    Default BRP Demo Rides at Spyderfest

    Just wondering if BRP is going to be doing any demo rides at this years Spyderfest? I looked around and I can't see it listed anywhere. I would like to ride the new 2013 to see the difference from my 2011 RT.

    Thanks, John

    Not a bad idea. Where else are you going to get 700+ riders at least wondering what a 2013 would look like with them on it...

    I would certainly try one out, maybe even an SE5 since I've never rode one.

    Has anybody contacted BRP directly to see if they're coming to the party?
    I think that it'd be great if they were there with a truckload of bikes and a hatful of ignition keys!

    Everybody throw their keys in a hat...
    We could then spend the next couple of days figuring out who will be riding what!
    Keys equipped with the S.O.B. cannot be allowed into this event...

    If BRP is not there for the demo rydes, I am guessing you are going to be covered on that anyway.

    I do recommend leaving the checkbook at home though. It can be very dangerous test driving a new and being caught up in the moment. I am guessing a few that were not planning on it, will be piloting a new home.

    The BRP Demo Truck will be attending this years Spyderfest again............but I am not sure what day they will arrive. I think that last year they came in on Friday evening and were their all day Saturday.

    I think Len needs to have one of those super sized coffee makers in the store. That way I'll know where the wife is. Oh crap...

    I talked to BRP yesterday about having some Spyders at the GWRRA's Wing Ding in July in Greenville, SC since Honda, Harley Davidson and BMW were going to have their bikes there for demo rides. The Wing Ding is their annual owner's event July 2-6, 2013.
    Guess I'll be the one if there aren't others there representing the BRP Can-Am Spyder brand that week?

    Glad that they will be at SpyderFest this year again.

    If you go to PitBull PowerSports you might miss the BRP rides. Confirmed they will be at Vendor Village.

    Change of Plans then; Do we have a shop where you can get a decent-sized "Barrel" of coffee in the morning?

    Bob are you sure that you can handle large amounts of coffee?

    RE: Bob and coffee: It will be interesting to hear how everthing goes when Bob gets thoroughly caffineated.

    So, how many new 2013's are you going to be taking home? Will you get someone to drive the second one, or have it shipped back? You will probably have to ship all the double farkles--unless you talk them into installing them.
