• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    We both got to sit test one.

    We were on our way home Monday from a little weekend stay with our son in Nashville. We stopped in Findlay Ohio and ate lunch there. I suggested we stop by at American Powersports before going home We looked around and I spotted a new 2017 F3 Limited in Pure Magnesium Metallic. The saleman...

    Waiting Another Year

    I was considering going to an F3T or F3 Limited due to age related things but will have to wait another year due to hospital bills that are now coming in the mail. I had to have two eye surgeries for a detached retina in my right eye. The first was November 21st but it didn't completely take...

    New unsold 2016 F3T

    My local dealer has a new unsold/untitled 2016 F3T SE6 in Steel Black Metallic on sale for $18,199. It was originally MSRP'd at $24,499. I know that the two year depreciation thing takes hold as soon as it leaves his showroom so I am curious as to whether or not this might be a good deal on a...

    2017 F3 Limited

    I rode my Indian over to Findlay Ohio just to see what American Powersports had. They had new Spyders right inside the door and as I started to walk away I noticed they had a 2017 F3 Limited in Magnesium Metallic which looks like a pewter color to me. I checked out the saddlebags, the trunk &...

    F3T or F3 Ltd. New Non-current

    I was checking out the new inventory at Honda East Toledo and discovered some unsold 2016 models there being discounted. For example a 2016 F3 Limited Special Series (matte black) for $21,387 and a 2016 F3T (magnesium metallic) with radio & SE6 for $19,767. I like the new 2017 Limited but the...

    Discounted 2016 Models

    I went online and looked at the Can Am Spyder inventory at a dealer about 45 miles from here. He has several 2016 models marked down probably to make room for the 2017s. Examples are: Red F3 Limited for $22,999, Magnesium Metallic F3T SE6 with Radio for $21,599, RT SM6 Black for $19,799, RT...

    Progressive Motorcycle Show

    I went to Cleveland Ohio to the Progressive Motorcycle show, meeting my son there for a father & son outing. He lives near Columbus and I'm from Fostoria, over near Findlay. We took in the entire show. Lots of new machines from all the major manufacturers and the aftermarket as well. I got...

    2016 F3T & Limited

    I'm seeing many dealers showing stock photos of the new models on their websites but I'm thinking the new models will not be showing up yet for some time. Past practice has been that the new models mostly show up in the deep south & southwestern states first since they have no winter weather to...

    Sold the Bike, One Step Closer

    I sold my 2012 Victory Cross Country yesterday to a friend in the American Legion Riders. I'm $2k better than I'd have gotten in a trade-in at my dealer. Time to rest ride and deal.

    Got a Call

    I took a call today from a friend in the American Legion Riders who wants to buy my 2012 Victory Cross Country outright for 13 grand. My dealer offered me 11 grand for it on a trade in. I told him there might be a guy interested in giving me the $13K and he said if I can get that much to take...

    Trade or Sell

    My dealer looked up my 2012 Victory Cross Country for me and told me $11,000 is what he'd give me for it in trade for a new 2015 F3 Spyder. There is a guy in the American Legion from a nearby town that might be interested in buying it outright for $13,000. If that doesn't materialize should I...

    Finally Got to Demo One

    It reached a balmy for March 63 degrees here so I took a full-face helmet along in order to do this demo knowing the F3 doesn't come with a windshield. I fired up my Victory and rode over to American Powersports in Findlay Ohio and after some talking and waiting they rolled this Magnesium...

    Odd Windshield Idea

    I was searching GOOGLE for motorcycle windshields to no avail then decided to try ATV windshields instead. I stumbled upon this VIP-AIR ATV fairing with windshield that oddly might just work on an F3. Ignore the mirrors on it as they are apparently optional anyway. It's a long shot but maybe...

    Just an Observation

    I'm just curious as to why so many old posts keep getting dredged-up and treated as though they are a new topic. I wonder if it's just cabin fever from being cooped-up all winter. I keep seeing things that are several months old popping back up and old replies that I made. I'm not the one...

    Road Runner Magazine

    I just got my new copy of Road Runner in the mail today and they had a nice write-up about the F3 in there. One of my favorite motorcycle magazines which doesn't favor one brand or type of bike over the rest. Lots of travel stories and useful stuff along with unbiased road tests.

    Finally

    I finally got over to my dealer, American Powersports in Findlay Ohio and got to see in person as well as sit on that silver with orange frame F3-S SM6 sitting in his showroom. It does indeed look much better up close. Being a motorcycle guy I liked the exposed engine. The seat was very comfy...
