I talked on another thread yesterday about digging a hole with my :spyder2: and breaking the drive belt.
Had to have the :spyder2: towed to the shop. $100.00
Guesstimated $400-$500. Approximate total cost due to my errors: Belt: $350.00 plus $100 install plus expidite order $60.00. I did not want to wait a week for a normal order and went for the 3 day option. They said the 2010 RT belt was different from all the others and they did not stock it. Add $100 for the tow. Total cost so far $610. If the belt comes in timely (BRP does not have it backordered) I should get my :spyder2: early next week. This incident will be the longest I have had any :spyder2: in the shop. It appears we will miss a ryde this weekend.
All this, because I could not wait three days or so to go riding. Vent over. Be careful about spinning wheel on gravel is the lesson I guess.
