• 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.

Good one, but it ranks up there with pointing to the ground and telling someone "Hey, look, your head fell off." :roflblack:

UPDATE 2: Avril Foujour of BRP has made a statement to Asphalt & Rubber confirming the press leak.

"Avril" = April

"Fou"= Fool

"Jour"= Day

You know? It wouldn't be half bad if it was true. Hated to see Harley drop Buell. Someone should pick him up if it's not against his severance contract with Harley.nojoke
 
have to put them engines into something I like the dry weight :2thumbs::2thumbs:

Then you won't be 1 Trike Mike anymore! You haven't been that long enough - you need to be that way for a while before you buy something else. Don't you know that?!:2thumbs:

I'm doing good, you can no longer call me smylinachacan'tmakeupherf*kingmindonwhichbiketobuy. I'm due now though LOL!
 
I'd take one if they can make a 2 wheeler with a low enough seat height for me.
Kim is always joking and making fun of herself about her height, so I thought I'd add to it. Last year we had a meet & greet at the hillsdale diner and she was sitting on my bike checking out the floorboards and for some reason I asked her to stand up and her height did not change. I then made a comment to the fact that even standing the windshield had her covered. Remember that Kim.:roflblack:
 
:2thumbs: Yup I remember that! LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Hey I drove HDX's diesel truck up the driveway today - you would have LAUGHED at that one! Way too big, you couldn't see me in it.

Hoax or not. I'd say it is a smart move (not withstanding the proposed name).

Buell has a great following and instant name recognition. Harley says they were losing money on the Buell but hey! They lost money on every product they carried last year.

I'm not sure it was the motorcycle that lost money. If you check, Harley has been named one of the 10 worst managed companies in America.

Buell was already using the Rotax engine and Can-Am has always wanted a street presence. Looks like a marrage made in heaven to me.
 
Ironically , before the Spyder got introduced there were several 2 wheel cruiser prototypes spotted more than a few times on the BRP proving grounds in Fla.... They are out there boys , Buell or not , its just a matter of time. :doorag:
 
BRPeee's Palm Bay Florida test center is under some of the tightest security ever. Word has it they will be introducing a new product for each of the next 3 years. They sure don't let any moss grow on their feet....but it would be nice if they spent the time on improving existing product instead of being in a race against themselves to come out with new stuff !
