Check the video above.
The Spyder rolled which was not show in other photos and videos until the one I listed above.
I believe he hit the guard rail and slid. The Spyder kept going until it crossed all lanes of traffic and hit the median on the other side.

While its sad to see any accident at least I can say I wasn't the only guy to flip a Spyder this year! hehehe
I hope he recovers okay. Road rash sucks!

How are you doing healing up by the way??

As the saying goes YA CAN'T FIX STUPID!!!!!!! just my 2c............ I think he was on drugs or something to get tossed that far and the bike going THAT far had to have something MORE than just stupidity and speed. The comments after the pic. were just as bad. Think the guy is just a BIG SHOT PLAYER THAT THINKS HE CAN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING. He guessed wrong on this trip.

Actually, if you take into account he could walk away from it, he did get away with it.
He must have one helluva lawyer though. Prior to this mishap, he had 4 convictions in 1 year and only 2 points on his license!

I have 3 in 3 years and they are ready to bury me under a large rock!

It looks like he was riding an RS which does not come with cruise control

true, unless it was an aftermarket add on.

Naaahhh! Spyder owners never add anything after market to their bikes (Sniff! Can't you just smell the pungent aroma of sarcasm in the breeze!?)
This guy is even luckier AGAIN!!! The Browns are going to pay him his full salary while sits on the sidelines!

I have a Google alert set for Can-Am Spyders and this came up...

I would say he should go out a buy a lottery ticket but...

1. He doesn't have valid license to drive out and get one
2. He doesn't need one with $30k per week coming in for just sitting at home.

But if he wins and doesn't need the cash, maybe he'll just pay the taxes on it and forward the money to you since you suggested it!

Left hand is healed up I can finally bend my right middle finger almost all the way. Still swollen though.
I'm doing great! Going to post a follow-up on my thread once my insurance check comes in.
