• 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.

Spyder Owners Event was fun

Boy BRP can really put a party on. The food each day was delicious. The $30 gift card a big help with gas. The band this afternoon was really good. New friends was made and hope to see them on this sight soon.
So where will the Spyder Owners event be next year?
 
Thanks

You are correct it was a blast, just getting back.I would like to go on record as saying BRP does do a great event and they do have great folks who work for them.I had a rough start getting to Durango due to my spyder being in limp however we went via car,, when the Marketing Director of Can Am (Louis L'evesque) heard i had to leave my machine in Texas ( thanks to myfellow spyder riders help ):bowdown: he jump into motion by setting me up with a loaner just like my RT @ home:thumbup: so needlless to say the Mrs & I had a great time and look forward to going next year wherever it may be .
 
I had a great time too. It was a fantastic place for riding and the town seemed to enjoy having us there. It would be fine with me if they held it there next year.

And that is great that they fixed SpringCrawler up with a loaner RT. There new motto is customer service and that looks like a good start to me.

It was a great event! Durango was awesome and BRP did a fantastic job. The food was wonderful. I would have liked to have seen more vendors like they had at Spyderfest. I was hoping to get a back rest and arm rests. Oh well. Now I need a new antenna. Mine got broken off in the strong wind in 4 corners area on the way home. Thankfully that was the only problem I had so it was a huge success in my book!

BRP Did It Right

Though we've been a Spyder owner (and forum lurker) for about 14 months, this was our first Spyder event of any kind, other than a few local group rydes. BRP did a very nice job of putting on a great event in a great location. As with any of these type of events, the people make it even more special. Our thanks to all! We can't wait until next year!
 
We had a wonderful time at the Owners' Event...kudos to BRP for putting on a wonderful event. :2thumbs: Thanks to George for coordinating the rides.:thumbup: Here are a few pictures out of the hundreds I took..."friend" me on Facebook if you want to see more. I find it way easier to post pictures there...don't have to scale them or post to photobucket. We're headed to Colorado Springs for a doctor's appointment, then headed west to Spyders in the Redwoods...may be heading northwest earlier than we thought if the wildfires keep it up. Pray for the firefighters...they sure are getting a workout this summer. We thought we would be stranded in Mesa Verde yesterday with the Weber fire. It grew from 2500 acres to over 6000 overnight.

The only thing that disappointed me was no help in getting new antennas for the bike. Both of my broke off coming to the event. Which I understand is coomon on the 2010s. The service test folks sent me to the dealer but then the dealer said that all the one they had was sent to the event
