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.

:agree:The DVD from Spyderfest was a whole lot more fun to watch.IMHO, any major Spyder Owners Event in the last two years was superior compare to Speed Test Ride: spontaneous versus theatrical.opcorn:

How much did BRP pay for that sales pitch?

Not impressed, other than enjoying watching the Spyders. Guess I'm just too old to appreciate the "coolness" of everyone but Fred Rau. My wife pointed out how many times they crossed yellow lines, and the severe hanging out in turns. I lean into turns, but theirs was extreme, seemed to be done to impress.

I agree with you all. :thumbup:
I think the reason for the non-excitement is we all have had the [FONT="]experience of ryding one. They showed us nothing we currently didn't know.
Probably would have reached the younger audience with more burn-outs through the show.
[/FONT]I don't believe the show was to reach out to the current owners but new ones.
JMHO a 1/2 hr commercial with good people.:2thumbs:

The show was not what I expected. I guess it was a let down to me only because I expected much more detail about the Spyder. I think they tried way to hard to make it look like they were having fun by hanging off the side in the turns. If you didn't know better you would think that's how you need to take the turns on a Spyder. I guess any press is good press but this is not something I'm going to bother showing my friends who don't ride a Spyder. If this was suppose to be a promotion they failed in my opinion.

I too was expecting a non-biased show.
There is nothing wrong with any of the perceived Spyder "weaknesses" as they balance out against the Spyder's strengths. BRP should let the Spyder stand on its own. A real program on a real test ride would have been on target. Not sure that can be done in a 1/2 hour program though.

I think if you look at it from the perspective of those that have only seen a 30 second commercial, they would have really enjoyed it and maybe taken more of an interest.
Kind of like a 30 minute infomercial--- no in-depth info, but plenty of product shots.
The one thing I found funny was there were no BRP commercials during the segment.... but there was one for Polaris......:yikes:
It did seem Fred was leaning off the bike far more than needed.. but I've never ridden an RT.
It will help BRP I'm sure... in particular with an audience that has never ridden motorcycles.

I was pretty disappointed in it as well. I agree that it was more like 30 minute commercial than anything really in-depth or interesting. BRP needs to spend more time letting people ride the Spyder and less trying to push it through pretty pictures and too expensive add ons.
I also noticed that there was a Polaris commercial. Wow.

Dan, didn't you buy one for $20 at dinner? It is very nicely done. Contact Vanessa I think she can still get you one.
