• 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.

Some welcome

I don't think I got diddly when I got my :spyder2: in 09. Patches?????? when did those come withthe welcome kit. For that matter how's come I didn't get one!?? My feelings is hurt!! gona go in a corner and cry!!!:joke:
 
Of all the vehicles, tractors, toys, tools and other major purchases I've made over the decades only once did I receive anything. It was a tin of chocolate chip cookies ... And it came from the dealer.

:agree: Same experence here. I did receive a key chain with my Mercedes purchase. I think the welcome kit such as it is, a nice gesture on BRP's part. I can always use patches or pins. Frame the picture and hang it in the garage.
 
Get the package on used

I am a new spyder owner, however, I am a pre-owned Spyder purchaser, therefore, I didnt get a patch, or a poster, or anything else. I would love to know if there is a way I can either post purchase these items, or get linked up with BRP to be the "official current" owner of my spyder.

Just trying to learn more about what is offered to the people in the community! I love my new ryde and the thrill of the open road again.

I regestered my preowned 09 GS online with BRP and they sent me the welcome package. Free of charge!
 
I don't remember what i received from BRP ,that was over 3 years ago, But 8 days after i bought a Tri Glide, I received a package with pins patches a card with #'s for free towing, free subscription to their monthly magazine, And a road atlas with state maps, and the phone # hours and location of all Harley dealers.
If BRP wants to send something useful, It should be a Atlas with all their dealers locations and phone#'s :dontknow:
 
man, people get all up in your grill if you voice an opinion here....sounds like the goldwing board

That's simply not true. Many types of opinions pro and con are on these boards.
But when something that is perceived as extremely petty pops up you can certainly expect opinions coming back that might be a tad bit defensive.
I think the type of answers that were given back in this case were well deserved.
 
Maybe it's just me; but when I got my packet I was tickled pink! :thumbup: The brochures were quickly handed out to anybody who seemed just a wee bit more than politely interested, the picture went up on the wall of my office, the patches got sew on and I was in the mood to turn some wheels! :2thumbs:
But if you want to whine; that's cool too! Just send me the brochures so that I can pass them out! :thumbup:

Apparently they have already been thrown away. I too would have loved to have them, would even have paid for the postage to send them to me.nojoke
 
Wow. Can't believe someone would complain about getting something for free. I actually enjoyed getting my package. I have the my Spyder RT Limited personalized picture hanging where I can see it when I'm not riding. I haven't used the patch yet but the pin is on my riding jacket. I keep several of the foldup flyers on the bike. It makes fuel stops go quicker when I run into a very interested person with lots of questions. :thumbup:
 
I guess it's just the way that some folks are: You give them something and they also want the car you drove up in! :roflblack:
Everbody is entitled to their own opinion and an opinion about other folks' opinions too!

They should have sent you coupons for free oil Bob. Your going to need it !!! :roflblack::joke::roflblack:
 
What did they send you with the welcome kit for your Chevrolet?...

Well, Scotty, didn't buy a Chevrolet. But I did buy a Ford Explorer once. They sent me two very nice folding chairs. I was impressed. Until I realized how dangerous the Firestone tires were that came on the car. Obviously, the chairs were for sitting in while Ford tried to figure out what to do, and what kind of very low priority they could give to current owners needing replacement tires! :D It took about a full year for Ford to get that mess straightened out. :lecturef_smilie: Some of us consumers have loooooooong memories about such things.

Sorry for the hijack!
 
Well today we received our welcome package from BRP. What a major disappointment. A box full of advertisements to hand out for the manufacturer. Not one single useful piece of anything for the owner. What were they thinking? Guess what I am thinking?

Just for the record, I agree.
 
I got my "08 used. I did register online as an owner. But, as far as I can recall I didn't get anything. WHICH IS OK!!!!!

Because I have my Spyder!!!! What more could anyone want???



































OK, maybe the RT. Even though it feels big to me, it's perfect for 2 up. And that's what we mostly do. I've been eyeing the RT lately with envy. But, not going to happen. I'll have the RS probably until I can't ryde at all.
