WOW... Spyder Ryder

[Marker]

I got a great surprise last Monday I got my welcome package in the mail. BRP put together an awesome package. I have not had the time to go on line to register but did read the contents and look them over. One question where are people putting their spyder ryder crest (patch) and pin ? leather vest, Jacket not wearing the patch and pin. Since I am a new rider I do not know. I have seen other riding club members putting various rally patches and pins on leather vests so just curious:2thumbs: The included info cards will come in handy as everytime I stop at stores and to get gas people come over to look at the spyder and want to know where you buy them and to ask lots of questions about them. BRP knows that riding customers are their best salespeople and advertisement for the :f_spider:.

Welcome Package?

Welcome Package? Huh? I have not recieved one of them. Bought mine on 19 Jun and have seen nor heard nothing from BRP. What did you do to get one?

Looks like the Welcome Package is getting nicer....Us "Ole' Timers" packages didn't include a patch.

It usually takes 60-90 days.

:agree:It took close to four months for us to receive ours, but it sure was a nice surprise. :clap:
As far as placement of patches, I think I have seen it all. I feel like it is a personal choice on small items like that. You can also Google "Motorcycle Patches" for more info on meanings of numbers, letters, rockers, etc. Good info to know as you join the community.:chat:

I bought 2 spyders and only got 1 packet so I lost mine to my lovely Wife.

It took about 8 weeks to get mine.

 

[ARtraveler]

It appears the welcome packages are mailed to new owners quarterly. How long it takes to get to you depends on when you purchased in the quarter.

 

[AndyIsRiding]

We got ours in 7 weeks, and that is with the Canada Post strike.
Took 8 weeks to get the Best letter and information.

 

[ruthie]

The information cards has really come in handle to pass out to all the people that ask about the :spyder2:. I ran out the ones that came with the welcome package but pick up some more at Americade.

Also, received may 5000 mile pin today. Last week I went over 10,000 miles so have to find out how to get that pin.

We took delivery of our spyder April 28,2011. But just received our package as Canada post strike held thing up too.

This directly from Can Am web site:

Q: I DID NOT RECEIVE MY OWNER’S WELCOME PACKAGE IN THE MAIL.

A: You will receive your Can-Am Spyder welcome package within three months of taking delivery of your new roadster if your dealer has registered your unit with a valid mailing address. If you have registered your roadster under a company name, you will not receive the welcome package.

you were very luck to receive your packet so soon. it took almost six months to recieve ours. but that was througha BRP policy error. demo bikes are listed as the second owner for the first consumer purchaser; and had I not called about it... we would've never been sent one. BRP only sends packects to the first titled owner; and a dealer is considered the first owner, when a demo is involved. hopefully that'll change soon.

the patch and pin are MINE !!! the Maggie Valley Rally pin was scarfed up by my loving wife. so I'm out on that. but the packet fan-fold cards go like halloween candy. we keep them in the bike, and I hand them out (along with a business card of our saleman...) to everyone who comes up and asks questions. a real handy marketing idea...

Great idea for the packet fan fold cards as I have put them in the bike now as everytime I stop for gas etc.. people come up to the me and start asking questions about the :f_spider:. I will be getting some of our salemans business cards to keep as he is a great guy to deal with

 

[acinpcola]

Anyone know if BRP will send out more cards to us? They do go fast at the beaches and malls.

Spyder emblem patch on back of my chaps!

:spyder2:I received my welcome package right away, my shop registered my Spyder, was very surprised to get it, also a pin was in the box. I have a great pair of chaps that have a wide kidney belt area made into the chaps, I had my patch sewn on the center back, was the best spot so it could be seen, looks great and the pin is on my jacket, my husband is now looking at getting a 2012 RT, hopefully we can see some up close and personal very soon!:clap:

For those interested, the Original Post asked a question.

I wear a textile jacket, or mesh jacket depending on the weather, and I don't want to wear an outer riding vest.

I've chosen to collect pins, and not patches.

Also, I don't feel like carrying all those pins around with me, so I have a strip of nylon webbing that I mount the pins on. This strip is displayed in the entrance foyer of my home.

I know, I'm a single guy, so this is the only thing I have hanging on my walls. Left to my own devices, I'd hang Frank Frazetta or Julie Bell paintings.

They're great, but they interfere with the whole "love nest" concept (wink wink nudge nudge) :doorag:

I purchased my Sypder in April, 2010. I never received the packet so I guess my dealer never registered me with BRP. I registered with them on the internet a few months later and never received anything. My dealer has now went bankrupt and I guess I am out of luck.
