the bike so far. Stuff happens, though.
I recently pulled the trigger on a '14 STS. Debated a lot between that & an F3. Got a great deal & truly enjoying the 998. Here's the pickle I'm in- want to change the oil to start fresh/have...
Thanks for this. Very well written. That was a lot of fun to read.
Congratulations. Wishing you a lot of fun with it.
I've been curious myself. Haven't heard a thing. The local newscast here said "see what happens when a 3 year old takes her father's motorcycle for a joyride", & I took the bait. Seems like a...
Thought that too. Negligence/carelessness is the perfect term. Too much involved otherwise.
Oh my. Dad saw the bike moving, tried to grab it, & by then he was along for the ride. Other news report saying both are ok. Minor injuries (with the exception of the bike. It hit a wall at speed...
There's a dealer in Kalamazoo, MI that rents them:

Thanks for the tips. I'm going thru the ads here, & the usual stuff like Cycletrader, Craigslist etc. Lots of stuff out there. I feel like Ralphie on "A Christmas Story" wanting his Red Ryder BB...
I'm finally on the market. Went through the education class last week, & have the proper endorsement. Looking at various online ads, seeing a bunch of "stuff":
The RS S with a 1330 engine. Had...
