Disappointed at the Chicago Motorcycle show

[tenpin]

I was hoping to get a good look at the Spyders and see how the wife liked them but Can Am didn't have a presence at the show. Normally the local dealer has a booth but they were absent this year too.

BRP isn't doing them anymore. Must be really expensive to be there. They will probably loose some sales because of it.

[trikermutha]

Wow nobody local representing the Spyder. I figure Imotorsports or Neilsons would have been there..

[tenpin]

Nielsen has been there the past few years but didn't see them today.

[mstella101]

Yep I was there yesterday also-veery disappointed- shocked they wouldn’t have shown the Ryker! But Trikermotha, I hope one of wins that night vision camera- saw your name above mine for the raffle sign-up. Haha

[djhobin]

They(BRP) have not been at the Long Beach Motorcycle show the last 2 years. Disappointed indeed!

[Chupaca]

But yeah they have not gone to any shows for a couple years now. I think they have replaced shows with Demo days across the country. Many dealers that were at the show probably got some help from BRP and no longer do. So the demo days really help them when they come around. Our chapter for SRA has helped out here in deep south California....

Wow not sure what I would be winning since I have no idea what you are talking about

They weren't at the Javits Center in December either...

[MNBK]

They were not at the Minneapolis show, had some Spyders brought by local dealers. Rumor has it that the Minneapolis show is all done and that this was the last year. Time will tell.

They did attend the AIMExpoin Las Vegas in October. They had their entire line up at that show, but there aren’t many attendees at it like there are at the Progressive shows.

Trikermutha, The company that was selling or should I say asking for deposits on their night vision camera that won't be ready to ship for a couple of months! I saw your name above mine on their contest entry list. Can't remember the name of the company right now- I'll look tomorrow when I check out my goodie bag of cards and literature.

[Nobodyjj]

Not at the show in Toronto, Canada this weekend. They must be some dumb turds running BRP.

[Raknid]

same thing happening in the auto industry. BMW/Mini and Cadillac have pulled out of many of the auto shows to focus on more personalized events. Seems to be the trend. Not a good one for folks like me that enjoy a good bike or auto show. Although I do enjoy the Cadillac events they do each year near me. Very well done.

Hmmmm. I wasn't at the show this year.

[SpyderConvert]

I went to the Timonium (MD) bike show earlier this month and Motosports of Hanover, PA was there. The bike show this year was put on by Jam On Productions, the people that had originally put the show on did not do it this year. What a shame! If Jam On continues to be the presenter, I won't be going anymore.

[TraceyinOhio]

There was a presence at the Cleveland show a few weeks ago.

BRP did have a display at the January Progressive Motorcycle Show in Dallas.

[Chiisai]

At the St. Louis, Missouri car and truck show several weeks ago there were lots of Spyders there, even the Ryker. BRP was not there, the Spyders were from dealerships throughout the state. Maybe the dealerships around the Chicago area were not interested in promoting their Spyders. Or maybe the weather was to blame for their lack of attending and showing their products.

Thought it was interesting, just didn't think I did enough night riding to make it worth my riding, plus don't like spending money on products that are not out yet. Maybe next year after the bugs are out of system.

[Tyris]

My first Show and while I assumed that most of the show would not be of interest to me, thought there were would be a little more that would relate to the spyder. I ended up buying some chaps which may be able to help extend my riding season a bit and camera system by SYKIK to record journey and act as a backup camera, like the idea of seeing what is behind me, I don't twist as well as I should and have always disliked the mirror placement on my RT.

Still, think I think I will go back maybe every other year just to break up the winter, besides Chicago Deep Dish Pizza is pretty tough to beat. Not at the show, mind you, but about half mile away.

Sorry to have missed you, we took the Rykers to the Chicago Auto Show along with the big digital configuration display. We had the Indians at the motorcycle show. It was just a decision that was made so we could be at both shows. Its expensive and honestly hard to justify the cost but we did it this year.
