    Default New guy and kudos to dealer

    After many years on a Wing, lower back problems dictated I move from 2 wheels to 3. Although it had not happened, I was becoming more concerned my left leg was going to give out when at a stop. The wife and I tried a 2013 RT Ltd last year and while it was OK, it didn't thrill us. This year we tried a 2014 RT Ltd and what a difference a year makes. I rode it away from the dealer's lot, then we swapped and she rode it back. She was all smiles when we got back. Sold the Wing and started looking for a good deal on a 2014 RT-S SE6 in pearl white.
    Pitbull gave me a great price but it was going to be a long ride back to central Ohio. I then got a good price from Jason at Johnny K's in Lodi, Ohio - a lot closer to home. Jason was a pleasure to deal with, and it got better. I picked up the Spyder on Saturday, 6/28 and then Monday, 6/30 I get an email from BRP with info about a $1000 rebate offer on new Spyders. I thought "d__n", here I had missed out since I had already took delivery. I forwarded the email to Jason and on 7/1 he responded that he had contacted their rep and was working to get the rebate for me. I got the check yesterday so a good deal became even better. Thanks to Jason at Johnny K's and to BRP.

    Sorry for rambling but I wanted to give credit where it was due.

    John

    Isn't it weird that in AMERICA our flag and our culture offend so many people......
    but our benefits don't?

    Default RIGHT LEG

    WELCOME.....

    I could have written the first part of your post, except it's my RIGHT LEG... HIP actually...
    as our parts wear down, we need to make adjustments in our lives to compensate, and i've got to say, the SPYD3R came a little late for me, i hadn't ridden in over 10 years, but better late than never....

    all of us here on SL's are looking forward to more of your comments and stories....
    again, WELCOME to your new family....

    Thanks for the welcome everybody. I have been lurking for a while and decided to dive in. Already had multiple deliveries from UPS, Fedex, and USPS so the fun has started!

    SPYD3R - over the last few years I have learned a lot about spinal stenosis and all the fun things pinched nerves do to the hips and legs. I really do feel your pain.
