    Default Squared Away sabbatical!

    No worries, we are planning on being back on board by August. We were selected to be Experience Specialists, where we will have a truck and a trailer stuffed with 4 brand spanking new 2020 Spyder Rt’s, visiting dealerships and leading test rides! Our operational area is primarily Texas, with a few other states thrown in! Our Never Ending Road Trip starts with training in Florida starting in 2 weeks! We are so excited to do this! Imagine, getting paid to take folks on rides on a completely redesigned Spyder! So, we are trading riding and wrenching for riding and fun! Hope to see everyone on our trip!!

    How nice for you two. Keep us grounded folks updated with photos too. Is there an extra bunk in that rig?

    Wish you the best. Couldn't be a nicer and more experienced couple for the job. BRP could do with some positive PR.

    Thank you for the kind words. 10 years and we are an overnight success! 2000 Spyders properly aligned, and thousands more repaired. MSF Safety instructor, Total Control Three wheel instructors, Ann being the highest mileage Spyder Rider on the planet, might have qualified us. We hope we can share our passion and introduce people to the joy of riding. I have been a rider for nearly 50 years! I’ll admit, Ann is a far better Spyder Ryder. By far! Most folks know I still ride 2 wheels. I’ll continue as long as I can. I do love Spyders, and see me on one. Meanwhile, our focus is to showcase the 2020 RT.

    Sounds cool. When you say training, I take that to mean, teaching others the details about the rider features of the new machines. Or are you doing maintenance training classes for shop employees?

    At a guess, Route 1 Motorsports? Or is this 5 days at multiple dealers around Florida?

    Ann will have her share of good seafood on this trip...

    Thanks for posting up on this. I heard about it through the "grapevine" but did not know if it was true.

    You folks should make good Ambassadors for the product. Your knowledge about the product is a great asset to all who are interested.

    There are currently some questions about adjustability of the RT concerning handlebars. Can you post up any information you may know in that thread?

    Just as a matter of interest Would you still be able to supply the wedgie’s for those riders that would like then whilst you are on the road or is there an alternative supplier dealing with sales whilst your away
    I wish you well on your travels and it will be interesting to get reports on how the 2020 RT’s perform during the period you have them

    PM sent.
    Handlebars look like F3 bars, so will/should adjust. Once I have laid hands on, I’ll be able to answer questions. Feel free to post them in this thread, and I will address them as I learn. Looking forward to learning all about them!

    Do you plan to have someone do alignments in your stead while you're on this adventure? I'd volunteer but I'm not in the best locale to serve the wider market. Besides, summertime is play time for me!
