Two more weeks!

[PMay]

Hello everyone,

My name is Preston (new to the forums) I will have my 2012 limited edition RT in two more weeks.. I chose the Lava Bronze color..

For the past moth I have been reading these forums and watching misc videos on Spyder rides etc.. I am sooooo excited to be apart of the Spyder world!

My wife and I sold our bikes so that we could get the Spyder. Hope to make some spydie friends and possibly meet up for a ride sometime...

Going to bed now, 3:00am come early.. Gotta work to make those payments hahaha...

Goes to sleep dreaming of his bronze beauty... With wife on it of course hehehe

First of all thank you everyone for the warm welcome. I am busting at the seams in anticipation. . I almost bought the blue one last weekend due to no bronze in stock but I always jump the gun and settle for less than what I wanted so this time I waited!!

I am a little nervouse as I hear a lot of stories of improper setup from the dealers and hope this won't be the case!! Getting mine at louis powers ports in Greenville Tx.

In response to the riders in Longview and Tyler, I look forward to riding with you.

Gotta run, will check back later today.

Preston and Mrs Preston on your new Spyder. Wishing you many happy miles.

[Spyder Monkey]

I'm not in the area but I will be driving the Spyder up to Tyler this weekend to see family. I am usually on four wheels but I drive through Mineola at least a couple times a year on my way to my uncle's in Alba. Congrats,

Preston,
The most recent reviews on this board about Louis Powersports have been positive regarding their service and sales efforts. If you go back 2+ years the reviews were mixed.

Proper Initial dealer set-up is Extremely Important for you to have a trouble free start to your new Spydering Adventures

Asking them to go over the Pre-Delivery Inspection checklist with you (which they should anyways) will let them know that you aren't clueless about whats going on, and if they are a good dealer, they should be eager to help educate you on your new ryde

Hi Preston,

Glad you didn't settle and are getting exactly what you want. That is exactly the bike I plan on buying. I'm in the Dallas area so Louis Powersports is fairly close and is one of the dealers I am considering to get a quote from. I am hoping to get my license and purchase one by the end of Sept. I would love to hear what kind of deal they made and how well the do with the setup. I look forward to hearing about your experience.

Is the Pre-Delivery Inspection checklist signed off by the Tech or store manager? Does this information get back to BRP via serial numbers through the dealer? Is there a post assembly checklist? Are these BRP requirements? This kind of followup would provide for tighter quality and consistent setup. What do you think?

Wow thanks for all the great info, I already feel like part of the Spyder family and I don't even have it yet! My wife tells me I am obsessed! Lol

The price I have right now is 24,999.00. So far that is the best deal I have seen..

Please do let us know how well this dealer takes care of the setup. I am looking to buy within the next couple of weeks and they are one of the dealers of interest.

Are you dealing with Curtis at Louis Power Sports? That's who I dealt with on my Lava Bronze, great guy to deal with.

J.D. That's good to hear. I've been watching their pricing on eBay. I'm taking my riding course this weekend and hoping to get my endorsement sometime early next week. Then I'll give Curtis a call. I will also get a quote from the dealer closest to me, North Texas Yamaha then pick the best one.

After much discussion, my wife and I decided to wait and see what the 2013's will be like.. I'm chomping at the bits and still may not be able to wait, but who knows if I can hold out? Maybe there will be some great new additions to the new model.

Maybe better shocks? Added sway bar for better stability? Dunno... Just thought if going to spend that much money, maybe will be worth the wait to see what they produce...

On the other hand, should I wake up next weekend and say screw it I can't wait any longer, I will let u know. Lol... ( will probably be the case hahaha )
