• 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.

Orbital Blue RT-SE5
I would love to tour the Can Am Spyder RT manufacturing facility in Canada.

I wonder if it is possible to take a tour, and see them building the Spyders, maybe they would give me a shirt, or maybe a Rotax 1400cc motor, that can be easily transplanted into our RT's

It would be a nice ride to Canada, June through August.

Who's up for a tour.

:2thumbs: I,m up for that. But i don't think BRP is !!! Get a free T-shirt, man what ever you are smoking i would like some to.
I know some have tried to have a tour and where unsuccessful . Maybe if we get a group together and schedule a tour that would work ?

For those folks new-er to this message board (and for those who need a bit of nostalgia) here are some collected links to the Homecoming 2008 event.

It was our first trip to downtown Canada, and absolutely one of the best weekends I have had thanks to BRP and so many of you all. :doorag: nojoke

And, yeah--there were free t-shirts and a tour of the factory...

The Rotax engines are built in Austria.

glad you had a good time but, downtown canada? wow i didn't know we all lived in one city.:gaah:
 
CanAm Spyder Creation

Wow! Nice video,

I am in, when do we go?

What was the time frame there, for reference.

If it was more than 6-12 months ago things may have changed a little.

Like maybe they have that new DOHC vtec-i V4 1800cc engine out that gets 43 mpg, but weighs 3 ounces less than the 998cc.

But puts out 165-h.p. @ 8500-rpm & 135-lb/ft of torque @ 3000-rpm.

The trans is a CVT full automatic that also has a semi-manual push button mode on the same trans.

That thing would be a beast.

Well, that's on my wish list.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I wouldn't mind doing that tour again. I think I would like to spend more time in Montreal though. I still want to get to the Northeast as well. One of the few places in the states I haven't hit.
