Uninvited Vendors

[Yol Bolsun]

I understand from another post that the vendors supporting this site were not invited to participate (display wares) at the event site, Maggie Valley Festival Grounds. I also caught someplace in another post that some will be in the Maggie Valley area nonetheless. Would it be possible, if not unethical, for them too post here where they might be found? Unofficially of course.

Lamont, if this post/thread is out of line, please delete.

From what I can understand, they will be at Lamont's BBQ. They will also be in their respective hotels, I guess they will let us know where they are at thru spyderlovers.com or the day of the BBQ.:2thumbs:

There are no vendors at the Owners Event but it has nothing to do with supporting this site. I know a few of the vendors will be at my BBQ and one with their trailer and there may be others at hotels and such but this is not like Spyderfest, this is put on by BRP and they have never had vendors at any owners event.

But not all of us are able to get to Lamont's and word of mouth is sketchy. Hope fully they can post here.

This will be my first BRP Owners event and I find it unusual that there will be no vendors there. :hun: I know the BMW national rallies by either BMWMOA or BMWRA always have vendors. Same with the Wing Dings. Why doesn't BRP invite vendors to their events? :dontknow:

:chat:

I don't know anything about BMW but Wingding is put on by GWRRA not Honda and when Honda did have the Honda Homecoming they did not have vendors there. They did have them at the Honda Hoot but that was a Honda Riders event and they even had other manufactures there. Guess you can ask BRP when you get there.:doorag:

The BMW RA and the BMW MOA rallies are not put on by BMW but rather by clubs that are independent of BMW. Therefore they have vendors.

If vendors are invited to a factory sponsored event I suppose the factory might be concerned that there is an implied endorsement by the factory of any vendor and product at the event. I doubt BRP wants to be in that position.

:agree: and it looks like BMW is included with Honda in not having vendors.

Okay, so it has been confirmed (and reconfirmed) that this will be a BRP sponsored event at the Maggie Valley Festival Grounds.

Now then, would vendors (who are in the Maggie Valley area and possibly attending the Spyder Owners Event as legitimate Spyder owners) please let us know where their trailers will likely be parked and their wares might be looked at or possibly purchased?

This could eliminate some unnecessary cruising of Soco Road.

We will be at the Owner's Event visiting with other SPYDER RYDERS and we will be easy to find. We will be glad to answer any questions about our products and help in any way!

Elka Suspension will not be at the Maggie Valley event or Lamonts BBQ(:cus:), however, Len from Cowtown will be there to sell Elka products on my behalf.

:dontknow: :sour: I thought you were going to at Lamont's doing installs.... I was going to have you fine tune the Elka's I won in Cuba.

Unfortunately the company decided that Lamonts BBQ may be just too much fun for me to handle and figured it was better to have me sitting at my desk doing paperwork. :(

Besides, you will be in great hands with Len from Cowtown. :thumbup:

[SPYDERPOPS]

SPYDERPOPS will be at Wheels Through Time, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. We will be at Lamont's to eat and meet everyone, keeping it a social event!

This is what i believe MV is a owners event from BRP sort of like a thank you for being a customer. You don't go to the coca cola's office to drink pepsi.
Lamonsters bbq is a different event from the the owners event plain and simple. jmo
