    Default I just returned!!!!

    I just returned from a 29 day trip to see the west and attend the NorCal Spyder rally. I enjoyed meeting old friends and made some new ones. My thanks to Mike Invergo from Bandera, TX for being my riding buddy. I rode 7,988 miles on my adventure. My Spyder ran flawlessly the whole trip! The only hiccup was a battery that went dead in Lincoln, CA but I was able to locate an equivalent at an auto store close by and was up and running in about 40 minutes. I would ride my F3-S anywhere long distance!

    Good to know,I purchased a 2015 f3s last month with only 1500 miles on it and thought maybe I made a mistake after all the negative post. I checked all I could with knowledge from this forum,changed oil to synthetic, adjust belt. I now have 3700 miles on it and love it. Former bikes were Wings and St 1100,1300.Thanks for the positives.

    Glad to hear that things went well. I am planning a 6 week cross country trip for next you. I am hoping to have an uneventful ride myself. Glad to hear that the F3 was trouble free.

    We did 200 to 300 miles per day and it was easy. I did 700 miles the day before I arrived home. My F3 is so comfortable!!

    8,000 miles on an F3-S, great job! Did you install a windshield? What model \ how did it work?

    I have a Madstad windshield and love it. The adjustability is what won me over.
