• 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.

Guided tours by BRP

Looks like a nice idea. I wonder if there is a discount if you bring your own Spyder? I like the Las Vegas/Grand Canyon trip.
 
Worth watching to see what it is all about. I probably would not pay to take my Spyder someplace that I can drive to myself. :popcorn:

This may be a good thing for those interested in a very special test drive. They will quickly find out if the Spyder is for them.

Wonder what mileage they will cut the bike off at & sell at what discounted :dontknow:price?:dontknow: would be considered used if titled never transferred?!
 
Has anyone experienced any of these tours? Am thinking about Grand Canyon next Aug or Sept

I have toured every place mentioned except the Quebec tour. Been on most of these tours more than once. The trips look pretty good. But, we have done all without going on any organized tour. Wife and I like setting our own pace and we always enjoy who we are traveling with. We go slow, usually traveling 200-300 miles per day. These organized tours could be a good experience for new-Bs who want a one time experience without committing to the ownership or touring lifestyle. As for me, I'm committed. (And according to those who know me, I probably should be.)........ Jim

If my wife and I did that tour, it would cost about the same as buying a new Ryker. Think I’d rather have a Ryker and tour myself. But I think it’s cool that you get to ride different BRP/Can Am vehicles in different terrain. Curious to hear peoples reviews after they do it. Till then...I’m happy w my RTL.
 
Why would you need a guided tour on a rental bike? Just go yourself on the same route, at your own pace, and save yourself $5000.

Pete, I'm with you and Jim on this one. I was once told that anything, and I mean anything, could be sold at almost any price if it were packaged and promoted properly. I know, because I've been a victim myself once or twice.
 
I think that for a newbie, it might seem like a low-threat, low-challenge approach to seeing if Spyder touring is for them. Personally, I wouldn't care to take that kind of tour with a group of folks who might never have ridden either a motorcycle or a Spyder. My preference goes to programming a route into my GPS, making my own reservations and changing plans if that's what we want to do.

Excellent point about riding with a bunch of novices. That could make for some potential dangers. :popcorn:
 
Absolutely!!!

:agree: wholeheartedly. I try to avoid groups whenever possible, however, when flying, diving, riding or whatever, I take the point man or the tail gunner position when traveling in a group is unavoidable. In those two positions you have options to avoid trouble. In the middle you have almost no options.:pray:
 
I didn’t realize we had so many travel critics with opinions about something they never did. Oh well I should have known better!
