    Default F3 premiere: info release time Sept 23rd?

    2 years ago when waiting and watching for initial info on the (then new) ST, we didn't start seeing any info or pictures until around 7:30 pm CST. At one point, some spyderlovers members briefly had access to a new BRP web site but then as others browsed to the new site they discovered the site had been taken down. A few screen shots did manage to get posted. So based on past experience I'm not expecting to find anything new about the F3 until the evening hours. The Club BRP event is in Connecticut which is EST, so here in Nashville I won't start looking until after 6:30.

    By the way, has anyone else noticed the SpyderF3 website from central FL Powersports is gone? It now takes you to a web domain sales site. Wonder if BRP made them remove it?


    1 more day to go. Aside from the new F3, curious as to what changes might be coming to the existing models?

    Just thought of this:
    How many Viet Nam vets on here had/have a "shorttimers calender" on this event.? Many version, some not suitable on a public forum.
    They estimated time before leaving that @#$%^& place.

    Default Short Timer

    Back in the day I was a computer programmer. I wrote a program that printed out how many days one had left in the army. When you got to 0 it said some funny (I thought) things...I got into some trouble over that but there is a funny story involved....

    Default Funny Story

    An E8 sarge took offence to what the program printed out and I (lowly E4) did not have time to change it so the computer room guys quit running it. About a month later a full bird called me into his office and wanted to know why the program was not running since this is what he used to order up replacement troops. I tried not to laugh when I told him Sargent so-and-so said to not run it any more. About 15 min later Sargent so-and-so came to see me and begged me to fix the program so it could run again. I fixed it but I think the Sargent got his rear end chewed on.

    I'll bet that the Sargent would really have LOVED to get his hands on you...

    I am just in the wait and see mode concerning the 2015 announcements.

    I make the following statement. I am not buying a 2015 anything.

    Am really interested in all the information about the product line, etc., etc., etc.

    Reality: There will be no 2015 products to view, kick tires, etc. until March/April 2015 here. I am sure I could pre-order a something if I wanted. But...like I said in my statement

    I did drive by a "brand new" Polaris dealer just outside of Wasilla yesterday. Its bigger than a lot of car dealers. They are not open yet, but I saw stacks and stacks of "unopened" crates in their storage area. Slingshot????????? Indian?????????? Who knows.

    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.

    Maybe get them to have Club BRP in New Zealand next year? Only problem with that is, we would see the new releases and
    not be able to buy them till March/April the following year lolol

    The downside of being so far away is the wait, and if the previous models allocated to sell here don't sell, we can wait even longer for current models.
