• 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.

MY NEW SPYDER TV COMMERCIAL...

first of all - great movie, one of my favorites.

My concern is that the message would be to subtle - most people would lump all bikes together only a current biker would really recognize a specific front end of a bike...so, the Spyder is the killers get away vehilcle or did the guys Harley just spring another oil leak?! :D

I don't want to rain on you idea - I was in marketing and you need to make sure your message is clearly understood - this would fly on a channel or a program thet was dealing specifically with bikes tho!
 
I really thought . . . .

. . . you would have something like a dozen of tough biker types, riding some real flashy choppers pulling up to some roadhouse at night. As they pulled up, the camera would move to each of their faces - they would be looking to the right and saying things like "What the . . ?" The next one; "Huh. . .?" and so on with each looking leery, incredulous, but curious.
As the last one pulls up and gets off his bike, the camera pulls back to show a crowd at the end of the line up - you can't see what they are standing around.
The last guy to pull up stumbles as he gets off his bike and his bike tips over, hitting the one to its right - and the bikes fall like dominos towards the group at the far right.
As the last bike bites the dust, the crowd at the end of the line of fallen motorcycles jump back and disperse and you see the Spyder sitting there, shining, untouched, rock-steady.
The engine starts and the camera follows it as it pulls away and turns onto the road and disappears into the night.

I was sure you would also work some helmets into it too.

I like that, good one Tom...
The end there was Little Miss Muffett sitting on the spyder that sat down beside her. :clap:
 
BRP loved the idea, but said it would be way out of their budget. That would cost them Millions of $$$ for a TV spot like that,,, :chill:

:gaah: :gaah: :gaah:

Time to get rid of those A list actors or celebrities and get some no name folks to be in the commercial. :D
 
I hate to tell you OCC are looked at clowns is the V-twin biker world so if BRP

The OCC boys are looked at as clowns in the V-twin world, and would not aid BRP in marketing for that reason to someone considering getting their old lady off the bagger, and on her own ride. The only motorcycle event I see OCC at is Sturgis, and they get a spot almost out of town in a McDonald's Parking lot on Lazelle Street. There is a reason for that, and it pretty clear. Last year BRP demo rides, and marketing was at the Sturgis expo hall right behind the AMA show, and next to all the Pro bike builders in the mix of the action.

BRP needs to associated themselves with fine engineering, with a like dirt under the finger nails type of person to enter that market.
