Hey S & K, to watch your vlog each morning (or, at least, day) has helped me get through some tough days. Your "country-life is laidback and easy going that it reduces the stresses of life's daily crud to a near "nothing" standard. Happy belated 87th birthday to Kelly's dad! My mom turns 87 on May 18th and there are 7 kids that are "clock watching" to that day! We have plans for her!!🤭🙄😇😁 Doug
Mine is sitting at the dealer came in last week have the same issue cant get it yet missing components, thanks for the updates on the 2022 what they done little upgrades good to know,.Thanks Shawn keep up the great work you do on these machines..
Oh happy day 👏👏👏🎇finally getting to see the 2022 Spyder. Wow that bike is a looker, not sure if I would buy that color (it would be a lot of work keeping it looking that way), but man do it look cool. Ok now we need a test ride👍😉 Good to see the Ryker, but the Spyder stole the show 😂
Great ‘22 RT tour! Thanks. My ‘22 RT L ordered in Oct, orig ship date was Feb/March just got moved to ship 6/30/22. I’m in Minnesota with a short season so I hope it’s not moved back further & comes complete. Not mad. Mine will be with the 1st group my dealer receives.
I like that color of the 22 RTL! Getting them with missing parts probably stresses some of the dealers storage areas. That Red K1600 looks good too. My 21 RTL Marsala Dark is 1 year old now . Only put 8,700 miles in a year.
I had a long, busy Thursday, and now it's Friday! Whew! I don't know what color BRP calls it, but it reminds me of pencil lead, so it's Graphite Grey to me. A good looking machine. Can't wait to see what other colors they come out with. Happy Fri-Yay! Peace and love.
As a person who does their own paint jobs i say the same thing every time I see these flat oaints that are so popular.......they forgot the clear coat! Not sure why the truck lid is gloss and the rest is flat. And happy birthday to your father.
Yellow bug splatter sure shows up on a dark color, not so much on the white RK. Beautiful color though. Snow line got very noticeable going to Papa's day party. Love them while you can. Life is short.💖💖. Still waiting for my g310gs-keep telling myself "Be patient "-the world's a mess. Been getting snow and rain in NE Ohio also. Been riding the other bikes when weather permits. Will be riding the JD shortly. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
Wow Shawn that 22 RT looks great! I have to agree with Chris though, it'd be a bear to keep it looking that good, particularly in Kansas with all the dust. A Ryker will be too, but being smaller it would be more manageable I think. Wish Pop a happy belated birthday for me. God bless, Rob
CoachBob3 talked about this in one of his videos this week. BRP shipping them out missing components because they need the space to keep producing. Basically using dealers as their storage facility.
Yeah, they tried storing the Side-by-Side's for a while, and they came to us in a mess. They did pay us to clean them though. Cool folks at BRP! We have room to store them, just keep sending them please... Lol ThanksSS
He got so into telling me a story for a future book yesterday, I though he was telling me about an awesome friendly alien abduction he had as a kid... Lol Should be an awesome book! Yes, he still has that old leather hat..! Thanks Walter!!
🤣 this is EXACTLY what I ordered, same color and everything, was told mid to late May.. time seems to be going VERY VERY slooooow right now. I ordered the floorboard lights and akrapovic exhaust to be added
@@TheSmoaksVlogs I had a 2016 103 Road King and was hit by a pickup truck. He "didn't see me" and I tried another bike this spring but after 10mins I didn't feel safe AT all, so I tried the Tri-Glide and it was very tippy in curves so I said "why not give the spyder a shot" man I'm glad I did, WOW 😃 I had a "test ride" on a RS and was sold, so I bought the 22 RT Limited
I know about the problems getting electronic components. I've been waiting since last Oct for a left hand multi function switch for my 2018 RT. I don't have Reverse, the ability to manually downshift or to manually shift into Neutral. BRP is saying that won't be released until July (maybe). So I've been careful of where I park mine to I don't have to push it.
I’ve seen that those switches were on B/O..! A real bummer when you need one. Luckily, you figured out that they can still be ridden, with some restrictions! 👌 Thanks Greg!! 👍
@@TheSmoaksVlogs Yeah, it doesn't really effect the operability or road worthiness of the bike, just have to make sure I don't park someplace that I'll have to back out of unless I feel like pushing, which I usually don't. :)
English is not my first language but did I understand correctly that this spyder has no reverses and no parking brake? Do you know if they have upgraded the front suspension in the last 3-4 years? Thank you very much for your video.
Those were missing components (now installed) due to world wide supply shortages... Suspension is definitely better, the whole Spyder RT changed in 2020..! Thanks!! 👍
how about the side mirrors after a while they get loose. Did they fix that. Think my buddy said it had a cheep plastic part that just got loose and the mirrors shake on the side
Nice video. Will it be OK to replace Headlights and fog lights with a white bright halogen bulbs Without having any issues. On a 2012 can-am spider rt limited ? Thanks in advance.
I ordered the RT Limited 2022 back in January I’m in the UK still waiting can’t wait, I ordered the carbon black is that the colour of the one in your vlog ? looks amazing keep up the fantastic vlogs 👍
@@VinCode17 the dealer said it should be end of April beginning of May but I’ve not heard anything yet I will call them at the end of April he did tell me back in January that BRP are shipping unit with bits missing as it takes 8 week to get to Europe by boat fingers crossed 🤞
Never thought about it, nor seen anything like that. You simply don’t get wet on the S2S while moving with regular riding gear…. It’s quite amazing how BRP figured this out? 👌 Thanks for watching and commenting!! 👍
Nope… BMW is the only ones that get away with it reliably. Who needs all the crier’s when they fail, and they will..! Never, sounds like a great year for them to me. Lol Thanks Stephen!! 👍
I’d be happy if they had a push button remote locking fob like goldwing has had since ‘02. That has been reliable. An alternative a central lock button on the dash. I don’t need the troubles associated with the keyless fob systems
Unfortunately, I don’t know the sales side of things such as that. If I did, it would probably be incorrect with supply shortages and all nowadays. I do know that BRP is knocking themselves out trying to get everything back to normal..! Awesome folks! 👌 Thanks!! 👍
@@patriotcanuck6485 when we placed our order they said we will get it month of April or early May is the latest but we called so many times and they said there is a shortage of chips. My husband is frustrated and thinking to just buy the 2023.
Papa IS the Man's Man. Wouldn't want to get on his bad side. NOT GOOD!! Lol I'm sorry but as good as that RT looks: Sea to Sky!! My weather was way better than yours. Sorry!! Stay safe and stay prepared, weather wise that is.😰
So what in the hell is the problem with b r p I can't find a Can-Am Spyder anywhere at any dealership the dealership by my house has a Spyder RT that is 4 years old and they're asking $28,000 for it ridiculous even thought about buying a Ryker instead can't find them either so does anybody have an answer to this it don't try and give me the stupid covid-19 is the problem answer
Where have you been for the last couple years..? Like every other manufacture out there, BRP is running into supply and manpower issues. BRP is working very diligently 24/7 to get things back on track. I promise you, the Spyder's are coming! Thanks Mike!!
FINALLY #1!!! Now my day has truly started on the right note! You two "Smoak"ers have a FABULOUS day! Doug🧸🤓😁🐻😇🧸
Awesome! 👌

Saw the same vid. Cb3 rocks.
hello that can am etc look s so beautiful happy birthday pop
Happy Birthday to Pop.
I got mine in Apr23.. RTL22 Matt black. Retired my 08 Wing to my Son.
Beautiful place
I just bought a 2022 Sea to Sky and can’t wait to take delivery!
So... after 3 years.. do you prefer the style and construction of the 2015 - 2019 RTS? I do and still have it.
I loved them during their run, and still do. But the 2020 refresh was such a game changer, I don’t think I could ever go back…
Thanks Bernard!! 👍👊
Hi, can you do a video if you get any of the Manta green ones in? I want one... would love to see a video of it! Thanks!
Now I know why I don't get my Sea-to-Sky yet! I have pre-order in september.
Pops is one cool dude. Man he has some serious stories. Does he still have that hat??? 🤔 Happy B-day Pops!!
He got so into telling me a story for a future book yesterday, I though he was telling me about an awesome friendly alien abduction he had as a kid... Lol Should be an awesome book! Yes, he still has that old leather hat..!
Thanks Walter!!

@@TheSmoaksVlogs ok thank took a better look at my wifes, it has foot gaurds, but i do need touch up paint for the sea to sky green 2020
Still no Central locking for such expensive top of the line spyder. 2030 maybe 🤔
