• 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.

The RT will be at the Lamonster BBQ..

....and the Spyders in the Smokies. I just got permission to let the Spyder out of the bag. :2thumbs:

When I was in Hollywood I was approached by BRP and asked if I wanted to take part in reviewing the Spyder RT. I had to think about it for about 1/2 a second but gladly accepted their offer. It's a tough job but someone has to do it. :D There will be 5 of us that have been given this privilege and I'm sure some of the other guys will chime in here now that we can.

As I understand it we will have the Spyder on loan for enough time to really put it through it's paces. BRP knows how I like to ride and they still asked me to take it out and ride the wheels off of it. I plan on testing every aspect of the RT and reporting back to BRP and SpyderLovers. I'll be glad to answer any of your questions about the RT and I have been known to take things apart from time to time to see how they work. :D

I fly out in the morning to DC and will go through some training on the RT. Friday we have a 5 hour ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway planned with BRP. Saturday I will head toward home (maybe) :D

My plans after that are to head back up to the New England states and visit some SpyderLovers. I may do this after the BBQ, I'm not sure yet. I talked to Tatt2r about maybe having a SpyderLovers meet at his place one Sunday. In any event I do plan to visit some of you guys on the new RT so you can take a first hand look at it.

As you might be able to tell I'm very excited about this product and can't wait to put it through it's paces. I feel honored that BRP would value my opinion and trust me with such a valuable piece of equipment. This is a highlight in this chapter of my life and I'm looking forward to sharing it with you all.
 
That is fantastic Lamont. I think they picked the perfect guy for this. If you get up this way, we would be glad to host a MI gathering of SpyderLovers as well. You know you are always welcome here. We can't wait to see that new RT up close and it looks like we are going to be able to be there early on Thursday or even Wed. night now for the BBQ. See you soon and looking forward to see both you and the Mrs. again.
 
Oh geez. Now I gotta try to find a way to get myself to Lamonster's BBQ. Congrats my friend, quite a little honor if you ask me. I would love the opportunity take one of these things for a month or two. My wife kinda likes it too. It is really growing on me but I can't see giving up my 2008 SE5. Not yet anyway. I wonder if the hitch and trailer can be added to the current models?

Again, :congrats: Lamont.
 
Glad you finally got Permission to let it out of the bag. Marc over at Spydertalk let it out Last night. The other Guy I know of will let the Cat out Sometime today.

But Congrats on geting to do a solid test ride and Eval of the RT. I hope you get a fully loaded one with a trailer.

Enjoy, See you in a couple weeks.
 
You are a lucky guy!!! But well deserving of the honor of testing out the RT for BRP!!!

I bet you can't wait to twist the throttle!!!!!:congrats:
 
It's an honor...enjoy it! No better person I can think of for the tough work that's been assigned to you by BRP! :D

If you time it right, it be a really nice foliage trip for you. We got plenty of water this year and the fall foliage should be nice and bright.
 
Cat is finally out of the Bag. That was a hard secret to keep :roflblack:

:congrats:, That is a big Honor to let you test their new product. I am so excited for you. Have a safe and fun trip home.


That was an excellent idea of BRP, what a better way to expose the RT, at your BBQ!!!
Wish I could of made it to your BBQ :mad:

Wish I was coming to your BBQ. Wait a minute, if I only had an RT, I could make such a long trek.....
