A Homecoming is just that.

[spyderCodes]

Ok, my history with the BRP Homecoming event is questionable and I've said I was wrong a number of times.
The feathers of the crow are starting to get stuck in my gullet.
But, even though some feel that it bears endless reminders, I don't think so.

I am looking forward to the first part of June 2017.
Because it will mean I have been married to the only girl for me for 43 years and we will be celebrating it whilst on Spyders taking an extended trip.
Something we love to do.

I've recounted my desire to see, feel and experience the culture and environment that gave birth to the Spyder.
And meet those who changed my world.
Maybe some might still want to meet me too.

Yeah, I know all the issues.
And quite frankly compared to the immense joy that I get from stradling this unlikely and ungainly machine, I couldn't care less.
I've been watching this company since they called themselves Bomb-bar-deer for the US market.
At the time we probably couldn't handle Bombardier (rhymes with hay)

But they made the slickest snow machines around.
And they did it from the backwoods of Quebec.
They branched out, made another innovative machine, the Sea Doo.
I owned one of them.
I won't tell you how long it took me to figure out how that thing worked.
No one had ever thought of it before.

You have to hand to those guys and gals.
They think stuff up that has never been tried.
Then they run with it.

Getting back to the issues.
Yep they have them.

But if every product you made was something that no one had ever thought of, wouldn't you expect a few?

I am so looking forward to talking to the folks that said "A snowmobile you ride on the roads is a really cool idea."

If I didn't already know you, Roger, I'd want to meet you! I know you and I'd want to meet you again!

Pure joy is what ryding my Spyder is to me, too. :thumbup:

May 27 2017 will be our 45th Wedding Anniversary. CONGRATULATIONS on your 43rd! Looking forward to seeing you in Valcourt in June!

Me, three! :thumbup:

:agree:

I DON'T already know you, Roger, except for here on Spyderlovers. And I'm looking forward to meeting you.

Again, I agree. That has always been how I describe riding a Spyder to those who ask me. (And I'm just "guessing" because I've never ridden a snowmobile.)

Well

Roger, I only know you from SL but I am willing to drive 3000 miles one way to meet you!:yes::yes: Having spent a weekend with the lead designer of the spyder and Seadoo I can tell you there are some brilliant people working on these machines, and believe it or not they really listen to what we say. He spent a couple of hours in a focus group type setting sketching our ideas and instantly sending them back to Valcourt!:bowdown:

 

[murphybrown]

Awesome Roger...you rock

Yep...you are da man....and for anyone who has not had the pleasure of meeting Roger in person...figure out a way to do that...definitely worth your time. See you in Valcourt Roger (and Gloria) if not before. My life is much better because our paths have crossed and because of our beloved Spyders...:thumbup::yes:
