    Default Welcome to BRP Can Am Spyder

    Just received my "Welcome Packet" from BRP after buying my 2014 Cognac RT-S SE-6 July 18, 2014!! Nice packet, went to register for the "Pin Program" for mileage pins ( 5000mi, 25000mi, and 100,000mi) and it does not exist any more!! Why send out out-dated welcome packets???? Just asking......but I LOVE my Spyder!!!!!!

    No answer to your question but I just purchased my 100K mileage patch from Lynn Lees embroidery (a sponsor of this site) and it really looks sharp.. much more visible than the small pin you would have received
    and very modestly priced

    They probably have 8.326 gazillion welcome packages printed up with the "old" information about the mileage pin program.

    Bob: No idea what is going wrong with your receipt of package. I am guessing that they even know who you are.

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Me too. I bought my Spyder 13 months ago and I'm still waiting as well. Every time this subject comes up a bunch of people usually chime in and say they never got one. There must be some system for who gets them and who doesn't. And for some reason, you and I are on the list that does not qualify, Bob.

    Default I too asked about the pin.

    I received the "Welcome to the Community" mailing with cover letter, owner patch, pin and 2014 accessories catalog. Both the folder and the cover letter talk about the "Pin Program". Not finding it on the web site I used the contact form on the BRP website to ask about the pin program. I got a reply the next day from BRP telling me that the pin program had been discontinued. I replied to this information with just "That is disappointing". I am not concerned about the pin BRP can start and stop programs as they see fit, I am Okay with that. The disappointing part is the recite of packet both folder and cover letter boasting about a currently discontinued program. I understand the "Lets get ride of the old before we use the new", but the consequence is disappointment when someone zeros in on the now misinformation.

    Could it be that they have a "thing" about Bobs?

    I thought about that, but I think I've seen similar reports from a Dick and a Harry.

    Oh! I know what has happened.
    They've got us confused with "Tom"...

    It must have something to do with the translation form English, to French-Canadian.
