• 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.

Danica Patrick rescues Steven Tyler from the Paparazzi with a Can-Am Spyder

The consensus on Girls on Spyders seems to be that for the rest of us non-famous people, the Spyder works exactly the opposite. It attracts the paparazzi! You can't go anywhere without cameras coming out, people wanting closer look, pressing into your personal space when you're just trying to fill her up to get back on the road. Sigh. :rolleyes:

So while it's not a horrible commercial and I kinda liked parts of it, it's clearly not a commercial for the rest of us. Not sure it's hitting the target.
:dontknow:

I liked most if it. Anything positive that raises awareness and brings attention to the Spyder I think is good. It is just a commercial, and commercials should be fun. This one is fun. Faran, you are "Right On" about it being exactly the opposite with us non-famous people! Remember the "Rock Star" slogan? The Spyder does attract so much attention. I've been on mine 3 years and it still garners attention everywhere I go. :ani29:
 
Look how successful Honda was "way back when" with their "You meet the nicest people on a Honda", campaign. The brand took off like hotcakes, the motorcycle was then for everyone, and the whole genre just took off.

:agree: BRP; take a lesson from "Mother Honda"! :2thumbs:
 
They do need to work on getting younger people interested. I think the styling of the spyder is going to have to change to help make that appeal

Re-style. It's getting about time. I was looking at the models in the new 2014 parts and accessory catalog, I kept seeing snowmobiles with wheels in front. I am buying a 2014 anyway--but...:dontknow:
 
truth in the commercial for me

Though I dont hate or dislike the add there does ring some truth in it for me. I am no celebrity I live in a house full of females, my wife, my 6 year old, found out yesterday the cats a girl...... how many babies do cats have in a litter :gaah: . But this is my escape vehicle lol . I am like umm I need oil im gonna run into town for a bit lol:thumbup:
