Factory Tour just for SpyderLovers prior to Americade?

[Lamonster]

Just got this from BRP and Steve was going to post this but he's away right now. So what do you think? :doorag:

Dear Spyderlovers Members,

It has come to our attention through Lamont Bryden ('Lamonster') that some of you would like to visit the Can-Am Spyder production line this Summer while in Upstate NY? Well, it would certainly be our pleasure to welcome you to Valcourt, the birthplace of BRP and the Can-Am Spyder.

For those who plan on attending Americade, we are considering offering, exclusive to Spyderlovers fans, a free tour of the J.A. Bombardier Museum and the Can-Am Spyder factory on these specific dates which are just prior and after Americade.

Thursday June 5
Friday June 6
Monday June 9

Questions for you :

1. Should we host only one large gathering on one day or offer the flexibility of a choice of three days?

2. How about a random draw for 6 people for a more in-depth, station to station tour accompanied by an engineer? Would you be interested in this?

Valcourt is located just over 200 miles from Lake George in the beautiful Eastern Townships of Quebec.

We can also negotiate a preferred rate and secure Spyder parking at a local hotel.

Let us know if you would be interested in such a program and give us a sense for the number of participants. We will get back to you based on your feedback.

The BRP CARE Team

I'm going to be at Americade, but I'll be hauling my buddies daughter on the back of my bike, so I'm not sure I could break away then

 

[Bob Denman]

We were just kicking this idea around in here too!
Thank you; BRP!!

EDIT: I'd never forgive myself, If I didn't bring Flounder back out...

 

[Bob Denman]

I kind of like the idea of some choices for the dates:
I know that in my case; I can make a Friday happen! :thumbup:

Tour of the plant would be great.

 

[bruiser]

Don't forget. You'll need a passport.

Oh, man. I wish I could go!:sour:

[SUB]​Trying to talk to the father into flying up to see it. Would be a great Bday gift as mine is on the 6th plus good for Fathers day![/SUB]

I wish there had been more notice . . . I'll be at SpyderQuest, but don't think I can make it to Americade with only a month's notice . . . I might be able to get up there for one of those dates, but if it is tied into being at Americade, there is no way I could do it.

Same here.

 

[Bob Denman]

Can you make it as a Day Trip?

That's what I'll have to do...
It's a bit over a seven hour ride to Valcourt for me...
I'm up for a 3:00 am departure!

Bon Chance, et Bon Temps!! :2thumbs:

It would be nice if this could also happen around September 8 or 9 prior to Spyderquest. Spyderquest is September 11 - 13 at Lake George.

 

[mindman]

Damn! We're in San Diego on those days !!!
:gaah: we'd love to go on the tour. Oh well....maybe some other time.

 

[harrypottar]

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, this is a very generous offer indeed, wonder if they can extend the offers to include Magog in July and SpyderQuest in September.

What a great opportunity !
The response to this is going to be overwhelming !
BRP might need to hold a three day event.

Thanks BRP Care Team !:firstplace::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::thumbup:
