    Default THANKS BRP FOR THE SE5 tranmission.

    Got me a new ride. My brother rides a Victory Vision motorcycle. I'm a little handicaped, I have on my left hand a very short and small left thumb, which is no use, its there for looks, so I cannot ride a motorcycle with a hand clutch. But now with SE5 Spyder I can shift the gears with my pointer finger and does just fine. I love my new Spyder and now I can ride with my brother and other friends. Thanks BRP for the Can-Am SE5 transmission, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

    A nice reminder for those of us that are 'fully abled' how something like the SE5 can be a life changer for others.

    ENJOY!!

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    The SE5 is the only reason I initially considered a street donkey.

    I must agree, without it the wife would have never climbed behind the bars. Now she steals it every chance she gets...maybe we need a second !

    Yes BRP screwed up when they came out with "spyder". It should have been "STREET-DOO"
    So,
    ski-doo = ski-donkey
    Sea-doo= sea-donkey
    Street-doo = street-donkey!!

    Makes perfect sense doesn't it!!

    Congratulations and welcome to Spyder Land. The Spyder has opened up a whole new world for me too. I'ts given me a new sense of freedom. It's a wonderful thing.
