I'll see if George and Bruce want to go

[johnnyg]

Rl your coming up for this ride? If so will meet every one there.What time do we meet there RL ? This is your ride jc

[Recon]

NOPE....NOPE, I absolutely refuse to say I will be there again until we actually have our Spyder home again. Maybe that's the problem, BRP knows we want to ryde and they are holding it for ransom. Now let's see, this is on the 19th and BRP says they will ship my ECM on the 15th; don't even ask me if I have faith in seeing our byke by the 19th !!!!!

HOPE to see y'all there or someday in the future :dontknow: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray:

[johnnyg]

John,
NO sorry to say it is our weekend to be south. You should be there by 11:45 as Bill usually keeps his group on time and they are supposed to be there by noon.
Bill Royal was at the Linger Resturant with his group the Motorcycle Sport Touring Association-MSTA. They are a great group of riders that Mary and I have met at lunch rides for several years now--when we could make it.
They are very friendly and fun to be with.
Bill rides a Honda ST 1300 and has long silvery hair pulled back into a pony tail. A super guy. So have fun and ryde safe. C-YA RL

Can't. My last riding day will be this Thursday the 10th. Going in for back surgery on Friday and my Neuro says no racquetball or motorcycle riding for 6 months. :gaah:
I play about 18 hours of racquetball a week and put on about 20k miles a year on the bike, so this is a total bummer for me.
I'll be ready just in time for the Smokies though!

John,
Yes the lunch ryde is still scheduled for this coming Saturday.
I will be ryding up from Avon (maybe with a few others) and meeting you there for lunch. If you are organizing a ryde for after, that might be nice.
I hope to see you there. C-YA RL

Mike & Sis

[InspectorGadget]

What a wonderful day and great gathering. 16 spyders is the largest group we have had lunch with so far. Mary and I really enjoyed seeing everyone again and meeting the new faces.
Mary and I are now even more excited about ryding to Cuba with some of you.
Doc and Johnny--thanks for posting the photos and the link.

Gary,
I am so sorry to hear that you are still having problems with your RT. I'm sure it is very disheartning for you.
I hope they get the sitution corrected soon, as I know you and Carol are missing the ryde outings. We missed seeing you and look forward to you being back on the road real soon.
C-YA RL and Mary

[BikerDoc]

As usual our photographers did a magnificient job, and the weather was letter perfect for a great riding day... I simply did not want to return home..

[Barbary]

Today was a wonderful day for riding... I wish I could of been there... Thanks for sharing the pics....:2thumbs:

[Mudpuppy2]

WOW:ohyea: 16 Spyders all in one place at the same time That's the most we have seen together at once. We had a great day meeting some familar faces and some new faces. RECON, keep after that dealer and factory so we can get to meet you on the next ride. Great pictures:2thumbs:

[annieleilani]

Had a great time as always!!!! Great to see everyone and meet new people!:2thumbs:

Lots of highest BRP mechanics are involved with your Spyder; we missed you yesterday and hopefully is not going to take much longer.

[Mike and Marcia]

Gerat photos Johnnie Thanks Carol!!!:ohyea::doorag::joke:

[Recon]

Lots of highest BRP mechanics are involved with your Spyder; we missed you yesterday and hopefully is not going to take much longer.
Thanks doc; but is getting very disheartening to say the least. I haven't lost faith in west coast and know they are trying their best, but momma is getting ready to jump the BRP ship and make me get something more reliable as far as getting support for the problems. I don't think this is subject to FL lemon laws since it's not always the same down time problem, but to lose the ryde for more than 25% of the time we have owned it with 3 different failures is getting tedious.

[johnnyg]

First of all I want to say we are very happy with our RT. Now I think it's high time that BRP gets off their A____ and show their customers that they appreciate the wealth we made for them with the spyder. I don't know if it's the line of thinking in Quebec, but here in the US when you sell something you sell it with pride and dignity. Trying to be polite with this, you people in Canada correction I mean Quebec, its high time you get your but in gear and start backing up what you are selling. I don't see why someone can pay 25K for something that they can't even use because the people selling these machines are sitting around like a bunch of morons. Its almost like all they want is the money and no customer service. It's getting harder and harder when someone asked me what do you think of the spyder, to give it thumbs up, knowing there are customers like Recon that have given them more time than you would any motorcycle dealer in this country and no positive results as of yet. I'm addressing this as a concern customer to the President and the Owners of BRP. JC

[Recon]

We appreciate your support guys and Carlo did expedite the ECM that was backordered, but that still was after a month of waiting. I have read of them sending techs to repair major problems elsewhere, but how long must we wait before they give some tech support to west coast that is meaningful. I think they could do better in helping the good dealers they have before they themselves get discouraged with BRP.
I think we have been good ambassadors for their company and really only ask for timely reliable servicing when we encounter a malfunction. I understand backorders, but I waited 3 weeks for a brake cable, 5 weeks for an ECM module, and 3 weeks for a rear air shock. BRP, you are a major corporation and that sort of delay is really not good for customer relations.
I still love this Spyder when we are able to ride it but I am having a hard time convincing my wife to keep this motorcycle when she knows we never had to wat more than 3 days for a repair on our Honda, Harley, or even Indian which was a much smaller company.

[effgjamis]

Sat was great.. and it was super to see old faces as well as new ones.

I thank, JohnnyG for the framed picture it was great and very thoughtful of you and Carol. Thanks again will appreciate it for years to come.
