• 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.

    Things continue to cost more!

    100% agree ARtraveler, I have a written signed purchase contract that both the dealer and BRP must honor the stated prices on the contract at the time of purchase. If either the dealer , BRP or even myself tried to change the prices charged or paid, it would be breach of contract which laws...

    Things continue to cost more!

    Your commodity surcharge should only be $400.00US if you put the deposit down for the 2022 RTL in October from what I can tell. If your dealer is trying to charge you more, like the $765.00US that is now posted on the website, something is not right as the commodity surcharge was only $400.00US...

    Hello Yes the $1,000.00 commodity surcharge post was from me, it was a Canadian price increase.
