That's simply not true. Many types of opinions pro and con are on these boards.
But when something that is perceived as extremely petty pops up you can certainly expect opinions coming back that might be a tad bit defensive.
I think the type of answers that were given back in this case were well deserved.

But if you want to whine; that's cool too! Just send me the brochures so that I can pass them out!
Apparently they have already been thrown away. I too would have loved to have them, would even have paid for the postage to send them to me.

Wow. Can't believe someone would complain about getting something for free. I actually enjoyed getting my package. I have the my Spyder RT Limited personalized picture hanging where I can see it when I'm not riding. I haven't used the patch yet but the pin is on my riding jacket. I keep several of the foldup flyers on the bike. It makes fuel stops go quicker when I run into a very interested person with lots of questions.

I guess it's just the way that some folks are: You give them something and they also want the car you drove up in! 
Everbody is entitled to their own opinion and an opinion about other folks' opinions too!

Just for the record, I agree.

I got my "08 used. I did register online as an owner. But, as far as I can recall I didn't get anything. WHICH IS OK!!!!!
Because I have my Spyder!!!! What more could anyone want???
OK, maybe the RT. Even though it feels big to me, it's perfect for 2 up. And that's what we mostly do. I've been eyeing the RT lately with envy. But, not going to happen. I'll have the RS probably until I can't ryde at all.

To be honest, the brochures come in very handy, but I guess you guys want more...which we will all pay for in the end. Silly thing to gripe about if you ask me.

I guess you missed the patch, pin and picture of your  with your name on it. Lot more than what I got when I bought my brand new $30k+ vehicles in the last 10 years...

I don't know, I kinda liked mine. Both of 'em. Took a while for them to come, but it was kinda fun when they did. Came with my owner card so I could register with the machine, a nice pic of my Spyder, some cool patches, pins which I wear on my jackets, and product info cards which frankly help a lot when I stop for fuel and get the inevitable questions.
Everyone is different on this I guess, but I thought it was nice... The free first services would have been even better! I like the idea of the road atlas as well.

I agree! BRP could have used the $$$ they spent on the welcome package a lot better than they did. The size of the package certainly did belie it's contents. It was much to do, about nothing.

You get that free for the first year only.  After that you pay....we've been HD members for a few years now and it ain't cheap.

Regardless of the OP's tone, I find the post strange.
My welcome 2010 kit included a pile of handout brochures, but I also received a small poster, a Spyder Patch and a Spyder pin.
I wonder if BRP is no longer handing these out the same way they no longer include hooks on their mid panel access covers?
Just a thought................................
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

Now you boys play nice or I'll call your Father in here! 
Well, I like my owner's Pkg !! Thanks BRP
and I also hand out the salesman's business card that sold us our spyder and to speak to the dealer as he is platinum dealership and gives great service
I bought my Spyder used and registered it anyway just to see what would happen.....I was surprised that I got anything at all! I carry one of the little brouchers with me just in case I want to give it to an inquiring mind.
