• 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.

Checked with the pt ferry Fri am.
Still room on the 630 and 8am for sun.
Weather cancellation for sun pm are a real possibility looking at the marine forecasts. There are no set limits. It's up to the captain. Wind direction and sea state big factor.
For me it requires a rode down to Edmonds and the Kingston ferry if that happens a long RIDE.
Plus the Mukilteo ferry RIDE.
Hopefully the weather will improve.
The second boat starts at 10.
 
Which Starbucks ? Time? Washed and waxed my spyder today making sure it will be nasty weather tomorrow :)
Wukkas 1st post has the schedule.
Depart from Starbucks, 13038 Interurban Avenue, Tukwila, WA

Spyder still in the shop

Well to answer the question of when I don't know, I talked to the service department on Thursday and was told all parts are in and only 4 hours of work left and should be done on Saturday. So had my son take me and what a surprise they haven't even touched it. So I ask a question of what happened on Thursday when you said that it will be done on Saturday. To my surprise again they said "I didn't say it was going to be ready Saturday", so I am very disappointed with Lynnwood Motoplex right now and if any one asked about this dealership I would tell them to some where else right now. :mad: :mad: This to bad that I have this feeling for a dealership that has treated me very well in the past but I guess they are more concerned with promoting their Indian Motorcycle line than their Can-Am loyal customers. Ok I have vented enough on this subject and I am hopeful they will be done this week. The service guy Kevin said "will have the mechanic work on it Tuesday and should be done by Thursday". :banghead:
 
Yeah, I had a similar experience with Motoplex, recently, though with a happier ending than yours. I had an appointment to bring my bike in to have the shifting checked, as I'd started out for work one morning and found myself completely unable to shift. The problem seemed to have corrected itself, but I still wanted it checked out, and it was also time for an oil change (I have a service contract, so I don't do my own oil changes . . . yet).

So, I drop the bike off the evening before, and my wife calls the shop around 2 or 3 the day of my appointment, and gets told, "Oh, I don't think we've even gotten started yet." She tells me this, and I call the shop and go ballistic. The person on the phone says he'll go ask the tech, and from that I get the info that it "ought" to be ready by end of day. Fortunately for my temper, it was.

Lesson learned, never take the word of the person who answers the phone at Motoplex. Always make sure they go talk to the tech who's working on your bike.

I've usually had good service at Lynnwood Motoplex (it's where I got my Spyder), but I admit they seem to give the Spyders hind teat in favor of the Indians and the like of late. (some of the 2012 models I looked at when I got my RT-S are still there.)

And I really can't see why it's taken a week to order a pair of riding pants so far.
