Lost RT-S

[frank3]

Well, talked to my dealer again this morning and guess what? The Rt is no where to be found. I guess the truck driver called them last week for directions to their "warehouse", was given directions and never showed up. Mean while, my baby (vin ending with 180) is out there in the cold somewhere. Sure hope this is resolved prior to year's end. I'd really like to get the tax break.:helpsmilie:

How does a Spyder just get lost?

And I thought waiting for the call was bad. :cus:

[Smylinacha]

Did they find it yet?

[ataDude]

Well, if you don't get it in the next week, they did cost you a deduction on the sales tax.

Yes, try to at least get the paperwork done before the end of the year. They have the serial number, should be able to process the paperwork.

Scotty, I think you're right. Fact is, they called me over a week ago and wanted to complete the paperwork and have me write them a check. They said they had all the necessary info to complete paperwork then. I declined, wanting to see the RT prior to giving them 24K more. Now, may have to do that anyway.

I did my paperwork last week, but delivery will be Wednesday. So far I have only seen the crate. I figure the warranty can take care of any problems.

[Smylinacha]

Hopefully you will have it this coming week!

Dealer notified BRP that shipment delayed due to weather. Dealer and BRP have a tracer out on truck and expect some info today or tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'm going to go ahead and close deal today and not risk missing out on tax rebate. Could wait till Thursday but more show on the way tonight and all day tomorrow.

#180 RT is in Alabama in a warehouse. Delivery truck redirected there after part of his load was rejected by another dealer. Told it will be delivered to dealer tomorrow (12/31/09).:2excited:

Check at Lamont's.....That's where all of my missing stuff ends up. Have never lost anything as large as an RT but you never know. Stuff shows up at his house all the time.

Sometimes it's his.....sometimes it isn't. :dontknow:

As talented as that guy is, Id be pleased to take any of my toys there.

Well, dealer called 5 min ago and said RT made it there today. They will uncrate/build on Saturday. Plan to trailer it home on Tuesday.:yes::yes::yes:

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Hope you got the paperwork thing done, too. Enjoy!

Wrote the check and completed the paper work on Tuesday. Can't hardly wait. By the way Scotty, How many coats of wax have you put on so far. Think that might also be my only Rt activity for a while due to this miserable weather.

Too cold here, even for that. I'll have to be satisfied to just look...and play with the radio dials. Sort of like with my Dad's '57 Chevy...LOL. The trunk 12V outlet worked well to attach the battery charger, though. Thanks, BRP, for not making this switched, like on the RS. I have an adapter for the Powerlet connectors I usually use, so the cigarette socket worked fine for charging. Just leave the lid unlatched.

Frank,
I bet your RT was on the same truck that delivered mine. I was talking to the driver and he said another dealer refused shipment because they had some stuff that he didn't order. He was also from either Alabama or Georgia and said he was going home for Christmas and somebody else would have to worry about what to do with the rest of his load. He had some Spyders and some ATVs still on the truck when he left.
Oh well, you've got it now so I guess it doesn't matter.

[frank3]

Dwight, I think you're correct. That's basically the same story I got. They're putting it together tomorrow and I'm going down in the morning to watch what I can and maybe take photo's. They won't let me in the shop area (std. "ins. won't allow customers") routine. If it looks like they will be finished early enough, I'm going back home to get the trailer and will bring it home tomorrow afternoon. Bad part is, the garage for the RT is around back in basement garage with 4' snow drifts so RT will occupy my pickup's parking spot in the garage upstairs. "She who knows best" approved my buying it but not taking her parking place. Small price to pay to have it home.
Brother in law was just over and we spent 2 hours talking about all the places to ride. He has a Goldwing and the other B-I-L has a BMW K series. They both live in Kansas about half way between Troy and Highland and a little West of 7 Highway. We'll make a trip to Topeka sometime, Think you'll like both of them. LOOKING FORWARD TO LOTS OF TRIPS.:2thumbs:
