• 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.

Two wheels left on a trailer today. Tuesday I will order a 2024 F3-S. I'm in for a long wait.

I did however re watch Cars today. When, if ever, I do get the new wheels, I intend to go to Radiator Springs and ryde the road to the Wheel Well Motel.

3 wheels is not a lesser lifestyle. It's just a different lifestyle. If everyone on 2 wheels knew what they were missing out on, there'd be a lot more of us out there.

I rode two wheels for nearly 60 years and said I would never go to 3 wheels. But in April I was in an accident with my two wheeler and being 76 years old I had to make my mind up and eat crow. I purchased a 2011 Can Am RT-S SE5 which I really like even though I can't keep it running. The old girl is like its owner and just a tad old. Right now she's stuck in Reverse and I can't get her out but I have been talking to someone on this forum and he said not to worry that he would get me back on the road. So as soon as I can get a trailer she will be going to Lake Wylie to get some much needed attention. Look forward to receiving your new Can Am because you will love it.

We ride a Spyder RTL and it has spoiled us for lesser motorcycles. I still have the balance to ride 2 wheels, but go "why bother?" IMHO, the Spyder RTL is the Cadillac limo of motorcycles.

:agree: And if you learn how and want to/can still make the effort required, there's not too many wheeled vehicles out there on wheels that'll keep up with a well ridden Spyder in the twisties & short straights, even more so if the surface is a little bit wet or otherwise iffy for the 2-wheelers! nojoke It's only once the tight corners start turning into sweepers and the straights start getting longer that the dirty great wall of air our Spyders hafta push outta the way & all the extra weight they hafta move along over that of some 2-wheelers really kicks in and starts costing/sapping performance! :banghead:

There's even less out there that'll out-brake these Spyder things - 1/3rd the weight of most autos; brake discs, calipers, & pads better than most autos; one of the best 'Nanny suites' on the market in the Bosch suite of safety systems & features; almost as much tire contact patch as many autos; & arguably once you've got good auto tires fitted, tire traction that's equal to if not better than many autos and far greater than that of just about any 2-wheeler means that unless you cook the brakes, these Spyder things will out-brake just about anything else on the roads besides!! :ohyea:

Plus, if you just want to pootle along within the speed limit &/or leisurely cruise along without too much to worry about besides enjoying the scenery and the breeze on your face & knees, then these Spyder things do that extremely well - and you don't even hafta put your foot down at the traffic lights or duck-waddle it backwards up a hill/out of a car-park, cos they've got a true Reverse gear!! :yes:

What's not to like?? :dontknow: Well, besides the crappy knowledge, dodgy mechanical/electrical service ability, & crappy customer service we get from some dealers; and the often-appalling attitude & quality control we sometimes see from BRP/Can Am anyway?! :bdh:

Find a good dealer who looks after you &/or the skilled techs to look after your Spyder properly and you've got it made!! Best of all things in the wheeled world!! :2thumbs:

:agree: with all of the statements above. It is not a step down from 2 wheels, just a step in a different direction. It is supposed to be 83-85 degrees over the next 4 days. I plan on riding the 3 wheeler, the 2 wheeler, and the convertible. Either way, I will be in the wind.
