I agree with Lamont

[fastfraser]

As much as I LOVE this site its become nothing but a headache to come to. SHUT IT DOWN until the spyderworld is happy again. Granted there are issues, but all this negativity SUCKS. Theres allot of nice people here and I am glad for the conversations and learning experiences but..........................I am out

thanks to all that helped me in the past and thanks to Lamont most of all for all his hard work.

maybe I will "stop by" in the spring

peace out............

:2thumbs: Say Goodbye !!!

Guess you missed my post where I said I won't be shutting it down. :doorag:

No I didnt, I just shared the some same feellings you did at one point

qoute............"Part of me wants to just shut down this site and turn it back on when everything is fixed because I don't know if we are helping or hurting the situation here. BRP is well aware of the problem and nobody wants to see a resolve to this more than they do. Problem is will the love for the Spyder be crushed because of this board before they have a chance to really fix the problem?"

I understand you said in the same post that you wernt shutting down but you still had some urge to.

Its real funny how the reaction of you saying the above differs from someone else saying it (not referring to your response). But you know........you are the idol here (and well deserved)

Im not leavin.......like I said in the first place I love the site

I will just take the advice that some said and ignore the posts I dont like

good advice I spose

Well said, Lamont. Yes, there is always going to be bitchin' as they say. You can't please everyone. Some people would bitch if you hung them with a brand new rope. So, we have to lighten up a tad. I think the site is well managed. Don't give up the ship. These sites have helped a lot of people with their problems and information. We don't always agree on things but it's the best we can do. Hang in there guys. Nice job Lamont.

If we had Auto forums like this back in the 70's, Maybe the American auto co's would have heard the the negativty and fixed the junk they were making . And then the Japanese would not have gotten such a foot hold in the American market.hyea:

Back in the early 70's, Japan was sending us junkier cars than we were building here. I'm thinking it was the late 70's / early 80's when they started making better vehicles.

:agree: I am a Detroit Lions fan. Trust me I can put up with a lot of bad :gaah: & ugly :yikes:

I'm in the same boat you are. Been a hopeful Lions fan for years now. The last few years, the best time to be a Lions fan was about a month before the draft up until the last preseason game.

An Appropriate Name!

I think because I played a part in the negativity maybe my name shouldn't be Smylinacha anymore. Maybe Yellinacha cuz I did alot of it. I do feel more confident that BRP is looking into this though and I think if it weren't for some of us getting squirrly over things, nothing would have happened to get BRP to notice there is something wrong. But I do apologize if I offended anyone personally.

Kim, having met you at Lamont's barbeque, I have to say "Smylinacha" is a very appropriate name! You have a smile that could power up Albuquerque, so keep on keepin' on! :2thumbs:

Phyllis Diller? Now there's a blast from the past! I'll bet half the people on this forum have no idea who she was!

Not was....She's still around!:thumbup:

Not was....She's still around!:thumbup:

Holy Moly! She's gotta be around 120 years old by now!:yikes:

Edited: Just checked the "Dead or Alive" website. I wasn't too far off. She is 92 years old, and still kicking!

 

[gazey]

Seems to me that 90% of the complaints are comming from 10% of the people.
Still good odds to be keeping my Spyder opcorn:

This is my first participating forum. I made mistakes at first, but as I became more accustomed to others' postings, I learned. I have been trashed a few times when pointing out obvious safety issues that could result from mods being done or done on the Spyder. But I firmly believe that I have the responsibility to point to someone, or anyone, what I see as a safety issue. Not doing so is failing my responsibility as a fellow Spyder rider. If just one rider benefits, then I have done the right thing. If someone's feelings are hurt when I do this, then I would rather hurt their feelings and point something out than tell them it looks great and lie. If anyone wants to call that being negative, so be it. If you ask for, you shall receive. I, like many others who are now riding Spyders, have been riding very many years (without any accident or moving violations). Am I good? No, I am just lucky and was able to learn from the many mistakes I have made without an accident. This forum has been a goldmine of information that has helped me to learn and understand my Spyder. I feel like I am not in the dark, as I have been with all the other bikes I have owned. The modern technology of the internet has opened doors to vast treasures of knowledge we had never before been able to acquire. Do I have something I don't like on this forum? Yes I do. I detest anyone coming on here and trashing the Spyder and BRP, etc., without owning a Spyder, and I will respond. If you haven't walked in our footsteps, get off our path! Happy Trails, Everyone!

The saying go's = A wise man learns from his mistakes.'' WRONG''
''A wise man learns from other's mistakes'' ':thumbup: All knowledge is helpfull.
When you point out a safety mistake you made, you'll help somebody so
They don't repeat it.

Guess you missed my post where I said I won't be shutting it down. This too shall pass as they say and I think there have been some merited reaction to the Spyder issues and some over reactions to the Spyder issues.

Every board I've ever ran has had the same thing happen to it and in time it will be a forgotten memory. I'm going to focus of solutions to the problems rather than bashing the one toy that has held my attention for the last two years.

If you need to move on I understand but be sure to check back in a month or two. :doorag:

GREAT!!!!! God bless Lamonster.
I ain't going anywhere, I'll be right here.:2thumbs:

Thanks Bruce! And it's a good thing you didn't see my dark side - Yellinacha fits that bill perfectly when I'm mad
