• 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.

    Another Sad Confession...

    As a very enthusiastic Spyder owner, it is difficult for me to post this, but I traded in my Spyder on Friday for a new Moto Guzzi Stelvio motorcycle. I have not posted on this before, as I really dislike negativity, and I do not want to imply in any way that my experience is shared by the vast...

BRP was present with a Spyder display, and a lot of interest was expressed by a number of police services. Demo rides were offered, and a lot of...

    Comfort Seat, Passenger Peg Extensions

    Yesterday, I took a vacation day and my wife Gail and I rode up to Uxbridge Motorsports Marine, where my new comfort seat and BRP passenger footpeg extensions were installed.

    Woo-Hoo Red Inserts for Red October!

    I have been waiting since October 2008 for my red Givi inserts. Thibault Importations has not been able to obtain any from Givi. Neither Thibault nor my dealer know what the problem is, but we are speculating that Givi may be holding back the red inserts exclusively for the BRP/Givi side cases...

    I was downloading a bunch of pics that have been sitting in my digital camera for a while now, and came across this one taken on Lamont's property last September at his barbeque. I thought it was kind of a cool shot, so here it is. Cheers, Bruce

    Givi Side Cases

    I am still waiting for my red inserts (ordered in October '08). No one seems to know where they are or when they will arrive in North America. I asked my dealer if they are on a slow boat from Genoa, or maybe got hijacked by Somali pirates.:doorag: No one seems to know. Yet, it looks like at...
