Well in my case, I had my wife on the back when the steering was acting up, and the only thing I could think of was; Let us get home to our two kids safely. I just could not get it out of my mind that our two kids who are 2&5 are counting on us. So glad you can afford the devil may care attitude, others my have different circumstances.

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.
Steering almost got me killed!

To be honest --- I'm single and don't have any kids--- If I had young kids- I wouldn't ride any MC ---- including the Spyder. I'm fortunate that my priories only involve me at this time.
If your steering is acting up--- get it checked out ASAP.
Maybe people should be "scared away" from buying a spyder right now...
Firefly, your posts just grate me sometimes.
You have some good posts, but you need to stop riding BRP's jock so much. These are real people, with real issues, and real families that will miss them when they meet the front grill of the Kenworth.
I see you in here with your comments. "Stop bashing BRP" Dude they need to be bashed!! You think these corporate types just recall something of their own good-will out of concern for the customer? Of course not, that hurts the bottom line and no one likes that.
You seem to demonstrate more empathy for BRP the corporation and their brand name sometimes than you do for the people here whom have almost lost their lives due to these failings, me being one of them.
Even after my issue is fixed I will remain outraged until every single one of these issues for ALL SPYDER OWNERS. I wish this on no one.
When these bikes run well, they are the most fun. No denying it.

You are posting a month after the fact and thats fine . But to personally slam a member weather he is right or wrong is so wrong in so many ways !! State your opinion, thats your right but leave personalities out of it thank you very much !!!

Point taken. I toned it down a bit. Feeling to much for all those that have had these near death experiences and having had it myself, admittedly may have had me a bit emotional on the subject. :dontknow:
I care nothing for the the reputation of BRP as compared to the lives of fellow ryders.

Who really gives a flying F--K about who gets offended here. For anyone to stop posting or to tone down their valid complaints because someone might be "offended" is doing a disservice to those who are unaware of a potentially deadly problem with Spyder vehicles. If the rose smellers don't want to hear about any valid complaints pertaining to their Spyder love, just avoid reading the posts. Just because it appears that BRP "fixed" a few of the vehicles that exhibited steering problems doesn't mean that all is well. How many other owners will loose control of their rides and not be as fortunate as those who avoided injury and were able to post here. Until BRP does a recall on ALL vehicles with a possibly defective DPS, the topic should remain open.

Amends being kept. But I am learning to pick and choose my battles and friends in here.

No lecture here. If you can't do tripple digiits you can't ride with Lamont. So I twist the throttle and figure we'll drop below 100 when we get low on fuel! :roflblack:
