    Default doing what we can....

    Ever hopeful!!!!
    FB got her new 2014 panels this week.. we will be installing them this weekend! the flash to the ecm seemed to help a lot.. but we have not had HOT weather to test it out. Hoping the ventilation with the new panels will help cool the engine bay!!!!
    Going to Spyderfest will be the start of a good test! Ever optimistic.. We REALLY want to make this spyder work!!!!!!

    Well three of the panels were ok.. the left front panel was not final sanded and clear coated .. pretty rough... and will not go on the bike like that.... why would they send that part out????? I'm at a loss to figure this out... They have NO understanding of quality control....
    So...I would not put it on.... BRP would say that we put the part on and it is used and will not get us the right part.... that is how things work with brp... so we will come to spyderfest 1/2 assed fixed... which Is the brp way.... FB will be coming to Spyderfest ... half done... the right side is on, but the left side is not...pretty much SUCKS!!!! but we are becoming used to it dealing with brp...
    on the bright side.. folks will be able to see the difference between the 2013 and 2014 side panels.... all ya have to do is look at each side of FB's bike....

    What a shame BRP is........I mean, PLEASE !!!!!! You'd think they would inspect each part before sending it out to the customer.
    Bring it to Spyderfest and park next to their trailer so everybody can see their quality contol

    ....and we're gonna ride, we're gonna ride.....
    ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds, with
    the devil close behind,.....we're gonna ride....
