• 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.

Owners Event Info you've been waiting for

Owners events

Big problem here is most Spyder events are on the east side of the country,and this leaves the rest of us left out. SITR is 1300 miles from here and only 100 people attended last year.

There appearance at seven functions will be a very milked down version of what they had in Durango. It simply was the best you will ever see not to mention the wonderfull riding we had. Beats the hell out of any flatlander spot in the East!

If this doesn't work out, a single owners event in Durango the following year would be good if it was known early enough for people to make arrangements, I would probably go, last year I didn't see the info soon enough, my bad sounds like I missed a good one.
 
If they sponsor/participate in 7 events like they did at Spyderfest, I'm thinking it is probably a really good thing. Now will they send a semi truck load of clothing and accessories and their top mechanics to Spyders in the Redwoods, or to Spyder Rendeveous or Palooza like they did to Spyderfest? Probably not, but if they help out in some way those smaller events could become something big.

While I am disappointed that there will not be an Owner's Event this year I am hopeful that this new format will make more of the events worth attending. Everyone is on notice that you have 2 years to get your passport ready and learn a few French phrases.
 
I don't have a problem with any of this except for the fact that if I want to join the fun at Daytona i have to register on FaceBook .................:mad:............... HELLO .......:mad:.......... I Don't do FaceBook. (Several others on here don't do FaceBook either).

There need to be an alternative to registering for the Daytona event.

thanks for the heads up lamont. spyderquest application is going in today. (ron is filling it out now) I see this as a very big deal. after having two spyderquest events "under the belt"and growing as fast as we have, it becomes difficult to keep growing without help, both in numbers of bodies, and secondly financially. what could be better than having brp behind us with a little financial assist and a little publicity coming out of brp direct! I love it, and I challenge those that question it, to call an event of choice and volunteer to help out on that event. when you see what it takes, you might change your mind!! (i'm not trying to start anything, i'm just trying to say thank you brp for the chance to become a sponsor aided event) :2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs:

They used google last year, Facebook only had the link to the google form.
 
Oh My!!!

Oh My!! Is this going to be a good thing? A bad thing? Oh My!! I guess since I don't know I'll just have to take a 'Mental Health' ride on my Spyder and hopefully figure it out. I'll be back when I know for sure!!!! :roflblack: Please folks, don't be so serious! Life is too short, and Spyder riding is just too good to worry about these things.
 
Oh No....does this mean I won't win the European trip for 2016...I was already making plans....what do I do now........my heart was set to win.......

​I am a definite if that ever happens. Too bad the Spyder dealer in Durango does not pick up on this and start a Rally. Great dealership.

Thanks for bringing me back to earth!

One of the largest motorcycle events in the USA, and BRP spyder can only do A DAY at Daytona...
As a relatively new owner of a 2013 RT Limited I was expecting to see a week long promotion etc...

I still own my BMW, and BMW has a week long event (Daytona) ---- not so much for only owners but the Company is there doing their sales pitch...

so i guess we'll cruise around and maybe bump into other spyder owners.

ride safe
 
Thanks Lamont

My question is regarding FB and the Daytona Owners Event. I do not have access to FB during the day and there are a few people going that are not on FB at all. Is there another way to register for the owners event? :opps:
 
The dark side??

Hey BRP, Come to SpyderQuest III...................we have cookies. :2thumbs:

Just Sayin'............
 
I made one one post with some thought. I will add some more for what they are worth to anybody.it takes a whole lot of people a whole lot of time and a lot of money to put a event on. Legal issues, permits, local oppsition or support (whjich changes with different officals at one event) , timing of event all play a part. This is not a opinion, but fact. I having helped put event for several organizations over the years. Many people appreciate the results, but some want more door prized, better weather and so. Thank you very much for all the work people have put in on Events such as Spyderfeast and many more.

Two groups that have many supported events over a year. H.O.G. Harley Owners Group has State rallys and a National one that I know of, May have district rallys.
GoldWing Road Riders of America have state, regional and a National rally every year.
I feel the advantage is more people will be able to Attend with this set up. Not every is able/willing/affird to travel 2 or 3 days to attend a event. Ride safe and have fun
