4/20/11*Teddys 3rd Birthday*56F*Dry now, Partly Cloudy
:lecturef_smilie:
I Find myself in a position Ive never experienced before :lecturef_smilie:
The sun peeks out & its almost 60 & I find myself (Teddy as well) ansy to get our daily :spyder2: fix :thumbup:
But then, I experience what I can only call "Hesitation/Fear even".
With Teddy's 2010 RTS I never once felt fear when thinking of going for a ryde. There were times it didn't work, but I understood going in, all of us doing so in 2010 are early adopters, and this pretty complex machine is bound to have some issues, its a given with any New to Market Product. But I never feared going for a ride in almost any climactic conditions. 2 trips to Indianapolis in 12F & 24F degree temps, no worries, no fear, be prepaired and enjoy the ryde. Thats what Teddy & I did, for almost 14000 WonderFul miles in about 11 months. I rec'on Teddy has logged close to 6000 miles himself:thumbup:
But now, with Teddy's new 2011 :spyder2:, that feeling is still alive & well, no doubt! But the difference is, I think I knew all along that the :ani29: wasn't mine. I had settled on something that wasn't what was agreed upon, but I couldn't stand to waste my friends time off work, nor mine, nor the 300 mile trip to get there, just to be told, "Sorry, I know I should'a called you last night, but I figured we'd surely have the "Error Code" corrected by the time you got here." 5 hours waiting later, "Sorry Dave, this unit (PE#0468) (or something like that) is't leaving here tonight. My options: Take a still in the box unit thats not a PE or go home wasting time & money not to mention "Personal Heartache" (I was bitten then too) & disapointment.
So yeah, give me the box. They rushed put'n it together, since they closed at 6 & it was now 9pm. I have to give him credit for try'n, just not the experience I thought I was in for, lets just say that. I had the SE5 Recall problem on my intial test ride. When we stopped to fill up :ani29: gas tank, I asked my sales person why it didn't work right the 5th time I used the "Thumb Shifter" & he told me, "You musta just not hit it right. It'll take you a little time, but you'll learn. Hmmmmm Mmmmmm, I learned all right. Got it home, enjoyed Teddy's :ani29: for 9 whole days. I swear, my face hurt
SO BAD from the permanant grin on my mug :2thumbs:
Then, into the shop for 49days waiting on the recall parts. I missed everything last year, Lamonts BBQ, The BRP Owners Event in Chicago (Tho it sounds like We won on that one) & all the other stuff last year.
We got in one group ryde up to Hocking Hills & met up with the Newly Formed Ohio Spyder Ryders Club, I think we had 13-15 total. Teddy & I loved it.
WE were upset at BRPs handling of our experience at first. Many have said it on here "Carlo to the Rescue":bowdown:
Long story short, Len & Cowtown have Redefined for me what Awesome Customer Service truly is. Teddy & I experienced it first hand/paw :firstplace: I have FAITH AGAIN :yes:
I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I honestly thought for a few minutes if I could manage to move to Cuba MO :roflblack: But it did run thru my mind:dontknow: Its a Great Ryde'n Area with Route 66 right there thru the middle of town:doorag:
Anyways, this is Teddy's :spyder2:, this is what he was suppose to get the first time out. Everything he wanted & everything he was promised, and more even.
So I guess, now I'm scared to hurt it. The
Bright Red Color is SO FAST & Mesmerizing, at least for me, its
SO BEAUTIFUL!!! We were going thru the twisties up to Devou Park last night, about midnight. Temp. right b4 the tornado warnings got up to almost 80 with a full moon before the storm, we had to ride:clap: On the way up the hill,
POP...... POP.. POP POP WTF !!! I immediately pulled over to check out what the sounds were. I ran over some gravel that washed across the road with all the rain earlier, & it was bouncing off the new tires of Teds Red Sled (lol) & hitting the underside of the fenders
(which is what they were designed for) but it still upset me :gaah: It almost made me slow down :roflblack: going up the hill :roflblack:
So yeah, I knew the 2010 was going to be my daily driver & I had the same plans for Teddys new :spyder2: Im not rich enough to own a trailer queen, plus I need at least a Daily :spyder2: fix, or I'm not all that happy
But I also..... D:cus:mn it, sorry......................... We gotta go ryde :yes:
ray: weather is done for the year. Time for riding. :thumbup: to Teddy.
on't be blaming me :shemademe_smilie:
