Thats why they are having Lamont bring his custom F3 to Bikeweek TO SELL F3's to a new market...and I believe Spyders in the redwoods is CALI,west coast.IMHO
I got a different take away viewpoint from the original letter posted by Lamont. What I took away from the letter is that BRP is doing this (mainly) for the owners, as appreciation, and to keep customer loyalty. I believe their presence in Daytona will be for marketing, to make non-current Spyder riders aware of what is available. I do believe BRP is spending their money wisely.

...and LEEB, I sure hope you don't run into any lions or tigers or bears on your "Mental Health Ride". Oh My!!

Quoting parts of other posts can be a good way to maintain continuity within a thread, without being redundant. You do know that you can edit quotes (like I did above), right? Some folks may not know this, as you often see long messages - complete with embedded YouTube videos - quoted several times in a row within a thread.

...or embed one quote (or other codes) within another.
Also, the little link, that appears after the name of who you quoted, takes the reader back to the original message, which may be handy when quotes are edited too aggressively.
Sorry for the "off topic" diversion.

Can't wait for the 2017 event in Valcourt. It is basically right up route 91 from me. And I can stop at the Ben & Jerry Ice Cream factory on the way.

Since this is my first season with a spyder, I am going to be glad to be a part of any event. Since it seems that they are sponsoring more events this year, I might be able to make 1 or more. Right now, I am just glad to be riding, and if I can get to ride with more spyder owners, GREAT!!!

Thanks to all of the Can-Am Spyder owners’ event organizers who submitted an event for BRP sponsorship consideration in 2015! Early next week, we'll announce the winners here as well as on Facebook. Stay tuned!

Exactly!

otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

I'm not too sure of that latony007...That shot didn't include everyone who attended. There were 165 last year and at the time that pic was taken there were several groups still out on rydes. While you may be could be at the lower end of that bell curve, only time will tell if you're the pup in the group! And, that was also pre F3....Maybe if SITR gets additional funds this year the "Youngest" will win a prize!
Good Luck.

I doubt that you would be the youngest there but you probably would be the youngest trailering your Spyder there. Us old folks ride.

Trailer? For 700 miles? That's at most a 2 day drive with plenty of stopping time thrown in. Spyders were made for riding, not trailering! Put a 5 in front of that 700 and now you're talking about some real traveling! That's what I did last fall from Idaho to Louisiana and back! And I'm only 70!
If you have some physical limitation that restricts your riding time then please forgive me for my insensitivity.

Your only 43 and you are complaining about a 700 mile drive? How soft has the younger generation become? We put more than 700 miles on after we arrived.
