• 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 Scorecard ?????

It'll be impossible to maintain...

...Been a developer for 30 years. With variables that change all the time (mechanics) and businesses that can change their level of service at any time depending on a whim of business, I think this good idea will be impossible to maintain and will lose value in about six months. Sorry.

I agree with another user here when he/she suggested Yelp. One of the stickies ought to be how to create and manage Yelp reviews, which, BTW, also grow stale quickly.
 
R FUN , Where did you get the body parts for your bike . I tried to look up "Vertica" but had no luck . Thanks Meerkat .:ohyea:

Try "Vertika" :thumbup:


I think that you're putting dealerships in a difficult position.
1. They're not in here to defend themselves
2. Sometimes folks get frustrated over what is actually a pretty fair deal for them.... and they yell about it.
3. There's no ability to fact-check anything.


There's a saying that I firmly believe in:
"If you listen to fools: the mob rules." :dontknow:

Not to belabor the previous explanation, but:

my proposal is really nothing more than to publish a simple 'poll', in bulk format, not individualized.
It would not require dealers to defend themselves, as there are no allegations made.
It would not give any details as to 'why' people feel as they do.
No fact checking would be involved as it would not be a fact-based, 'review-type' rating.

The original idea was simply to ask folks to rate dealerships, on a 1 to 5 scale, as to their perceived performance in the area of (a)-sales, (b)-service. Individual responses would be tallied and reported only in bulk format, after averaging out. Whatever star rating a dealer received, it would be explained that this was based on 'x' number of responses. You would soon know whether the 'poll' results were broadly and soundly based, or perhaps more weakly based.

i.e., just a 'poll type' report (as originally proposed); not an issues-based 'review' (as later mentioned), which may already be available through other means (Yelp).

A poll could also serve as a benefit to dealers - at least to any who might care enough to know 'how well' (or poorly) they are regarded by the public. And while it wouldn't go into details as to 'why', it could lend itself to possibly encouraging those with a 1 or 2-star rating to perhaps do some self-examination.

There's another saying: "if you don't listen to your public, you will soon find you have none."

I'm just floating a balloon.... all punctures accepted with equanimity.
 
I like your motive for this... :thumbup:

But with the way that conversations tend to "evolve" in here: it'll most likely turn into a "Dealership Gripe-fest"... :shocked:

Thanks Bob, I wish BRP had a version of those floor boards as they are GREAT for comfort and protection besides dress up the bike. I wouldnt have a bike without them. I installed a set on my buddys RTL also, he has had both knees replaced and has problems moving and without those floor boards would not be riding today.
