Melted 2010 orbital blue spyder, rest in peace bastrop texas
As some may know us, we lived in Bastrop Tx.. The wild fire got a little too close to us and we lost our beloved Spyder with only 10500 miles. she was a good steed and never had any issues. Sill had mods on the workbench just waiting for time to install.. Not only did we loose the spyder, we lost our home and everything in it... Hopefully when we are no longer homeless, we can provide a home to a new spyder in our life. I have really enjoyed all the great info from this site (great job Lamont!) and all the great contributers and friend we have made. Ryde safe ya'll..

Dave-so sorry to hear of your loss. No words can help with this much loss. My daughter and future son-in-law live in Elgin and was very concerned with all the fires around them. Again, I am so sorry and hopefully you will be back on your feet soon and Thank God you are safe. Things can be replaced, but your safety and that of your family is far more important. Good luck and keep us posted when you have a new Our thought and prayers are with you and your loved ones.

being a fire survivor myself I know it sucks. You have a crap load of emotions to deal with now and you will have a different mind set from now on (I am living in year 4 of recovery) but rest assured since you are all safe, you are sound. You will have new memories, there will be good times to come, and you will most assuredly ride again. Good luck and stay safe.

Dave, so sorry to hear that one of our Spyder Lovers family was so hard hit by the fires. It makes us realize that the fires were much more than an item on the news. They affected many, many people. We're happy you and your family are safe and look forward to hearing about your new when other things are taken care of!

It is one thing to read about the fires, and hear the news guy call out a number telling how many homes have been burned, but it really doesn't hit home until one of the "family" is affected. So very sorry to hear of the loss of your Spyder, your home, and your everything. I'm glad you are able to look to the future already. I hope you can start to rebuild soon.

Backup
Of course, I agree with the above... I hope you get back into shape quickly.
Having said that, and allowing the geek in me to rise...
It's important to have your computer stuff, tax returns, photos, program data, spyder insurance papersork, etc backed up and off site!
For $50 or $60 a year, you'll never lose any precious data. I have my 1500+ photos on my iMac at home, my iPad at home or in my car, and on my iPhone in my pocket, and I still backup continually. As many of you know, I lost my wife a few months ago, and a lot of those pics in my pocket can NEVER be taken again!
[{< geek mode suspended >}]
I now return you to your regularly scheduled Spyder thread... :^)
Regards-
Frank.

Thanks
Getting a place to live tomorrow, so will have a home wanting and waiting for a spyder to enter the garage once again. Talking to formost and central texas powersports next week to see what may be in our future spyderwise. Hopefully we can work something out without costing me a fortune. I had just gotten the blue baby the way we wanted it too... Thanks for all the prayers ya'll ... This fire really was a bod one... destroyed about 1600 homes. Not just burned but totally to ashes, not a toothpick unburned. Really devastating to such a small community. But there are alot of folks worse off than we are, and we were insured pretty well I think... Lamont if you are thinking about a 2012 model, I may know a buyer for ya...lol

Replacement on it way
We have a 2011 rts on it's way to replace the 2010 blue spyder that we lost. Hopefully it will be as trouble free as our melted blue one. Changing to silver color and to the se so maybe this one can escape any fires in the future. Thanks for all the prayers ya'll. We can and will rebuild our home (but not in the forest) and rebuild our lives. I'm sure the new spyder will help things get back to normal!
