    The year was 1974 . I was in my second year at high school. I had heard about the awesome power of the Can Am Rotax engine and I wanted one. I worked after school for months and saved every dollar. I bought a new, 1974 Can Am TNT 125 for $1065 and took it out for the first time to the grounds of my high school. The power was amazing! It had a plastic tank and fenders so it could handle abuse. I even bought the same shirt that Ryan wears in the video. When I turned 16 I licensed it and rode it to work. I loved that bike. It was unlike anything else in the market.

    As a Ryker owner, I think this video is a perfect representation of why some people will love Rykers, and some will wonder why anyone rides them at all. They are unruly, physical machines where you really do feel the road like nothing else. You can swing the back end out with ease and spin tires all day long. If a normal bike is a horse, elegant and fierce, the Ryker is a giant boar, wild and instinctual. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

    Great history lesson on Can-Am, most of which I didn't know. After riding motorcycle for over fifty years, medical issues made riding a thing of the past. My wife must have seen it coming and told me, for several years, to test ride a Spyder. I was dead set against three wheels, most especially if two were up front. Eventually I sadly sold all my bikes and listened to my wife. I now own a 2021 Spyder F3. I was lukewarm about the idea at first but now I'm very glad that I bought it. The Spyder keeps my knees in the breeze and a smile on my face. And you can't beat that.

    The Can Am 3 wheelers are perfect for my riding buddy who got run over on his Harley by a city dump truck. After a year in the hospital and rehab, he can ride with us again. And he doesn't have to strap his walker thingy to the rack anymore. He has since graduated to using a cane. Thank you Can Am. Also, Jimmy Eliis championship winning Can Am is on display at the CT Motorcycle Museum in Rockville, CT. Scary to think of riding it today.

One was a huge ski-doo, wider than a car with its front being made entirely of 6 or 8 independent engines. They were never able to synchronize them all to make it go forward but it really talks about what kind of ideas they are willing to try to get progress going.

    The increasing quality of your videos in the last year has been great to watch.
    I love your vids and the fact that you are Canadian makes me proud while, at the same time, you understand what riding in Canada is all about.

    Best of luck to you in the future!

      Can-am pretty much dominates the offroad market, at least when it comes to speed, their outlander 850's and 1000's are ungodly machines. with insane horsepower that is to the point where it is scary to ride. lets just say I know that from experience, 70 mph down a dirt road on atv tires is freaky.

    killing a rare free evening by flipping through the FortNine video catalogue in the summer of 2022.. and I firmly believe this channel is criminally under-rated. The cinematography, editing, audio engineering, scripting, and production is ridiculously good --- and not in an over-the-top way either. It's so good, you don't realize how good it is until you re-watch the same video 3 or 4 times in a row just to take it all in.
    And manages to appeal to veteran riders, noobs, wanna-be's,, and cagers what are interested in the 2 wheeled world equally, without being condescending on the one end, or over-simplifying it at the other end.
    I don't know how the hell you manage to pull it off, consistently and repeatedly....but you do. And I for one really really appreciate every single video
    Ryan, you thank us at the end of the video. But allow me to return the thanks to you and the entire crew behind these incredible works of art. indeed, THANK YOU!
