    Default She's in her new home now

    Brought my new, leftover 2017 F3 Limited home today. I'm new to Spyder, but have 67 years of two wheeling I have to undo to get my synapses wired to the F3. But I'm lovin' it already.
    Typical story, Father Time and Ma Nature conspired to make two wheeling physically and mentally impossible for me, and still want to go out there and challenge those twisties, here I am a new and happy Spyder man. Now to post photos. That's our car - any guesses as to our favorite colors for a vehicle?

    NICE! Welcome to the 3-wheeled world! LOVE the color.....but then again Red is my favorite. Looks like you could fit a body in that back trunk! Happy and safe riding!

    That was my thought exactly, trying to find a way for more space which does not include a trailer.

    Nothing wrong with blue at all. Hey! It's a Spyder and it get us in the wind. That's what counts. I just told Pretty Wife that I can't wait for better weather and our three wheel adventures to start.

    Thanks gals and gals for that warm and fuzzy welcome. The first thing I want to get is a half cover - and suggestions? I want it to go from the windscreen to and including the trunk.

    Thanks Rocket. I did see that one, but the low price had me a little put off. I think I'll go ahead and get it and will report as to its quality and fit.
    I feel like a kid on his first day of school - there is so much to learn as I intend to do all my own wrenching.

    We had a skiff of snow during the night, so you know it's not warm here and rain will continue to Friday. I hope they are right, so I can take 'er out for more practice Saturday.
