I have appreciated your comments on the Practicing Retirement channel and wanted you to know I am now a subscribing to your channel. Looking forward to your new videos.
Very nice! I was in Eastern TN last Friday on my 21 RTL . I bought the frunk bag for mine and we used it on the trip. I put the Amazon light on the front. I bought the plug so I didn't cut the wires on the Spyder.
Wow congratulations with you new bike dave and have a lot off fun and safe km /mils on it and i hope to see you soon on the road and making nice videos greetings from hennie the netherlands
It is a challenge for sure. For now, I move my wifes car in the grass. Maybe later on, we can go down to one cage and have that side of the driveway a clear shot.
Hey nice video, I just pick up a sea to sky and I have a question that maybe you can answer. I remove the back truck and place the back panel on the bike. My question is, does this plate not lock, and how do i remove it to put the storage back back on. The plate feels like its not real snug and I'm scare someone will just walk up and walk away with my back panel plate. Secondly, now that its on, I'm scare to take it off because I don't want to break it,,,, there are no videos that cover this on youtube. any help is great help....
The plate does NOT lock. The reason is that it's a quick on and off. Someone "In theory" could take it off and walk away with it. That is if the knew how to do it. To take it off, just pull up on the back lip and it will pop off. The "Top Box" does lock on the inside of the box. This video may help you. It shows the 2020 but the Top Box and Plate are the same. Fast Forward to Time Stamp 4:57 th-cam.com/video/t7Jeu8ErEtU/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps you. Ryde Safe.
Great video buddy. Got patches from Susan few days ago. I will soon do a walk around video. Just got a good Video editing program, got light fixed and they have a 1 and 1/2 inch foot board riser kit that I have ordered. I have hell of a time getting my bad leg over and I think that riser will be a life saver for me. I have to start a list to remember all the stuff I added to Big Red. Take care.
@@theSMYRNAcowboy Lol. My man butt ain't as old as yours, but it ain't as young as it used to be. It looks like it would feel real nice on my semi-old man's butt. You got them Fruities and Liberty's for a fart filter to keep the residue off that sweet seat. 😜
I hope so too HDR. That would be very cool. It would be a honor to ride with you and the Fire Chat Boys. If you come back to Tennessee on vacation, maybe I can meet up with you guys.
The problem with the tape is when it gets super hot outside it may fall off. Or fly off on freeway. I tried the same thing with the little ones that you can adjust my right-side you can't see behind you the mirror needs to come out more. I purchased mine August 28th 2021 Off the Show room floor. I was gonna get the 22 but it was the same everything the same. I bought the RT can-am spider limited. I was going to buy the sea to sky I just didn't care for that color..
Very nice Dave good luck to you. I bought the gremlin bell mount and believe it or not it cost me $22 Aus but I can't take it with me! By the way it has to come from Amazon USA.
Beautiful machine. I will be looking at the F3 LTD and the RT LTD this spring and can't wait! Have you installed a backrest? Great video, cheers from Canada.
Hello my friend. In answer to your question, yes I have installed a backrest. I got it from Slingmods.com. BRP just thinks a lot of theirs. LOL. Here is the video on that. th-cam.com/video/N8qoKhqe5gc/w-d-xo.html
Really nice ride Dave. You have me "jonesing" for a Spyder. I'd easily trade in my Scout for one but these days I couldn't afford it and have no room to store it even if I could.
Thanks my friend. Been looking at these for a LONG time and did the research. Only way I could afford it was the sell the scoot, pay off the truck and almost retire so I could pay it off with my 401K or my pension when I do retire. Still riding around the neighborhood, getting the feel for it. The hardest problem is throwing my leg over the Spyder. On the scoot you just stepped through. LOL
Thanks my friend. I am getting more confident every time I ride. Just the thought of not worrying about gravel or grass clippings in corners is a BIG plus. LOL
@@theSMYRNAcowboy You said it, mate! The stability of these machine under all kinds of conditions is outstanding. I tried going back to two wheels in 2016 and it was a bust which is why I traded my Sportster for an F3. My earliest videos were on that ride and it's no wonder there are only three of them Ryde safe, my friend!
I'm sorry. I thought I replied to you comment. I use a SENA 10C EVO for my helmet, On the handlebars I have a Cool Cam. (Cheap) On the back rail I have a ION ProLite and a Dragon Touch for a extra camera.
I will have to do another walkaround 2.0 soon and I will make sure the Frunk will be in that video. Here is a video I did when I test rode the 2020 model. The Frunk is at time stamp 2:20 Here is the link. th-cam.com/video/kofYoZuPKHk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for sharing. At the age now where i don't feel as safe on two wheels with the wife on the back as I use to. Been riding with the wife on the back for 48 years now and several years before that. Hate to think of not riding anymore. A three wheeler would be a very large expenditure for us now since we are on a fixed income so we will have to consider it carefully. Do you know the overall length of the Spyder?
I heard they are not going to offer the luggage on the new 2022 Sea to Sky, I found that out when I ordered mine, Almost a deal breaker, but I can buy it separate. I'm in Chatt
I think the "Trade off" is instead of the luggage, the 2022 Sea-to-Sky has a driver backrest and adjustable wind defectors. Like you said, you can buy the luggage as an option if you wish.
I've been riding motorcycles since I was 15 and thought hard about buying a Can Am. A video on handling on narrow, rough and uneven roads and one on a gathering of CanAm owners. Looks like the people that buy these ar so unhealthy I'm surprised they can even get on it. I refuse to be that old yet. My motorcycle handles and maneuvers way better than my car so my big question is will the can am get jerked around looks like yes with a wide front wheel stance. You need to do some videos with healthy young people riding in large groups.
I think what you would be more interested in, would be the Ryker. It's basically a 3 wheeled scooter with a Reverse on it. I'm sure there are a ton of videos out there with healthy young people riding them. The Spyder RT's in my option are mostly gear towards the "Baby Boomers" and those that are in there or close to, retirement age to own a comfortable road touring machine. Quite a few Spyder riders have some physical impairments ( Joint replacements, balance issues etc) and feel more comfortable riding on 3 wheels. I know I do.
Soooo happy for you. You deserve every good think that comes your way.
Thank you very much.
Yeah the official walk around! :) yay! :)
Hoped you liked it sweetie.
She’s a looking good! I know you are going to have a ball riding it in good time
Thanks Steve.
Lookin' good Dave. Getting your ride all ready for the open road. Take care
Thanks buddy. Whenever it comes, I'll be ready.
I have appreciated your comments on the Practicing Retirement channel and wanted you to know I am now a subscribing to your channel. Looking forward to your new videos.
I'm going to put some aftermarket parts on her soon, so there will be a walk-around 2.0 very soon.
Thanks for the sub, my friend.
The Gremlin Bell that you got me to put on R-ALF, it is now on my Electra Townie bicycle.
Looks good man. Can't wait to see it in person.
Thanks my friend.

Glad to hear you’re up and running again. Ride safe my friend
WOW, I am impressed, Great bike...!
Thanks brother. It has been a long time coming.
Lookin' good CB. Lookin' forward to some ride videos on it.
Thanks buddy.
Just beautiful !!!!.. The scoot was easy access, so what are your plans on getting the the Spyder out the driveway.....
It is a challenge for sure. For now, I move my wifes car in the grass. Maybe later on, we can go down to one cage and have that side of the driveway a clear shot.
Great looking Spyder! Love all the accessories you have added! Enjoy!!
Thanks buddy. I'm sure more stuff will be on the bike soon.
@@theSMYRNAcowboy I have a Sea to Sky also what is the purpose of the added mirrors on top?
@@thomasnelson7662 They are Hercules Blind Spot Mirrors. I had them on the last bike and I really like them.
@@theSMYRNAcowboy They look pretty neat what website did you purchase them from.
@@thomasnelson7662 Here is the video on that.

Beautiful! You did well young man. Putting accessories on our bikes is a disease. We all catch it. Those were great places for the bells. Take care!
Shoot brother, this is just the tip of the iceberg. I have an Excel sheet full of stuff ready to get. LOL
@@theSMYRNAcowboy Seek help now. Maybe a good 12 step program.

@@theSMYRNAcowboy Been do video clips, it's the damn editing/making a video!
That is half the fun man. LOL. After awhile, you will get the hang of it.
I love the seat.
It's for a Old mans butt! It would be better if it had a Fart Filter on it. LOL

Beautiful Spyder! I’m gonna be looking for one of the phone holders for mine as well. And those grips I’ll have to check those out.
I love the grip puppies. Had to change the grips on all my bikes. I got fat hands. LOL

Wait, did I miss it? Where's your passenger Alf? :-)
I have retired Sgt Alf to a place of honor inside "Pappy's Place" ( my shed) over the display of the commemorative v logging helmet.

Merci beaucoup Pascal.
Where did you have to go to get your Sea to Sky?
This was back in 2021. A dealer in Nashville, Tennessee had this one on his showroom floor. All things fell into place and I bought it.
I've been riding motorcycles since I was 15 and thought hard about buying a Can Am. A video on handling on narrow, rough and uneven roads and one on a gathering of CanAm owners.
