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.

Unfortunately BRP has been slow to announce dates or location in the pass. If you're waiting on that it may be too late to make any real plans. My guess is it will be the second or third week of June and there are rumors that it may be back in Maggie Valley.

I would say Spyderfeast, way ahead if only one. Owners event was interesting, but no vendors in the past. No planned ahead rides. Good food and information. Time to talk to other Spyder riders.
Spyderfeast has had planned rides, good vendors, good food, time to talk with other riders, light shows, fireworks, excellent information and more.
I understand performance testing is out, but drag racing is in. View neat mods on other bikes. Cool shirts. This will be my third, bigger and better every year.
Did I mention, I like Spyderfeast ?

ADDED. As posted later, BRP did in 2012. I did not go to Durango. I should have noted that.

I was at the BRP event in 2010 which was somewhat of a dud but they have been better since. I would have liked to go this year but can't wait to make my plans so I'm returning to Spyderfest for the third time. :yes::yes::yes:. The MoGang do a great job at putting this event on. :2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs:

I would put my money on SpyderFest 2013. The BRP group mimics our model from what I understand. Hope to see you there! I would love to make both event's, but like you, I can only make one. Since I'm one of the organizers of SF I have to give that one the highest priority. I am fortunate enough to be the pyro guy for MoGang and we do put on one heck of a show. This year's show should really rock! Hope you can make it.

The BRP event did have a number of planned rides, as well as group rides in 2012. They are learning.

:agree: As a relatively new rider (2 seasons), I've been to the BRP event in Maggie Valley, Lamonts BBQ, Spyderfest twice and SITA. Each is unique in its' own right and offers different things. We look forward to Spyderfest because of all the great folks that we know will be there. For some it's the ride there and the event is secondary. The one thing I can say is since it's a Spyder event the people that go tend to be very friendly and welcoming. I have always had a great time at all of these events, it's the people.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the BRP 2010 event held in Cheeecargo? I had a fantastic time at the 2011 get together which I believe was in Maggie Valley.

You are right! Picture all the Spyders corralled in a small gravel parking lot. Shuttle buses going around the lot to take you to another area to see and test ride BRP products. No rides other than the short demos. Nice lunch, Mexican, not BBQ. The registration table was setup so that people were standing in the single lane drive that the :f_spider:'s and the buses were using to get to the parking lot. Surprised no body got run over :gaah:. The main starting point was in downtown Chicago :lecturef_smilie: not a good place for riding at all.
I have not been back to one but I think they have made improvements.

Sometimes you need to know what you did wrong to know what to do right.
pps: The next year was Maggie Valley and it was night and day different. :thumbup:
Your observation was spot on by the way. :doorag:

Observation from across the fence..."Harley Rider24/7"
We've only made Cuba & Durango,, Both were just what I was looking for, due to the fact I was along ways from all my troubles at home...As if there were any.. The names of the venues tell you right off what they are about.. Cuba "SPYDERFEST"was about vendors,Rydin, and Parties..Durango "Owners Event"was about owner's and socializing with the manufacturer.A chance for the Manufacturer to give back a little to the comsumer. Ever been to a Ford,GM, or Mopar BBQ..
It's all about the ride and the fun you have getting there,and the enjoyment you create for yourself while your there. Hope to see ya there, if not maybe somewhere

I rode 1475 miles each way to Spyders in the Adirondacks this past year and it was well worth the trip. I wouldn't miss Spyderfest but each event has its own strength and mostly each event has some of us!!
