Thanks for the info Pretty cool.
I see the deadline for submitted events is Feb 25.
Any idea when they'll announce the seven they will sponsor?
I'm going to have to start planning now if I'm going to make that Quebec run in 2017.
Whoops. Never mind; I clicked the enclosed link and found "
- BRP will contact the winners via phone by March 6, 2015
That's a neat way to go with it. Should help spread it out so more people can attend events closer to where they live.
And give excuses for more road trips across the country

This concept could be interesting. About the only thing, I disliked about previous events (missed the last two) was the lack of other vendors, even thou I realize why. Honda got in the same situation with the Honda Homecoming at Marysville, Ohio (since cancelled). People were trying to hold Honda resposible for a vendors product, so they moved the vendors off site. BRP controlled entry to the event so I would believe they could be held legaly responsible as a company.
Now about the good things about the Owners Event and Spyderfeast (two big events/more once) I have attended), I am limited to a million words and that is not enought tell all the good things about them
Ride safe and have fun

Valcourt is just too far away for those that live in the west coast, hopefully one of the 7 events ends up somewhere over to the west side, washington, oregon, etc.

Very disappointing decision. If they don't feel they have the ability to hold put on a quality event they can hire companies that excel in that area. They now lose control of their message and image. They must have cut their marketing budget big time to have to go this route. Based on the submission requirements (none) this is just a popularity contest for dollars.

Hope the MOGANG gets an app in, they do such a fantastic job of helping Len put on a great event. Looking forward to Spyderfest. Penny

I agree, very disappointed. Was told the event would be announced by end of December and it is now February and no event. I was hoping for a location to ride to with other spyders. Now it seems that they don't want to put on the event this year, or 2016. I for one don't want to ride to Sturgis with 600,000+ other bikers and pay too much, it is a nice area to ride and a great place to have the event, just not at the same time. I would like to have seen 3-4 events around the country set up by BRP, NE, SE, CENTER, WEST. pick a place in each quadrant and have the event. To invite yourself to an event that someone else has already started and worked to get going seems a little bold and lazy.
Hey, I hear you are going out to eat supper tonight, I think we will join you. This is what it sounds like to me.
I am very disappointed, after waiting since DECEMBER, to now find out that is basically cancelled. If I wanted to go to the New York, Missouri, or California gathering, to name a few, I would go to them and I do.

I am not sure I like this. Guess we will wait and see. Looks like they are still doing the Daytona day though. Hmmm.

So glad we did the owners event last year and plan to attend Spyderfest this year.
Very disappointing that BRP essentially cancelled the owners events.

Texas hill country is a great ride.

Except for 2017 in Canada, BRP is getting out of holding an annual event and instead tagging along on established get togethers.

But I wonder what kind of strings come with the sponsorship money!

SITR is a great event and I'd "vote" for that! We're already planning to attend.
I was, however, hoping that the "Owners" event could be out here on the Left Coast as a completely separate event! We have so few big events to attend out here (compared to the eastern US), and now this won't be one....It was a long shot, but now a no shot.

Considering the Spyder, it's only fitting BRP would like to be the third wheel!!

Actually, their inviting themselves along and they're picking up part of the tab.
Better than a poke in the eye or nothing at all.
Just say'n.
I sometimes don't get the since of entitlement. Let's not forget...BRP doesn't have to do any type of 'owners event', they choose to.
