Motorcycle Study Survey Card

[SpyderWolf]

I got the card as well, but haven't done anything with it yet. Not sure if I will or not at this point either. $500 sounds good, but everytime I fill out one of these surveys with a chance for winning money, I don't win and am not sure anyone else does either.

I,ll bet in a LOT of cases no one wins. Who can prove it?

My thoughts exactly.

My thoughts exactly.

You Skeptic you!!

[SpyderWolf]

You Skeptic you!!

No such thing as a free lunch!

Now, to be really skeptical, where did they get all of our information in the first place? Did BRP provide them with a list of owners to survey, or did a different company check some sort of registration records? Or worse yet, did someone sell our information to them?

[MouthPiece]

Got mine. Filled it out. Wasn't sure how to answer the questions concerning the things I was looking for when purchasing. I just knew that I wanted THAT machine when I saw it.

Well I expect that I will be winning that $500.<g>

Will probably need that to pay for the repairs that aren't being covered by the extended warranty.

[PCBeachBum]

Ahh what happens if you all win?

After a email from SpyderWolf, I filed it. So you all have a better chance to win and get a share of the money.

I wonder how many Harley, BMW and Crotch Rocket owner's got this mailing?

I participated in the $500 survey mailed from Niagara Falls. I feel this survey most certainly came from BRP. It had the terminology which is BRP's corporate signature. There is no doubt in my mind.

The survey was way too long. I stayed with it to the end, only because I wanted to help BRP. I am not sure they learned anything of value from my answers.

Well, so much for the hope that some other manufacturer was interested in making a reverse trike.

+I reply to almost all of the surveys like this, as I never know when I'll hit paydirt a second time.

That's me, on the left...

I am inclined to think they got the info from some registration records because I would hate to think the MVA here gave out my info. Reason I say that is because on my card, they have it addressed (as far as my name goes) the same exact way my info is printed out on my title. What makes mine a little different anyway (and some others may have done it as well) is that my Spyder is in my name only but I have it specified to transfer ownership to someone else in case something were to happen to me and I pass away so on my title I have the letters TOD and it is the same exact way they have my survey card addressed and that is to include the other person's name.

The phone survey was paid for by Honda. I asked and she told me.

But why would Honda go in BRP's backyard to comission someone to do a survey?

That looks like BRP's territory, Doc: Max is probably one of their marketing managers.

I'm sure it was generated by BRP.

[Smylinacha]

Well I logged on the other night to take the survey. I got as far as giving my name and contact info and then it said "Thanks for taking our survey". So that was it?

[kytten]

I got the survey from the mailbox this afternoon and immediately went to do it. First thing it asked was if I or anyone in my family had ever been in marketing or market research. Soon as I said yes it dumped me out to a 'thanks for taking our survey' page. Rude. I was curious about what it'd ask.

[Firefly]

I'm sure it was generated by BRP.

Yup---- no coincidence that it's a Canadian Marketing company.... and too coincidental that so many of us Spyder owners have received them. Got mine this weekend.

[D&J's#2]

I got it saturday. I answered the first question (YES) next, I was thanked for completing the survey and told that my name was entered in the drawing; along with providing my name and e-mail add.

[Firefly]

There is no doubt this was BRP. They asked far too many Spyder-Specific questions....

Would we like the following options:

Adjustable Power Steering
Adjustable Traction Control
Larger Engine/More HP
Hybred Engine
Electric Engine
Performance Shocks
Higher MPG
Custom Paint from Factory
Heated Seats
Audio systems
Trailers
Sport/Performance edition
And much more......

[Rando]

Why would BRP waste their money on a survey when they already know what we want? That's all they have to do is read this forum.

[Badasz]

Got mine too didn't fill it out yet

[Recon]

How long did they say I had to wait for my $500?

Earlier today I received the following reply to the e-mail I wrote the other day to the address on the survey card...
