Accident and Spyder totaled
First off.. I'm alright and at home. Will go to Doctor tomorrow to have a check out but so far no pains.
heading West on I-275 in Kentucky towards airport. I was the tail gunner for a PGR mission to the airport to bring a soldier home. I was doing 60 mph in traffic and then WHAM! I saw it a split second and gunned it but didn't get to the shoulder. Witness stopped and said he say the whole thing. Taxi cab was traveling fast and slammed into me. Taxi driver said he was doing 60. Uh.. WRONG. He hit me had enough that my cooler flew out the right saddlebag and I ran it over with the right front tire.
Managed to stay on the bike and a small scratch on my helmet visor. The bike just went over 600 miles. KY is a no fault state so no citations issued (grr.....). Progressive insurance notified.

no such thing as a "fender bender"...
Sorry about your spYder, but glad that you are okay. Even with the added stability of a spYder there is still that added risk without the closed in protection of a car/ truck. I guess that is why everyone that I talk to that rides a motorcycle/trike says their senses are very hightened when they are on the road. I hope I will be able to say the same. Good luck with getting your spYder repaired or new one and once again, glad you are able to tell your own story and not have to have some one tell it for you. God is good!

OMG!!! What time did this happen? We must have just missed you ...........
Teddy & I were babysitting at my best friends house yesterday, who lives right off of 275W by the airport and we left his place around 7:30pm and didn't see any comotion at that time, so I'm guessing this must have happend shortly after?
We're both glad that you are ok & I'll PM you my number, if there's anything we can do to help, just let us know.
