Service Bulletin
My dealer's service manager phoned this morning wanting to know what number is stamped on that little black vinyl tab that came with my keys. He said BRP yesterday issued a bulletin because some ignition switches are, or may become, inoperable which would require replacement of everything that's key operated. My number isn't on the list so no problem for me.

Mine's got "1998" stamped on it... Can you find out if that's a good number to have?
And, can we get a link to this bulletin online?

You seem rather happy, at another person's discomfort with unsettling news...

I refuse to be tethered by potential maintenance problems . . . I'll ride when and where I want and if my Spyder breaks, well . . . I'll deal with it when it happens. I have several multi-day trips on the drawing board for this year, and a trip from West Virginia to Tucson, AZ and back, next year . . . Life is too short to worry about things that might never happen.

Amen, brother! I learned long ago that carrying a credit card and some cash will get you home somehow, or get you back on the road. The unknown is part of the adventure...like trying to drive a Model A across the continent back in the 30's (or riding a Triumph to Michigan's UP in the 60's). You just find a way to deal with it, and go with the flow.

There was a model "A" for sale at a local car show last week for $2500. It looked pretty original too a little long in the tooth but it ran.

I got an email from my dealer advising that my VIN was listed on the bulletin. However, they needed the key tag number to see what action is needed, if any. I emailed them the key tag number and will hear back from them on Monday.

I may have to go ask for one for my Spyder!
I bought a few to give out but I have never received one........maybe we can gift each other.
If you ryde like there's no tomorrow, there won't be any

I think you are being taken to literally. But then, I think of Flamingobabe.......
Lesson one dating back to Cub Scout days.....Be prepared.....
Identify what you have control over and find peace with what you don't.

You never what you are going to encounter on a trip and that's part of the attraction.
Otherwise why bother?
As long you get home somehow in one piece.
I'll have to dust off my collection of old Apple bumperstickers.
The journey is the reward.
Saturday, 22 March, I was 130 miles from home when I got a code and limp home mode, then it stalled. I was with a pretty large group pf folks on the way to a brunch in Richmond VA. BRP towed me to a dealer in Fredericksburg VA, where my Spyder still sits, and I was over 100 miles from home. Through the day, many of the folks on the ride came by the dealer's to see if I was OK, and two stuck with me. By the way . . . when the dealer contacted BRP to order the split hose, BRP told them to check out some other stuff, and, according to the dealer, they are replacing: "a sensor, new hoses, a purge valve, actually a whole bunch of little things . . . " Once it was determined that my Spyder was staying there to wait for parts, these two folks offered to get me back to Warrenton, VA, an hour closer to home, and my daughter met me there. The young lady let me ride her brand new 2013 RT (she got it in October) and she rode 1+ with the guy who lived in Warrenton . . . and going to Warrenton was 25 minutes out of her way to get home. My thanks to Ron and Shana, and all the other folks who offered moral support through the day . . . I continue to be amazed how great our Spyder family is! The day was an adventure!
