• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Maggie Valley Owner Event Survey

A few minutes ago I received an email and link for MV attendees to complete a survey on the likes, dislikes, where would you like 2012 event, etc., etc., etc.. It's a great opportunity to provide opinions.
 
I just completed the survey...I really enjoyed the Owner's event in Maggie Valley...I have never been to an owner's event where so much was given for free....I suggested Midwest, mountainous, rural or back to Maggie Valley...I'm up for what ever....it's all just a road trip....did say the need for vendors....host hotel near event....I enjoyed Maggie Valley....and what Can-am did for us...the food, give-a-ways, bike show ...it was fun....
 
I suggested Colorado for next year.. that could allow us a western version of Maggie Valley and allow more attendance from the Western States. I have no problem riding there from Florida

Oh!!!!! are you speaking for all of us Florida peeps????:roflblack:
 
I don't care where it is as long as it's not in a big city and there's good riding in the area. :doorag:

The question is should I still do the Lamonster BBQ if they move it from Maggie Valley??? :dontknow::popcorn:
 
Not to Hijack the tread. Lamont we are hooked on TN and NC and have taken a weeks vacation to do the Lamonsters BBQs and will continue to do so one way or another. Meeting with you and all the Spyderlovers is a stand alone event and I'm sure if you BBQ they will come .

Not yes, but hell yes.

I just completed mine. I really let them know how disappointed I was about the "no vendors allowed" policy. I know, I know it was a corporate event but I still think vendors should be allowed access in some way even if it's on an adjoining site. As far as next year I said they needed to get the info out sooner and to get the event host hotel in the same town as the event. I think that was very poor planning on their part last year. Now for the specific location I selected Montana. A little further west but not so far that those of us east of the big river to not make and closer to the Left coast without going to the other side of the mountains.

I spent some time with SpyderPops @ Maggie Valley when he was having trouble setting up to sell his stuff. He discovered that Maggie Valley will not issue a vendor license to a non-resident. It didn't matter if BRP wanted vendors or not, Maggie Valley doesn't. We figured they don't want outsiders coming in and competing directly against their residents. I do not know if this policy played into BRP's decision on the site or if it was something discovered after the site was announced.

I also fussed at BRP on their FaceBook page about announcing the event in one town & then promoting the hotels of a different town.

Have not received a survey...
 
Just sent mine in. I myself would love to see somthing out midwest :thumbup: I hope they can give us a lot of heads up time.Lamount you need to plan on moving the BBQ if need be. Someone might have a place as big as yours to hold it.:yikes:
 
Just completed mine, being that this was my first owner's event I had no complaints. As far as the host hotel, I'm in agreement that it should be in the host city/town. I stayed at the Microtel and had a great time. Next year I'll try to make it to Lamonster BBQ.
 
PM sent!

Yea, right! Compete against all those local Spyder and Motorcycle Venders. Fine, MV can keep to itself as far as I'm concerned. There are much nicer areas in NC that are motorcycle friendly I'd rather go to anyway. :mad:

Before you get yourself all worked up you might want look into that. I know that they have outside vendors at this event and it's held in the same place.

Survey

Just filled out my survey. Would love to see the next event in the Durango Colorado area.
 
Not to Hijack the tread. Lamont we are hooked on TN and NC and have taken a weeks vacation to do the Lamonsters BBQs and will continue to do so one way or another. Meeting with you and all the Spyderlovers is a stand alone event and I'm sure if you BBQ they will come .

:agree::agree:(Both of us agree)
 
Did mine this evening. I started a thread after the event looking for input. Hopefully BRP saw it and took note.
