Sad day for my Spyder

**SpyderAnn01** · 11-16-2011, 03:37 PM

Glad to hear you are okay. Too bad for the Spyder though.

**MarkLawson** · 11-16-2011, 05:40 PM

Praise God that you're OK!

(Now you know the only way to remove the front end of a Spyder faster than a Lamonster disassembly!)

**Hawk Eye** · 11-16-2011, 07:00 PM

Glad that you are OK. You can always replace the Spyder.

My guess is the frame was bent or twisted with that much damage. I saw a complete frame replacement done on an RS, but on an RTS the cost would not be justifiable. Better start thinking about what color you want for the new one. Oh yea, don't forget to add cost for new underwear when the claim is filed. Glad ur OK.

Shows the good sense of being properly attired in protective gear. Nobody can predict when an accident will happen or how they'll come out of it. Happy you are OK, your Spyder will be repaired or replaced and you'll ryde again.

Oh my gosh! Glad you're OK. The bike is just a ... well, a bike.

**StanTheMan** · 11-16-2011, 09:24 PM

Sorry to hear about your Spyder; it's unfortunate. I'm glad you were not physically injured. I hope thing get settled quickly: so you can get back riding soon.

**SemperFiSpyder** · 11-16-2011, 10:01 PM

Glad you're OK!

**Sarge707** · 11-16-2011, 10:20 PM

Glad your OK- Can,t replace your health!!!
I swear its like "Escape and Evasion riding with distracted drivers today?"

**rhansen309** · 11-16-2011, 10:24 PM

SO glad you are ok!!

Now that would be a real bummer!!!! Again sooo glad you are good and hopefully the lady that caused accident has insurance to cover Spyder repair....

MurphyBrown took the words right out of the tips of my fingers!

You cannot be replaced. Can you say 2012.... Too bad you will have to deal with depreciation -

I'm glad you're here to ride another day Bro

Thanks Lamont, I got the bike to the dealer and they are starting on the repair estimate now, Hoping for totaled so I can replace it with a 2012 RTs Se5

Not necessarily true... They're sticking a new frame under my Tupperware from my October incdent... $12,953 in damage... But the "Phoenix" will rise from the ashes!

Thank you I'm fine and not even to sore today, Spyder is at the dealer to get the repair or replacement started, hoping for a totaled bike so I can move up to a 2012, keep your fingers crossed for me.

What insurance company? Mine does totals at 40% or more damage to value.

**Bob Denman** · 11-17-2011, 12:35 PM

Wow!!! Only 40% and they total it?!? American Modern Home will let you get to about 70% before they start getting serious about taking the vehicle. But there aren't any hard and fast rules about the actual threshold though...

**ArmyJoe** · 11-17-2011, 12:44 PM

Sorry to hear about your Spyder. Did you come off or were you able to hold on?

**Bob Denman** · 11-17-2011, 01:05 PM

Me, or Idapsud?
I stayed put and rode it out... A rather uneventful crash; it such a thing exists...

I don't know if Ida was able to hang on or not though...

**Bob Denman** · 11-17-2011, 02:22 PM

You might be able to grow it; but that doesn't make it the easiest piece to replace! I'd prefer paying for parts over healing any day of the week!

**MikeinGA** · 11-17-2011, 04:58 PM

Sorry about you and your Spider. My wife allways wear riding gear, I rode bikes for years and saw a few crashs and a lot of blood. I hope you get a new spider soon. Ride safe.

Bob,

On bikes. It is higher on cages but I do not know the percentage.
