I enjoy springtime riding, but fall is the most beautiful riding season. Summer is fun, as long as you're moving; when in traffic or stopped at a red light, it can sometimes be unbearable. I've done some videos on my channel but I'm rethinking what I want to do and what I want to vlog about. Riding season is almost over here in Quebec and it will soon be time to put my Spyder into storage.
Hello, loving your channel soooo regarding the 2025 Sea to Sky here is MY quip with Can Am/Brp. Beginning with the 2023 S2S they offered the seat "trim level specific" when you saw the seat those in the know KNEW it was a S2S and it stood out beautifully the 2024 Vegas White seat with that tan hide inserts was absolutely gorgeous but for some odd reason the 2025 have plain black seats with only the dusk metallic ( purple) stiching and script but wait there more! to add insult to injury they offer a 2025 S2S in Vegas White also....WITHOUT THE TAN SEAT INSERTS! make it make sense! Why didn't they go with a purple or near purple seat insert to continue the trim specific philosophy? There are a multitude of changes BRP has done that are complexing to me for instance they no.longer offer the turn signals in the sideview mirrors which was standard in the past. A buddy who also owns a RT says they made less work for themselves and shipped it to the aftermarket world mind you they didn't lower the price on the bike as a matter of fact it went up yep you paid more for less. And my last rant is something I don't understand and even my service techs don't know why they do this, they don't color match the rear wheel with the front wheels ( excluding black) yes I know you can barely see the wheel on the left and hardly at all on the right BUT it can be seen and if you ever see one color matched you will amazed. At least offer this on the top trim and get this BRP DOES do this for the Europeans I saw a clip on YT of the BRP factory and they had them on the assembly line! They were showing how Western bkes and European bikes are sent down seperate lines due to certain countries equipment requirements Folks find it if you can sorry I can't remember what channel I saw it ( Martinthevlogger?) but there was a black F3 on the line with gold wheels all the way around with a gold horizontal bar across the grill and that bike looked absolutely AMAZING I swear that little bit of gold on the rear wheel you could barely see took the entire bike to another visual level!! Come on Can Am/BRP stop holding out on us westerners!! Anywho, that's my rant thanks for letting me get it off my chest. You are liked, subscribed and that bell has been rung sir. 😊
I ride in some pretty cool weather and the pin lock is the best I have found so far. Still when really cool have to just crack the visor a bit sometimes but at speed works fine for me. It's also very damp where I live.
@@djdeluxe6930 Thank you for responding. That is awesome. I was looking to purchase the GT Air 3. That’s great to know that it comes with the pin lock.
Fellow RU-vidr here. I process in FCP and handling multi camera setups is actually very easy. Turn your two cameras on hit the horn or clap( FCP uses sound to sink up video) then make a multi camera clip and as it plays you just switch from one camera to the other. Audio can be from only one camera or a separate recorder. Now I use an inst360 on my bars so I have to render it with a front view and a rear view render those two videos out and then go into FCP make it a single video with different views and chop it up grade it ect. It sounds harder than it is. The software you use most times determines how fast you can edit some are far easier than others. Now I’m up here in Staten Island and after watching this vid I think I’ll head to the area you where in as I always stick to the shore and didn’t realize Toms River was an actual river lol.
Hello. I live in Bayville, not far from where you were. I ride along the river all the time. I’d like to mention a few things. I’d like to more about how you like that mirror and just a heads up - the areas where you were riding are very big radar areas.
@@johnfragale3155 Hi John. Thank you for commenting. Thank you for the heads up on that. I know Ocean Gate is big on RADAR. I purchased the mirror from Slingmods. It’s called the 180° wide-vu center rear view mirror kit. It’s $60 bucks. A bit pricey because of the mount. The mirror itself is pretty much cheap plastic, however so far so good.
You can cover the multiple views with an insta360 x4 camera. It requires you to add a layer of editing to get multiple views but the desktop software is free to do it. If you use two cameras you sync by clapping in front of both cameras so you.can sync them in your editor. Once synced then you simply change which view is primary on your editor. Personally I prefer the 360 cameras even with the extra layer of editing plus the camera makes for a good dash cam.
Not sure how I didn’t see this channel before but the fact that it’s called Jersey spyder caught my attention. I’m from Jersey and bought a 22 RTL last October and LOVE IT!!!! I went to high school in long branch many moons ago lol. Glad I found your channel!
That looks like a fun area to explore I only rode through it once and didn’t do so much exploring. Next week I’ll be doing the same thing in the sea isle /cap may area. So true about the people waving and such. While I was recording my next video I caught a kid waving and paying me a compliment lol, it did make it into the video. I think the construction is still going strong all down the shore they are building a mcmansion behind my in-laws place. Appreciated the local history lesson that was really interesting.
@@SIRyker thank you for commenting. It is a great ride. I plan on doing an early fall trip down to Cape May as well. It puts a big smile on my face with all the attention these things get.
I always liked the Shamrock wheels. I do like S2S wheels. Had to replace the battery and rear trunk shock. Need to replace seat shock. I have a 22 RTL.
@@chuckwilson2301 Hi Chuck. Thank you for commenting. Yep, I know a lot of people like those wheels, they just aren’t for me. Sorry you had to replace the battery so soon. Do you use a battery tender on it when your motorcycle sits for a while?
@@JerseySpyder Hello JS, I haven’t used a battery tender yet. I have been riding enough to keep the battery charged. On the first battery the post were loose and a VSS code was appearing on the screen. After the new battery was replaced I have not had any problems. Thanks for the reply and advice. Ride safe out there.
Nice video. Interested in your seat pad/cover--great idea. Did you say Teemu? Timu? Either way, I don't see it on Amazon. Can you help with brand name/ description? Or maybe an Amazon link? Thanks!
@@JoshHooper Hi Josh. I found it on Temu and it was super cheap. There’s no brand name on it. This one I found on Amazon is similar. a.co/d/cB93GsI I appreciate you commenting. If you need anything else, please let me know. Happy and safe riding my friend.
Beautiful Spyder! I have a 2023 F3 Limited and I purchased the F3 over the RT mostly because of the RT's gas filler position under the seat. And I do prefer the looks of the F3 as I think it is a little sporter looking. My F3L is in gloss black with a little yellow trim. Ride safe!
@@terryclair2914 Hi Terry. Thank you. I do agree the F3’s are sportier, but I wanted the big touring bike. I’m sure yours is beautiful in the gloss back. I appreciate that you commented and safe riding my friend.
This won’t work on the 2024 Spyder’s as the new dash has changed a few things. I mentioned this Quick Start function in a couple of my videos involving BRP Connect.
@@endeavortrikes thank you for commenting my friend. Hey, like you, when it’s unbearably hot, I’ll sport the shorts and tee. I prefer not to, but with riding there are always risks.
I have a 2013 rt limted.me and the wife like everything on mine I love my wheels.i wish I had the 1300 cc but the 998/991/989 is okay.but like anything a person can complain but nothing is everything you want and i figured if i got a problem fix or get something else you like . so you can find a problem with something on that.i wish it could fly too but im good.but it seems to be you have basic issues every one else has some or more than others let me know when you get the perfect bike.i got a lot of the accessories you have too .but thank you for the info
@@kennethwoods2071 Hi Ken thank you for commenting. Your right, there is no perfect motorcycle, but I love my 2022 Spyder and it is exactly what I was looking for.
I have a 2022 Sea to Sky. I also changed the seat piston. Too new for any issues to surface. Added a Carpuride W702 GPS, back rest, arm rests, grill guards, drink holder, highway pegs. Soon to add the light bar.
I am new to the Spyder world, I personally think the older models have a lot more personality but do like the ride / ergonomics of the newer models. I have a 23 RT-L I picked up last year and I've added a lot of little mods to mine, I did the same running light, the Lamonster Top Cuffs on both sides, I have my Phone on one side using the Quad-Lock Mount and my Garmin on the other side. I am still trying to find a good drink holder I've had issues with everyone I've tried so far including the Gold Strike which so many seem to love. Oh I have the same Matte Color but mine is the Dark... It was the one I got the best deal on so no complaints... I have only 4k miles on mine but thankfully haven't had any issues yet, not even the failed seat / trunk supports **knock on wood**
@@peterleblanc4727 thank you for commenting. Wow, you’re the first person I’ve heard of so far that hasn’t had an issue with the seat and trunk lid pistons. Hopefully you never do.
Got the front lower grill light on mine switched version not the plug & play you can now get. Also changed out the front fender reflectors to lights & the rear side storage bags too. Disagree about the wheels rims as I have a chrome model in the red & like them to the dark ones. You may want to get some grills to protect your radiators! Ride safe, regards Stephen Alberta Canada.
@@fire3048 Yes, I know a lot of people probably love those wheels, but they just aren’t my style. I did purchase the grill guards for the radiator. 😁 I’m contemplating getting the fender lights to replace the reflectors. Safe travels to you Stephen. Thank you for commenting.
Nice additions to your Spyder. I wad hoping to get the chrome finish on my 2022, but, for some reason, it wasn't offered with the blue petrol color that I wanted. So I bought the Sea-to-Sky in mystery blue with matte silver accents. Front grills are a must and do protect the radiators.
Nice trike. Agree with the wheels needing a change. Just installed that case on my F3T and was contemplating changing that strut but maybe waiting for it to fail first. A small recommendation Is getting the top cuff from lamonster garage to attach the drink holder. I never really trusted those phone holder style. I have been using a quadlock since 2021 without a problem. Leaves the bars looking less cluttered in my opinion. My seat cushion went flat so I’m heading to Amazon for a new one. I also put a small square of clear bra on top of the top case near the logo so I don’t scratch the top when closing the lid. Good luck with the new job.
Another important aspect of NJ; it is called the Garden State. Which far exceeds the industrial aspect of the state. Nice video, love the historical references. Cheers!
I too never thought I would own a motorcycle until my 2022 Sea-to-Sky. (I just started making some videos and a Facebook page). The process for the license is pretty much the same here in Quebec. I'm glad to have found your channel and look forward to more adventures. Cheers! P.S. I love to vacation in Wildwood Crest and I'm a New Jersey Devils fan (went to my first games last February in Newark!)
Just like you, I never really thought about a motorcycle until I saw the Spyders. I'll start following your page/channel. Wildwood is beautiful. I've worked down there a lot. I too am a Devils fan. Hopefully next year will be a better year for them. Thank you for subscribing my friend.
It sounds like Can-Am has had safety issues with first time riders who just got on and started to ride, but I can see how that can get tiring after a while. Nice job on finding a work around.
Great view on the bridge. Superstorm Sandy was pretty devastating . I was in Philly at the time and we had two tornado sightings, and it took my wife and I over an hour to get home back to New Jersey. Our headlights are still foggy from driving through flooded streets. I’ve never been to Seaside Heights, but looks like a fun place to go.
Always good to see another Jersey rider! Glad you were patient with the missing part arriving on the Spyder. Good to hear you took the safety course. Did you get any discounts on your insurance?
@@JerseySpyder it seems different insurance companies go by the stats on various bikes, and classes. I'd figure there aren;t as many three-wheel bikes out there to have as much data as 2-Wheels.
I picked up an older ST Limited this past fall. Been so busy this spring, but I will soon get on it to do some exploring. Great job on the new channel.
