One of the largest motorcycle events in the USA, and BRP spyder can only do A DAY at Daytona...
As a relatively new owner of a 2013 RT Limited I was expecting to see a week long promotion etc...
I still own my BMW, and BMW has a week long event (Daytona) ---- not so much for only owners but the Company is there doing their sales pitch...
so i guess we'll cruise around and maybe bump into other spyder owners.
ride safe

Thanks Lamont
My question is regarding FB and the Daytona Owners Event. I do not have access to FB during the day and there are a few people going that are not on FB at all. Is there another way to register for the owners event?

I made one one post with some thought. I will add some more for what they are worth to anybody.it takes a whole lot of people a whole lot of time and a lot of money to put a event on. Legal issues, permits, local oppsition or support (whjich changes with different officals at one event) , timing of event all play a part. This is not a opinion, but fact. I having helped put event for several organizations over the years. Many people appreciate the results, but some want more door prized, better weather and so. Thank you very much for all the work people have put in on Events such as Spyderfeast and many more.
Two groups that have many supported events over a year. H.O.G. Harley Owners Group has State rallys and a National one that I know of, May have district rallys.
GoldWing Road Riders of America have state, regional and a National rally every year.
I feel the advantage is more people will be able to Attend with this set up. Not every is able/willing/affird to travel 2 or 3 days to attend a event. Ride safe and have fun

Really the owners event is a big expense with little return. I think this is a smart move on their part. They get to help the owners without the restrictions of corporate. Maybe I'm just a cup is half full kind of a guy.
I like the idea. This should enable more riders to attend an event sometime during the year. No complaints on my end, I just love riding the Spyder and if I run into an event that's great! I agree that no matter what is done some people will not be satisfied.
Happy Spyderlovers

Owners Event Crawl
Although I haven't had an opportunity to attend any previous events, I prefer to be more optimistic about the potential of this new format. It may create an opportunity for a "very few" to try to attend all or most of the events. Maybe BRP could offer an incentive to those fortunate few who have the time and resources to complete an "Owners Event Crawl".
Maybe they should add an 8th event to make it more like!

Thank you BRP!!! Fresh Ideas are what the Spyder is all about!
I want to publicly say Thank you BRP! As has been stated, BRP doesn't have to do ANYTHING...but is willing to. That's fantastic news. This company is going to handout support for 7 events to likely be even better than they would be without that support. While I'm slightly disappointed that there could be 1 less Major event coming up, I'm glad that these people still have the desire to stay in touch with their customers in this way. They are trying new things, mixing it up and IMO that's in keeping with what the Can-Am Spyder is all about.
Thanks again BRP!

Well, we think that this is a great idea by BRP. If the owner's event was somewhere in the mid US then we would not be able to attend anyways. This way, perhaps we can attend a couple of sponsored events (Spyder Odyssey & Spyder Quest). Before you guys/gals pass judgement, why don't you wait and see how this plays out. At the end of the year you will either say it was a great idea or it was a bust. We think that it will be great. Now, if only our Canadian dollar would go back up so it doesn't cost us so much.

Amazing
Thanks Lamont for this news! This will only make the selected events even better! I am amazed every day at how so many on this board can do nothing but complain. As several have explained BRP has little to gain but PR, and their products are selling without any involvement in "owners events". I for one am thankful for their support. I might even go to SITR again this year if the chose that event to sponsor!

Question
Is there anyone who can provide or get a list of potential sponsors for these gatherings? Plus, is there any way an individual person can help or recommend? From what I read, it is only clubs or dealers that can propose sites to BRP. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

After looking at Docs Spyder calendar....
I am thinking I like these 7
Destination Spyder Daytona Beach
Spyder Rally Myrtle Beach
Spyderfest Magog Quebec
Destination Spyder Sturgis
Spyders in the Redwoods
Spyderquest Lake George
Hill Country Spyder Ride
This is a nice summer schedule with north to south east to west locations…I know someone mentioned how expensive Sturgis is but what a great opportunity for BRP to market the F3 . To the “two wheelers” who traditionally go to a event like this…Bikeweek too…it is a F3 market .I think this is a nice schedule. Another thought of mine is these events seem to be free to register and most of them vendors are free….it is hard to pay for all the food and hard work when the organizers are doing the event solo...with money out of their own pocket…BRP can really help these folks.IMHO

I'm perplexed at a lot of the angst expressed, here.
I go to events, primarily, to ride my Spyder. I really don't care who is the sponsor . . . if I can get there and have a great time riding, and meeting other folks who love Spyders, that is all that matters.
I could care less if it is "the" BRP event, "the" Spyder Quest event, "the" Ohio Spyder Rally, "the" SpyderFest event . . . it is all about "the" ride, and if I can get the time (and cash) to make the trip, I'm there!
The fact that BRP is willing to pony up some assistance to seven events, I think is great. It will allow event promoters to do more for the attendees . . . and pretty much guarantees a BRP presence, which is also great.
I can only assume the less than enthusiastic attitudes are the result of it being winter and many of us are suffering from Spyder withdrawal . . .

These are all in the Eastern US except for the SITR. STURGIS? have you ever been to Sturgis. I have many times. I bought my Spyder to get away from all this. There is a Spyder gathering two weeks before Sturgis in Deadwood that would be fine, but Sturgis no way. That's Heavy Harley Country overcrowded with all the kooks you could imagine. No Thanks.

It is not about crowds it is about MARKETING....RETURN ON INVESTMENT...BRP has got to market to the younger set with the F3,,,,us traditional Spyder riders ,,,most feel that the F3 is uncomfortable to ride and gives us a sore body. BRP has to have a presence at Harley events....if it was just marketing the RT or RS I would say no but i believe it is a must at Sturgis and Bikeweek....from the news articles I read they want to cross over into the sport 2 wheel market...got to be there to sell there. Thats why they are having Lamont bring his custom F3 to Bikeweek TO SELL F3's to a new market...and I believe Spyders in the redwoods is CALI,west coast.IMHO
