    Default Thumbs up to BRP!!!

    I currently own a 2012 RT Limited which I bought used last fall. Before that I had 2 - 2008 RS’s so I am not a newbie to the Spyder world.
    On June 7th I joined a group of 5 friends for a trip down the Mississippi river from Duluth, MN to Memphis, TN. BTW I was the only Spyder.
    I am pleased to report that after 2518 miles the Spyder performed FLAWLESSLY causing me to love this machine even more than before.
    For the amount of complaining I read on this forum you would think I would be foolish to leave my home town for fear of breaking down.
    I never gave that a second thought! I just sat back in comfort and enjoyed the experience and the NUMEROUS comments on how much people liked my trike.
    I just thought that I would contribute some VERY POSITIVE comments on the performance of the Spyder.
    My next ride can’t come soon enough!
    Ryde safe everyone!!!!

    So glad you are enjoying it. We've had only a minor glitch way in the beginning of spyder riding - I can't even remember what it was. Our dealer got everything straightened out and we've had over 10k trouble free miles. We love our spyder!

    Great owners event as well. Had a strange occurance while on a ryde Friday and got to the owners event just as the meal started.The staff at the technical tent took the time to investigate and check out the issue on our Spyder. The tech crawled around on the grass as they were swamped and no room under the tent, then after some time on the phone with Canadian tech people he advised of steps to take if it occurs again.

    15,000 miles in 10 months, very few troubles. One 1,800 mile trip flawless. So much to appreciate about the Can Am!

    Just got back from the Owners Event and had a great time. It seems that there much fewer "problem" Spyders lined up at the Tech tent as compared to 2011 event even with twice the number of Spyders in attendance.
