LOL... I never thought of that. OK so I guess mine won't be here until five weeks after Jay'si'm thinking about the fact that the first spyder to roll off the assembly line was on september 14th. that unit was to go to jay leno (supposedly he will have it on october 22nd). what have they been doing for five weeks? based on this timeframe, it will be well into november for the first "non-celeberty" units (at best).
SERIOUSLY considering giving up my place in line and waiting until spring. Why store it and stare at it wishing I could ride it when there is snow on the roads. When I put money down nearly 9 months ago I thought. "Well it's a long wait until September" The last month has been worse and still waiting.LOL... I never thought of that.

If you were not 1, 2 or maybe 3 allocation from your dealer, you were always January or later.I just checked with my dealer and my November date has been pushed back to January.
Apparently BRP had some difficulties with packaging the Spyders for transport, and their production line is operating a lot slower than was anticipated.
Hi Ken,He was told BRP that they were shipping 1st round (Oct) to Calif., Az., and Florida only second round starts Nov.
The delivey schedule for the dealer I saw with my own eyes, the delivery to the states was told to the dealer and then told me the 2nd round starts nov. so if you gentlemen get bikes in oct then it sounds like only one of 2 people ( Dealer or BRP ) speaks with forked tongue.Hi Ken,
yea,, that aint so true lol, and would NEVER make any sense. They are comming up to MA also not to mention this has been confirmed, you need to get them into the north ASAP and not some time in november and January due to weather. Once the snow starts comming down, you cant take delivery of them around here, well let me restated that, you cant drive them once the snow is on the ground. You would have an absolute revolt if they show up in January and the dealer tells you, you have to take delivery of it to get it out of his shop or charge you, dare I say, for storage.
as a side note, i see that you are in san diego. have you paid for your spyder yet? i'm just curious what your shipping/set-up fees were.The delivey schedule for the dealer I saw with my own eyes, the delivery to the states was told to the dealer and then told me the 2nd round starts nov. so if you gentlemen get bikes in oct then it sounds like only one of 2 people ( Dealer or BRP ) speaks with forked tongue.
Wish they could just deliver them all.

CharlesHey Ken,
I spoke with BRP earlier today, and after speaking with them, having been put on hold while they checked on a few things, I was told that they started shipping out on Oct 16th, that they are on the road and will start showing up at dealers any day now. That they are en-route to the North East states also. My dealer is getting one spyder in October, One in November and then One in December according to his allocation sheet he recieved on tuesday. His inside source also stated that they will be arriving in the North East any day now as they are en-route. But let us know if you see them down there!!!!
Interesting that you bring that up, I started talking about the out the door costs just yesterday afternoon and I was really close on all of it till that part.as a side note, i see that you are in san diego. have you paid for your spyder yet? i'm just curious what your shipping/set-up fees were.
Soooooooo true! For the first time I'm asking myself how much do I "really" want this? Anger is making me want to call my dealer and tell him what he can do with his Spyder! I've drafted several imaginary letters in my head to write to BRP as well as notifying the news media, government and Martha Stewart!!! That's how far I've gone. But, at the end of the day, I take another "wuss" pill and wait 'till the next day to see what BRP is doing to me!!! We (I) really do need a support group!!Well Guys,
I've been keeping up with the latest up-dates on deliveries and it looks as if some of you Lucky Dogs will getting your Spyder's REAL soon.
Being #7 on the list, I can't expect to see mine until 2008 some time and that fact has me more than just a little disappointed. It's difficult for me to maintain a high interest level when I'm looking at at least another 3 months before possibly receiving mine. The anticipation has worn me down quite a bit.
This (trickle) of units arriving is cruel to some degree, like that Tease in high school. Some guys get some and some guys don't but all are waiting for their chance.
Like someone posted somewhere else in this forum about this,someday we all will get together and laugh about this.Soooooooo true!
