Mark Tuttle is the author

I've always found his articles to be well reasoned.

That first picture is beautiful, and the second one with the position of his knees makes me want that F3 - I've got a torn meniscus in the right knee and that looks like relief to me.

I agree. Glad I have the extra free year of warranty on mine to keep it covered on stuff like this.
Had a call from the dealership yesterday that I should see mine mid February. Can't wait!

"Can-Am says that despite having car-like construction and sizing, the Spyders’ VSS is calibrated to the specially designed tires (made by Kenda), so they should be replaced with OE tires only."



hmmmmmmmmmmmmm ......

VSS - BS

"Can-Am says that despite having car-like construction and sizing, the Spyders’ VSS is calibrated to the specially designed tires (made by Kenda), so they should be replaced with OE tires only."...............:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:...What a crock hmmmmmmmmmmmmm ......

...................................What BRP would like you to believe is that THEIR COMPUTERS are smarter than those of ...Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes Benz, McLaren, Jaguar, etc. because they can't figure out what tires are on THEIR cars :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:.........It's sad when a company has to resort to this type of thing to sell inferior products at inflated prices, ( I'm talking about the TIRES )......Mike :thumbup:

I enjoyed reading this article.

Good Article

Very good write up. Found it very interesting that " three wheelers like the Spyders are treated like 'motorcycles' by most states and offer a 'fun inclusive alternative' to riders for whom motorcycles are not an option". I really enjoy my "fun inclusive alternative" since for me "motorcycles aren't an option". I guess I should be thankful that he didn't refer to it as a "geezer pleaser".

 

[Spyder in La.]

I certainly like the look of the 2016 F3-T... I'll probably trade-up next year or late fall... Hopefully all the bugs wll be addressed by then..:yes:

I guess I should be thankful that he didn't refer to it as a "geezer pleaser".

And it's certainly better than calling it a "mobility scooter". :shocked:
