Where did I state that it was OK for Spyders to burn? My issue was with the poster's characterization of the 2013 RT as a POS and stating folks should sell them before they are killed by them when only one in a thousand has burned, and there has already been recalls to mitigate the original issue, with another forthcoming . . . hyperbole: extravagant exaggeration, overstatement, magnification . . .
Feeding hysteria does no one any good, and, as a result of posts like this, there are Spyder riders who have 2013 RT machines sitting in their garages, afraid to ride, or who have sold them at a greatly reduced price, far below their true value.
BRP will resolve this issue . . . whether they do so because of tremendous largesse on the part of the company or fear of the NHTSA doesn't matter . . . a fix is coming and stirring the pot to create fear among 2013 owners and further reduce the resale value, artificially, is not needed nor appreciated.
As an aside, two weeks ago, I returned from a 5,390 mile ryde from my home in the WV eastern panhandle, to Tucson AZ, and back, fifteen days of ryding over a 19 day period, going through Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, Missouri,Illinois, and Kentucky . . . and my Spyder performed admirably . . . I did not turn into "Ghost Ryder" nor did my Spyder melt down on the side of the road . . . like I said . . . the post I commented on was hyperbole and unneeded.
