    Default F3S in South Germany

    Finally he(?) is here... not really being a very patient person, those three months were almost unbearable 😝.

    Notice my daughter's VW UP! is basically the same length as the Spyder?

    Ausgezeichnet! Have fun on the autobahn! Where in southern Germany are you? My twin brother lives in Basel, Switzerland. He told me this past weekend that Spyders are finally on sale there.

    I live in Nuremberg... I think the F3 started being delivered to the first owners in Europe around February.
    But the "F3 experience Tour" is now in Switzerland. Your brother should go and check it out 😀!

    Thanks for the link. I sent it to him. He had the opportunity to spend a weekend with us a couple of years ago. We took him to a large church parking lot and let him drive my wife's Spyder. He had a blast!

    Hey there Peter,
    You're gonna love the F3!
    Did I ever see you in the German Facebook group? I believe there are quite a lot of Spyder Ryders in your area...

    out of the facebook thing, sorry. For me, its spyderlovers .com. But I do look into the German Forum off and on. Alex is doing a great job. BTW, will be in Nuernberg/Peuerling July 18/19, just dont know how to get the stuff I was able to get int the st ltd, into the F3. Where the heck are those Saddlebags, not in Germany, they are not!!! I mean the ones that DONT leak !!!! christmas gift? What is BRP thinking? Is this about nothing but a turf war between Givi and BRP? and dont get me started on the windshield!!!

    Anyway, regards from riesling country to boxbeutelcountry!
    Peter

    Default you might get lucky

    I have the "leaking ones" and they've never leaked. I rode down in a heavy downpour (3 inches of rain in an hour) to the dealership one day to get the liners (figuring if they were going to leak, the liner might help keeps stuff dry, and it makes things easier to load/remove each night at a hotel). Anyway, I was soaked, the sypder was soaked, and the only wet that I had inside the saddlebags was where I'd opened one of them to put the liners inside. I washed the spyder with the saddlebags on and after washing, there was no water inside, so... maybe it's not every one of the BRP saddlebags. I'm very happy with mine, they worked great on our trip last weekend.
    We now have His and Hers Spyders!
    Current Spyder: White 2015 F3-S SE6
    His Spyder: White 2015 F3 SE6

    Previous Spyder: 2012 RT Limited SE5 -- 30,300 miles
    Previous rides: Kawasaki & Honda
    2015 F3 , Pearl White

    Default Welcome. . . .

    . . . so, was the wait worth it?

    And, what is that 'sticker/decal' that is about where your right knee would be?

    Oh YES! It was well worth the wait. I absolutely love it. Riding the F3 is so much more relaxing and enjoyable than the RS. But that's just my humble opinion... Chacun à son goût!

    The sticker was just something the dealer put on while I was not looking... He is a little goofball...😉
