Hey Carol this is Pat on Johns computer over here at the coast. Its a little bit cooler than it is there I'm sure. I still don't think Clawsons is going to let you ride there spyder thats on the show room floor. My bet is like I told you at home yesterday, you will come riding up on the back of Bobs motorcycle. You should have taken me up on my offer to ride my spyder and I could have rode one of my bikes. Call me and tell me the verdict.

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.
Brake failure...again and again

yeah, yeah...I know...shoulda, woulda, coulda :dontknow:
I am going to call BRP later (work has been complicated today).
I am going to hold Clawson's to their word, I want to drive a Spyder to this thing, preferrably mine. It is not over until I start singing. We could not dispose of our pet issues until Friday morning so we need to be in Lemoore until then. We will keep in touch..

Carol, how did you make out? Did they get you a ryde?

Thank you for caring :thumbup:...the saga continues.
The parts were not ordered until Tuesday, and someone forgot to consult a calendar to see that Wed. was a national Canadian Holiday. No mail moved out. So no parts for my spyder. They now have to replace the entire wiring harness and Low pressure sensor. The dealership has gratefully lended me a silver spyder. I am sorry that I will not be able to show off my beautiful PE #1032 Spyder with the mods and disco lights (could not see them well during the day anyway). But I am very happy that I will be leaving tomorrow morning for Hollywood and that I can fully participate in all the fun stuff with "my" Spyder. Life is full of surprises, those that can roll with the punches seem to move further ahead. I am just gonna roll out to So Cal tomorrow.

I believe that this was the best for you, Carol. Have fun and be careful!

Back from the LA gathering, loved meeting everyone and enjoyed myself beyond words. Expected to hear a message left from the dealership that my bike was fixed and ready to go....no message. Guess I get to keep the 2009 a little longer...that's okay, we want to clean it up a bit first!

continuing saga of PE1032...maybe it was the shoes?
Short version:
picked up bike on Friday, turned in loaner (clean, full of gas and Hollywood plate attached).
Drove my bike to gas station, and shopping -about two miles. Let bike cool down and drove another two miles. Called dealership.
Drove my bike back to dealership, picked up salesperson for second opinion/witness, drove bike another mile or so.
Drove bike back to dealership service dept., picked up loaner, apologized to everyone and drove loaner home.
Husband Bob said I should offer them $$ for the loaner, since it is "used" and lives here part time.
No brake issues yet, I am confident that was fixed. However, driving through gears 1-3, the bike pops, backfires and tries to die. I could not imagine how upset the service dept. was to see it return. I really feel sorry for them. Good news is there is not much left to replace. I hear that my bike and another PE have been a constant pain. Glad that one of the salepersons took the time to ride with me and verify that it was not my driving that caused the issue, they drove for less than a mile and it acted up worse for them. I had left Bob at home working on his HD, and confident that all was okay, return the demo, buy shoes and bring my bike home. GEEZE, I only bought 2 pair of tennys :cus:

in response: while the bike was in for brake issues related to the lower brake sensor malfunction, the entire wiring harness was replaced due to some other mysterious issue. The brakes seemed fine when I picked up the bike, but they never gave me any problems until after I got home (whether this was coincidence, Karma, mileage or other reasons unknown). I found as soon as I drove more than a mile, filled up the gas tank, in 105 degree heat on crowded streets, the bike started acting like the engine was blown. Due to the wiring harness replacement; I would hope it was just something not hooked up correctly? :dontknow:
