    When you own a 2010 RT, the trailer is required equipment. I am off to the dealer..............................

    Smile ON THE ROAD AGAIN......

    http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...ave-ever-owned

    On the road again.....................................Stopped by the delaership this morning. Spyder is still up on the lift, waiting on parts. IMAGINE THAT. I have exhausted all of my patience with BRP in resolving the issues with my spyder. OBVIOUSLY, there is a problem, one that can not easily be replicated and one that I am unwilling to be a lab rat for them to try to solve.
    If you all let me hang around, I will still stop by time to time and check up on the spyder family.
    WELCOME to the garage, the new ride......

    Never noticed the date is off on my camera. Need to fix that.
    She is a 2012 Wing, level 2 with navi package, XM radio and all of the toys, except ABS brakes.
    The 622 will go behind it just fine, like it wasn't even there.
    Thanks to all of the Spyderlovers that supported me during these trying times. All I will say on the issue is that if you guys ran customer service instead of the people at BRP, there would be MANY more satisfied ryders out there. Many parts will be going up for sale from the 2010 soon. Stay tuned for pics and prices.

    Well, they say 'All good things come to an end'. But it's also true that all BAD things also come to an end. Sorry it didn't work out. Not for a lack of trying or support from all your good buddies here on SL's!

    ,Congrats on your new ride, Dave. Im sorry you have had such bad times with your Spyder. I think, if I had all those problems, I would have pulled the plug also. You new ride, however, is a real beauty. I wish you many happy times and miles with it.

    Thanks, What can I say, I gave them 7 months of trying. Time to start, a word I learned on SpyderLovers, FARKELING, out the Wing. LOL. I think this time it will be all cosmetic instead of electronic.....for now.

    Dave did you trade in the RT? Just curious how the dealer would figure out a trade in value for something that they can't fix? Nice Wing. I hope you enjoy it for years to come.

    Nope, not traded in. I was wondering the same thing about value with it not in riding condition.

    So, you are still the prowd (or whatever) owner of a Spyder RT? No agreements, negotiations or otherwise in regards to the future of (I'm assuming) your soon to be X-Spyder?

    In other words, since it appears that the divorce is not final, have you at least started the paperwork?
