• 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.

Doesn't Jay Leno have the oldest (chronologically speaking)? Wasn't his serial # 001?

As I recall,
Jay Leno got #001.
BRP Museum in Valcourt got #002.
Jose Boisjoli (president and CEO of BRP) got #003.
The two BRP engineers with their names (Bruno Bedard & Dany Duvall) on the Spyder patent got #004 & #005.
I have #006 - was the first one to offer down payment at product intro in January 2007.


Also had #659. Put 33,000 miles on #659, have almost 34,000 miles on #006. Both were/are exceptional except for DPS recall. No problems really, had squeaky brakes way back, right now works very well. :yes:

34K

34K miles on 2011 RTS SM5. Loads of fun, been from Maine to Alaska and down to MS, around all the Great Lakes, and more. Problems galore -- four water pump shaft seals (last replacement BRP said do the entire -- entire -- cooling system and clutch cover housing (clutch cover housing was actually replaced twice)), two turn signal switches (still doesn't work correctly), one windshield strut failure (600 mi from home), one failed clutch slave cylinder, two O2 sensors, dried out and leaking MAP sensor tubing, radio replaced for water intrusion, oil pressure sensor replaced, probably something else I forgot. Still riding -- just came back from Maine, shortly heading that way again for Nova Scotia, PEI and over to the Magdelan Islands.
