    Good information posted from the study.

    Worth paying attention to.

    I do like to banter a bit though. Guilty as charged. Sometimes, I think the banter helps to diffuse a potential argument--that is sometimes though.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    At my age the Spyder solves the problem. Now all I have to do is not trip over the hose!

    I've lost three of them with Diet Pepsi... I doubt that the Coke products are any safer!

    Good information!!!
    But really nothing is really new, these points have been or were emphasized in MC training going back to 1977.

    Read Revzilla's writeup on it. I think they make some good points about how this study was conducted differently and had new insight into crashes and near-crashes based on real, live data rather than survivor's and witnesses' recollection of events.

    [QUOTE=UtahPete;1292339]I'd put money on it. This is a great marketing opportunity for Can-Am; I hope they jump all over it.


    Can-Am needs an advisory board made up of individuals who actually ride Spyders - - not the people at the factory who test ride them to make sure the wheels are round - - but a group of owners who know the Spyder, understand the mindset and needs of the rider, know the market, and have a vested interested in the success of the product. (Just my 2 cents....)
