• 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.

I guess there has been 700 shipped so far. I was wondering who on this board has theirs and who's still waiting. :dontknow:
 
Technically, I could have had one of the first 3 of 4 that showed up. However I, like the rest of us here in the north can't ride them very easily in the snow. So I chose to wait until March to pick mine.

So I am waiting for the next batch to show up.

If you can't ride you might as well wait. ::)
 
Still waiting here, trying to be patient. Weather is cold in Michigan but right now the roads are clear. I'll jump on the chance when they call. If I can get a day here or there to ride I'll take it. Was #6 on the orignal list at my dealer, I've been next up for about 3 weeks.
 
Well, I finally got the call that mine came in and like clock work it started to snow the hour we were on our way to the dealership! Then it snowed and dumped twice more since then. I live in Albany NY and up till then it was cold but clear roads. So I could have at least took it for a blast. But now we have snow, wet roads and salt so it sits! But at least I can get the mods done to it while I wait to take it to Daytona in March. The new seat should be back next week and the accent lighting was finished last week. As soon as the seat is back I will post some pics of the seat and lights.

Ride safe.

So what did you do on the seat? I have plans to recover my seat next month. I'm thinking about a yellow stripe with black carbon fiber sides. Can't wait to see yours. :doorag:
 
Seat is being done over in black "baby gator" with reworked foam to give the driver more room before the "hump' All the stiching will be in yellow with 2 spiders up frot and a larger spider on top with web work stitched in as well. I have not seen it yet, but it should be done this week and back to me next.
 
Got about 350 miles on Premiere Edition #538 and enjoying it a whole lot. It certainly helps to have had years of experience piloting a sidecar. Can't understand the reasoning behind omitting the handbrake, however, unless they expected a majority of purchasers to come without previous motorcycle experience.
 
Still waiting here in Bakersfield, California. Was told should be here in January but what I have read will be anytime up till end of March.

Ordered my Spyder july 17 07 Belleville Mich.what a mistake could have ordered it from the moon been the same. They have only received 3 bikes now i'm only 13th in line. saleman said they were to get 8 in jan. & 8 in feb. fat chance. I could be fixing it up during cold weather. How much are the dest .and dealer prep charges my salesman don't have a clue I feel like I have a big gouge coming.I live in ohio about a 140 mi to the dealer. thats going to be a problem. There is a BRP dealer about 40 mi away but he said they would need to be qualified to work on it.I just wished i had it, to have that problem. See ya wildwillie
 
I only ordered my Spyder in Dec....so I think I have several months to wait.....YEAH

I just hope I don't have to wait a year.....I guess time will only tell

Sounds like I have a ways to go. My order in December will is probably a year away. My dealer told me that it was not likely to be here until the end of the riding season. From what I have seen it will be worth the wait. I ordered the SE5 transmission model

:congrats: and :welcome:
 
I dropped an email to my sales guy about mine..... I ordered and placed deposit in Sept. 07..... expected delivery in May 08....... got this email back from Sales guy......

"I just got an email (today) from Can Am's national sales mgr & they still don't even have a breakdown for the March deliveries yet. Obviously, April/May units are not even close to being scheduled. We'll have to keep in touch for those. I probably won't know until March."

INTERESTING............ ::)
 
Ordered mine on Sept 20,2007.Dealer said in May 08'.Seeing that there are folks from 03/07 still don't have their machines,I think it's going to be a long summer.If NY was not such jerks,I would most likly be adapting a wheel kit on a Rev snowmobile(naaaa...$120 a year registration fee on a sled,,,I 'll wait for the Spyder).Got,my jacket on Dec 6.javascript:void(0);
