:bowdown:I had the bad luck of having my Spyder break down in Albuquerque, but had the Good luck of having great support from BRP. I was so happy with all their support. Now I had the bad luck of having a lady back up on an off ramp and ran smack into me on the Spyder. Knocked the (custom painted) Hood off, broken fenders and I don't know what else yet. The Good luck I was on the Spyder instead of my Harley or she would have run over me. I didn't break any bones but I have to have a MRI on my shoulder. I think I might of tore something. Those who have seen my bike have seen all my Tricled lights, I checked them after the accident and they all still work! What a quality product and sponsor!!!

With drivers like that woman:yikes: no one on the road is safe no matter what they ride / drive. Glad it was not worse and that you'll be ok.

I definitely will have them do a thorough inspection. The owner of the dealership called me yesterday just to check and see how I was doing. I know they will do a good job.

Lady said she looked in her mirrors and didn't see me. I said what were you thinking. She said she had changed her mind from turning left and was backing up to get in the far right lane to go shopping. Just my luck.

WOW Get everything checked out. Hope she had insurance. That sucks. Well wishes you way. Reminds me of an "accident" a few years ago.

I'm very glad you came out OK Dave, sorry for your beautiful RS but she can be fixed/replaced. Also hope your old aching body gets a break LOL
Someday our society will understand that NOT everyone is meant to drive, it's funny to listen to the gun control issue when I bet all my marbles, more people are killed/maimed by irresponsible drivers than guns.

Teddy & I are so glad that it was not worse than what it was :bowdown:and that you were on your Spyder. While we were in SITA, our buddy (SporterSpyder=Stan) was in a head on collision with a person that crossed the center line and right into him :shocked: on his Harley:yikes: and he was airlifted to the hospital, just happened yesterday, so I'll go see him when I get off work today. Suppose to be non-life threatening injuries, but he's banged up pretty badly. Just so glad this wasn't the case with you:pray::bowdown::pray: Definately get checked out, and hope they find all is well with you and that your shop has your Spyder as good as new, sooner than later:pray: Teddy and I will say a prayer for you:pray: Stay safe ;)
