On January 21st 26 people got together to discussforming a Spyder Ryders club. We met,agreed on a very informal structure (for now) and scheduled our nextmeeting. On February 4th weheld our second meeting and planned our first event. Jim Potts Motor Group sponsored our meetings.
At the International Motorcycle Show about 30 members of theWIILY (Wisconsin, Illinois Y) Spyder Ryders supported BRP at their booth bytalking to attendees about our experience with our Spyders. What we did was what most of us do every timewe need to fill up at the gas station and get stopped. Jim Potts arranged for a bus, lunch andshirts (with “Ask me about my Spyder” for the event. Here is a note from the BRP District Managerabout our participation:
“Amajor success at this year's show was the presence of Spyder Owners and Riders inthe booth selling the public on just how great the machines really are. Jim Potts Motor Group organized a bus full of owners (approximately 35)to come to the show wearing T-shirts that said "Ask me about mySpyder". These folks stole the show with firsthand experience andstories being related to potential customers.”
We are offto a good start and plan on group rides to Spyderfest, Owners Event andlocally. If you have interest in joiningour group let me know and we will get you on our email list.
