Jeez, like having it be an assembly line problem would make it all better.

So your main concern is for the buyer???

What Larry, should we worry about Aprillia? Fuk 'em, get yer shit together or die off, if they don't bend over backwards to compensate EVERYBODY who spent TWENTY LARGE on a fooked up bike, they deserve what's comin'..............

Semper Fi!

I think we should worry if the engineering is fooked up... I don't think there is
cause for alarm if some Aprilia employee fooked up and installed the wrong
bearings...

Bombardier was split into two companies a few years back, the recreational entity (now known as BRP, or Bombardier Recreational Products) and the main co. Bombardier Inc., which, as you pointed out, builds trains and planes. The two are no longer commercially linked.

In so far as sled sales, we have had two great winters and sled sales have been holding their own, especially in Canada where the economy has not been hit as hard as the US snowmbelt states (relatively speaking anyhow) so it`s not all doom and gloom for BRP. Also, sled sales are on the rise in Scandinavia and Russia (with the latter being a rapidly developping market)

The dealers to whom I've spoken aren't selling many sleds this winter . Not much snow so far and mild temps .
