Interesting visit to my dealer

Stuart Ostroff said:

I took a ride yesterday from Pittsburgh up to Akron, NY (nr Buffalo) to visit my dealer - Buck's Motorsports. This is 245 miles from my home, but the nearest dealer?

I had spoken with Jan (Buck?) a few times over the months since I sent him my deposit check on June 22. I never received my certificate, but it IS in the mail. I sense there may have been some confusion but I didn't press him on this point. Jan's first question to me was "where are you on my list?" I assured him I had no access to his list. He thinks I may be #8 on his list out of about 18 he has sold to date. And he told me that after the initial delivery of 4 machines in the next week or two, he is slated to receive 5 units at end-December. This means I could possibly receive one before 07 is over. In any case, he assured me I'd have mine by 3-31, as promised before. Jan told me that the BRP organization is strained by the recent activity, and his normal contact (coordinator) is NOT handling details on the Spyder.

Jan gave me my jacket, which I confirmed fit (XL). Very nice. Complete with BRP hanger!

They had 2 of the demo machines outside on a trailer, waiting to be picked up by another nearby dealer.

A nice day for a 500 mile ride, and another peak at what I am patiently waiting for.

Delays are part of life. I have found that no matter how much patience I pray for, I never get it. Instead, I receive something to be patient for.

And this Spyder fiasco is one helluva lesson in patience.

Yes, you are correct - Chaffee is a bit closer to PGH than Akron.

So you and your father will be getting your machines very soon! I'd like to ride up to have a look when they arrive.

Bucks motorsports is not the closest dealer to pittsburgh, pioneer motorsports in Chaffee, NY is closer. My father and I ordered ours there in early March and we are #1 and #2 on their list. They have sold over 30 machines to date.

Darren, I met your dad when I did the demo ride at Chaffee in early July. I remember him because he said he had been having balance problems with his bike due his short inseam and that I probably had the same problem. (I'm 6'2") I thought that was an interesting perspective. By the way, Stuart Ostroff lives quote close to me in the South Hills. We should have a joint ride when all the smoke clears and everyone has their equipment.

I am not a patient person, so I tend to avoid situations that could cause me frustration. I was a little late to the Spyder sceen, but probably would not have ordered one in the first shipment anyway because of this. Leading edge is often close to Bleeding edge.

I hope they start showing up very soon.
