When did you order your Spyder?

[Spyderman]

I'm kinda getting bored with mine already, I wonder what they would give me on trade-in for a new Raider? :joke:

I ordered mine June 10 and I was just told yesterday mine is in the next shipment and I should receive it 1st or 2nd week of December. Just in time for my B-day.

 

[rwilliams]

I ordered in April, got it Nov.17, #528. Rode it 50 miles, got recalled. Oh, well time to snowmobile anyway.

Spyderman, where did you get the handlebar riser? I have used Speigler and the one out of New Mexico [GEN something]. But it seems to me the Spyder needs about 24 to 36 inches more wind screen! Back roads are not too bad but the super slab is a pain.

I ordered my Spyder today, 11/25/07, at Bert's after a test ride. Very enjoyable. Does not compare to either a motorcycle or a sidecar, but is in a league of its own. Ordered the yellow color because of the heightened visibility. Now, my only decisions are which current bikes will I need to sell before taking delivery on the Spyder.

If anyone wants to consider a trade of sorts for a new 2008 Raider S (candy red) with 2 miles on it, extra chrome and engine guards let me know.

I ordered mine on Sept 22,07 and it is suppose to in May 08". Hope to ride it at Lacona and Sturgius.

I ordered mine in April and Im still waiting.. I was # 7 at the dealer in Bradenton Fla. They say it will be here tomorrow.. I am skeptical. Seems like its been an eternity!

They seem to be arriving in Florida. Dealers are getting more than expected. 17 were just delivered to a dealer in south FL. My dealer received 5 last week when he only expected 4. BRP was only supposed to produce 600 before shutting down until after the 1st of January. I was told by a BRP official that some 2500 were actually produced. The market appears about to be flooded with Spyders. In plenty of time for Christmas !!

I ordered the riser from West Coast Motorcycles here in Ft Myers. It took about a month to get but most dealers should have them in stock or get them in a couple of days.

Ordered my black and silver spyder in August, and was told (not holding my breath) it should be here in the next 4 weeks. That should put delivery right around Chanakwanzimas, which would be great. Since it seems like we've only had about one inch of rain in the last five years in So. Cal and it rarely gets cold out here, I should be able to do lots of riding in January. So, I'm starting to get stoked! (yup, that's a So Cal word). I just picked up my special edition jacket from the shop, bought a new silver helmet, put my Harley up for sale, and now just need to stay patient a little bit longer . . .

Can you explain more about the 17 being delivered to a dealer in South Fl? Was it a single dealer? Which dealer?

There is a photo of the truck loaded with Spyders on the "other" website. The dealers name starts with a "B"...might have been Broward, ....but I'm not certain. Memory isn't what it used to be !!

Ordered my Spyder in March, 2007. Dealer called two days ago and said it was in and ready for delivery. Went to the shop at once, paid the balance due, and proceded to the showroom to ride it home. GLITCH!!! Between the shop and showroom the keys had been misplaced. After an hour of searching, no keys and I had to go home without my bike.

They are talking about ordering a new ignition module from the factory. Why can't a new set of keys be made using the VIN number as a reference point? What are the chances that a new module is available? Unhappy camper does not even come close.

Unfortunately, they keys have a smart chip in them coded to the ignition module. If there is no key available, even the dealer cant get you a spare from what ive heard.

order on 7-2 07 in hayward ca. picked up # 53 on 11-27 in dealers second dealivery of 6 more..$17.410 OTD

 

[barb36jack31]

Dealer called BRP and they are sending two new keys. The dealer can then program them on their in-house computer and I will be on my way. (This is the theory anyway.) We'll see.
