SPYDER 5

[spyderdmb1621]

Ok, i have a feeling i am going to get some interesting replies but, i am blunt and would like to see where this goes, is BRP going to redo the contest for a New Group for the Spyder 5. Not trying to hurt any feelings out there, just a question.

Who knows? And why would they?

SO who knows is correct?- why would they? because its been several years, new blood is needed i think and it beats the Danica- Celebrity stuff.

I'm satisfied with the originals . . . and their stories are still out there.

Speaking of Danica. Her car will be sporting a new paint scheme for 2014. Still green, but with a wide orange stripe running from hood to trunk. BRP posibile changes for 2014? Guess we'll know when/if they announce any. In the meantime we'll be riding, or wishing we could.

What's the Spyder 5?

[SpyderAnn01]

the Spyder 5 were Lamont, Fred Rau, Ken ?, and Daniel ? from Canada. They write about Spyders and attend events and promote the product.

Add Mickey & Faran and you have 5.

First you have to subtract Ken then add Mickey & Faran and you get 5. This simple math stuff can be so hard some time.

So currently there are Spyder 3 Lamont, Daniel and Fred.

Lamont is the man :-)

[Chupaca]

but they have been running the three left ragged...!!

Back to the original quesiton (A good one!)
Contact customer service at BRP; let them know what you're thinking, and ask them if they've got any plans?

[JKMSPYDER]

​Do Daniel, Ken, or Fred ever post on here??

I gotta say that I really enjoyed the "Spyder 5". Real stories from real folks riding real bikes on real trips. But it appears that BRP has moved on.

-Ken=5, I got it,
My memory still works and your math still works
Old age is trying to catch us.

There is no Ken, he stayed with Barbie.

"-Ken=5, I got it, "

Ken might have only been a five; But Faran was definitely a ten!
Lamont: a nice solid eight
Mickey seven or so...

Personally; I think that it'd be difficult to give Fred much more than a four...
He's so weatherbeaten now!

I believe it's now the Spyder 3--but do not hear much if anything from two of the three. Has the program gone away or are they going to re-up with new or current people for 2014?

They (BRP) do have an interesting marketing department and I don't always get excited by what I see. However, I am already hooked--so I guess it does not matter where I am concerned.

To date there is no Spyder5 or Spyder3. Fred Rau, Daniel Bastien and myself are still with BRP as ambassadors and consultants for 2014 just like the three of us were last year. As you can see the marketing changes from year to year. The Spyder5 program was a spinoff of the RT5 program the year before. The Spyder5 took three of the RT5 members and two new contest winners (Faran Hearyman and Mickey Fisher) and created that marketing program.

Fred Rau does not post here because his real influence is in the motorcycle world. He travels to motorcycle rallies around the country promoting the Spyder in person more than online. He's a well respected rider and to have him on a Spyder is a real testament of the uniqueness of this product and how even a hardcore two wheeled rider can be converted to 3 wheels if they are in the right place.

Daniel Bastien is not seen here very much as his following is in Canada and he's really a big name with the snowmobiles but shares a passion for the Spyder too. He's been to all the Spyder events and he rides there so he's the real deal for sure.

Like you all I wish Faran and Mickey were still part of the team but Faran can be found on Girls On Spyders and still has a following there as well as here on SpyderLovers. Mickey is rubbing shoulders with some big names in Hollywood and I doubt he would have time for us now that his career has taken off. http://www.huntingtonnews.net/69159

Every year I think this is going to be my last year and once again I'm thinking 2014 will be my last year as an ambassador/consultant but who knows. It was only suppose to last a year so I guess they are happy with the work I've done so far.

Thank you for the informative update. It answers a lot of the questions.
