• 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.

ABANDONED BY BRP !!!


Coming back from Hill Country Ride in Boerne, TX I saw a Can AM depot east of El Paso with 2000+ units just sitting there crated up. Question was why and why in this location? Anyone around El Paso know anything about this? I could not get anyone to divulge any information. Maybe new 17's waiting for delivery or left over units that had not sold.

Ron,
Have you ever thought that Spyders get sold, because of what WE say about them? :D
I've sold three for my dealer, and one each; for two other dealers! :D

Certainly! I don't know how you would ever find out. But I have to believe that a respectable number of Spyders get sold right here on Spyderlovers. By this I mean that people are convinced they want one, in large part, due to what we post on this forum.

If I were looking for a Spyder I know I would end up here for sure. I also think that is why the average ratio between 'Members' and 'Guests' is 3 to 1 in favor of Guests.

I also believe that BRP appreciates the significance of a forum like this which can help make or break their product.

In short. The primary purpose of this forum is not to sell Spyders. But it certainly does.

A few dealers restack their empty crates.
 
USED TO BE VERY RELIABLE

I do a lot of touring during the spring and summer. Spyder service is frequently not readily available should I have a serious issue. However, two years ago I had a flat front tire. Couldn't be patched as it was a tear into the sidewall. I was in Libbey, Montana. Local tire dealer no help with replacement. Called dealer in Kalispell and they overnighted a replacement tire. Les Swab changed the tire and I was in my way. Sorry to hear the Kalispell dealer is no more. They gave me great service..if they are gone, closest might be Spokane or Gillette.
Might have to think more about routes in the future.

I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE Kalispell DEALER was behind in their payments. They were always very reliable and helpful to me.

Jack, those were water and snow machines made in Mexico and brought over for distribution.

I used to run flatbed and took freight into the military bases in and around El Paso.

Since there was very little freight coming out of El Paso, a lot of guys hauled the Can Am stuff out.

I always deadheaded out of there. The Can Am stuff was too cheap to haul out.
