    Default What happened??

    What happened to the thread started by Magic Man relating to the course BRP might take when current owners warranties expire? Right after someone complained that the thread was "negative" it disappeared altogether !! I'm begining to think that BRP has hired "plants" to infilterate the forum and squash out peoples valid concerns and complaints !!

    Without a question, if someone that has the credibilty that Magic Man has on this forum, has a thread removed that brings to the forum, a very reasonable concern of many. To many, including many of us lurkers, this could become a bogus forum for ligitimate concerns an information. Just saying, Gene

    So what happened to the thread after Debbie and I commented on it? I don't recall any radical PC posts up to that point.

    Or any radical MAC posts for that matter.....

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    I thought MM would be one of the last people to be intimidated by the always sunny, never cloudy morons on this forum....those who don't see the glass as half empty or half full.....to them it's always full to the brim. If anyone should say otherwise they jump in and demand that people see things their way.

    I don't think he's intimidated. I think sometimes we all get tired trying to prove our own points. Everyone has different opinions and it can get hard to express with such a diverse crowd of folks.

    I'm not gonna say much more on the subject but basically some people, including myself, have experienced some stuff with our Spyders that are either a pain in the neck or down right scary. And when it happens, it is upsetting. But what is more upsetting is when we are told not to complain, whine, and if we bring up an issue, to state it positively. Sometimes that is hard to do - when we feel not so positive or very concerned about something. To me, there is an obvious problem here with a certain issue that many folks are having w/ their Spyder. It is an issue that is hard to discuss without having emotions. But from what I've learned on here - this is not the place to do so because it upsets a great many of you. I'm trying to say this in a "neutral" way but am having a hard time finding the words.

    Intimidated? Obviously you have not seen me in person.

    As I always say, I have been married 3 times and divorced twice. nothing scares me anymore.

    Just sometimes it's not worth the fight to bother trying to save people from themselves.

    I'm just not good at these "susposed back door dealings on things" and have always been upfront and speak the truth of what's on my mind.

    Seems my honest way of telling the truth of what is on my mind, and asking the "hard questions" I know I am not alone in thinking is not the "all hugs and sunshine" people seem to only want to hear?

    So, all together now.....

    I love you, you love me, ask the hard questions of BRP...

    Opps can't say that because it's negitive you see....

    So it's I love you and you love me......

    MM

    Thanks Magic Man! I appreciate you honesty. I have a new RT-S on order, so I'm all ears when anyone speaks about the Spyder. I also understand that sometimes truth has no effect on reason. Hang in there, I enjoy your posts!

    Speaking of "2010 PC" stuff.

    I was sad to hear a Dear Friend of my passed away recently.....

    Here is his Obiturary.......

    An Obituary printed in the London Times....

    Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years.

    No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

    He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault.

    Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

    His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.

    Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

    Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

    It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an Aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

    Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

    Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

    Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realise that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

    Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.

    And there it is.....
