In addition to the new Spyder I have a Victory motorcycle. There is a particular website that I hang out on and occasionally it gets a little PMS. One post leads to alot of name calling and gets off topic very quickly. As Spyder owners we need to remember that others will have alot of questions and RCB is no different. If you have been around off road machines a while (sleds, ATV's, watercraft) you know that while BRP has a great reputatipon for building fun and cutting edge machines, product reliability and customer service has not been a strength. In my note to them regarding my post download issues I suggested that this is a critical time for them to step to the plate and reward those of us who took a gamble $$$ on a new machine, with exceptional customer service. I think his concerns are valid and I also considered waiting until the bugs were worked out. Then I took a five hour test ride and couldn't get the smile off my face. The risk is definately worth the reward!

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.

Potential Buyer - Time to Stay Clear of a Spyder
The title is what raised the hair on my neck! Here is a person who has no ownership experience on a Spyder, yet is telling any potential buyer to stay away from buying a Spyder because of what was heard, read, etc. It's like me telling someone what to take for a sickness, from what I have read or heard. Had he come on and asked for information to better aide him in his decision about a Spyder, I would have understood. But to bluntly state "Potential Buyer - Time to Stay Clear of a Spyder"...no. And then to admit that his posting was intentionally controversial...I am done.

me too . . . .
. . . I am from Grand Rapids. But that criteria covers most of the United States and parts of Canada.
Poor treatment?
I re-read the member's posts and don't think they were out of line or rude or angry, but, we all have our own sensitivities and in-sensitivities.
I enjoy this forum - it has a great tone and a wide variety of people and experiences. I have learned a lot, laughed a lot, and considered lots of perspectives that are quite different than mine.
Over all, there are two great attitudes that members of this forum show; an attitude of making things better and collaboration - working together and sharing ideas and experiences to improve everyones Spyder riding.
As far as RCB, like FireFly said, "Time will tell." In the meantime, I have my opinion, but I won't mistake it for The Truth.
Smylinacha, not smoking is good. Hang in there. Oh, and I will pass on the Naughty Chair. When I was a little kid, my parents used to tie me to a tree in our backyard, for which I am eternally thankful. It instilled in me a real need and appreciation for FREEDOM that has been satisfied by my Spyder.

me, firefly, Scotty, BRPJunkie, Someguy, Rando and many others are trolls according to U.P. folks. We all live under the bridge.

I agree 100%; but, you are :bdh:. You'll never convince those who think you piled on the poor boy/girl.

Piled on the poor boy? :dontknow:
Where is it written that I have to "as a free American" be this all loving, all forgiving and all accepting person? :gaah:
I have had too much of this "you must be PC or somehow you're wrong" attitude that is sweeping this country.
I'm sorry, but if you come on here and "kick my dog" I'm gonna say something about it.
If "I have to respect your right to voice your view" even if I don't like it, than you have to respect mine to do the same! Which does not make me bad or wrong in doing so ether. Just because I won't lie down and let a stranger rip into my passion does not make me wrong or out of line.
Same quarter asked for, same quarter given.
