Hope I don't Jinx it...Don't want PMS!
For those of you that have been on this site for a while, you may have recalled my trials and tribulations with my :spyder:. It spent six MONTHS in 3 different service Departments last year. The issues were anything involved with the DPS (3 months) the DESS (2 months) and a misdiagnosed 12k service where there was nothing wrong but it took them a month to get my Spyder back.:gaah: Long story on that last one that I'd rather not go into here... In any case, my :spyder: has been running great since September and now I have completed all of the basic mods I wanted in order to safely make a cross country trip.(madstadt windsheild, comfort seat, EZ Riser from ESI, saddle bags, fog lights, hiway pegs, ESI Triple Play).
I'm hoping to be at the owners event in Maggie Valley in June, and will have to forgo SitS this year as I am planning a 3 week round trip journey to AZ at that time. Can't do Spyderfest as that is my busy time at work.:(
While there is still no Spyder Dealer less than 75 miles away, I have found a great cycle shop that is employing one of the certified BRP techs that used to work at the local BRP dealer before they closed their doors.
I just had then install my EZ risers and they did a great job and the prices are very reasonable at about half of what my nearest BRP service would charge. I'll probably let them do my tire changes and all the routine maintenance that doesn't require BUDS.
I too suffered from PMS (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome) for quite a while, as some of you who read my rants can attest to- lil ol thread crapper me:opps:
But I am SO glad I kept my belief that there WAS a good :spyder2: waiting to get out of the issues I've had.
I just passed the 15k mark yesterday and if all goes well:pray:
It should be at 30k next year at this time:2thumbs:
I LOVE ryding my :spyder:!!! and hope to see some old friends and make some new friends on my travels this year!
