First MC accident

[Weave2u]

Was involved in my first motorcycle accident... my Spyder is pretty banged up, but hopefully repairable. I'm a bit sore, but no major injuries. I was on my way to work, doing 55mph when a lady in the cross street decided to leave the stop bar and plow into me... the Spyder and I went rolling down the road... but the Good Lord was with me, and like I said, I received few injuries. Always wear your safety gear... it saved me some scrapes and bruises.

glad your ok, cagers have no idea how fast they can kill a biker. hope you get the spyder back on the road soon.

[Farmboy]

Yes I to glade your ok. that is one of my greatest fears.... getting hit!

[GloryRyders]

Glad you made it through the experience with minimal wear and tear.

[IGETAROUND]

Sorry to hear of your troubles, glad that your relatively OK. Hope that you get your Spyder repaired and back functional soon

[hrbeta]

Glad to hear you're OK, it must have been a terrifying experience. It might not mean much in the end, but that's why I like my Spyder loud and I use my Stebel air horn a lot.

Praise the Lord you're alright! Hope to see you on the road again soon buddy!

Having had mine this past October; it's no dang fun at all when things go wrong! You'll be sore for more than a little while, but it's good that you're basically okay. Anything else can be repaired or replaced! Please let us know how the healing process commences.

[NancysToy]

Glad you survived. Now you know why I call them "Opposing Drivers".

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

I'm very glad to here you are a survivor in this.....IMHO I'd be pushing real hard for a replacement Spyder not a repaired one.....the eventual resale value goes down the toilet on a repaired one......and serious repairs are very, very ,very hard to get perfect and you deserve nothing less....IMHO.....Mike...Good Luck.....

[boborgera]

Sorry, But but glad you were able to walk a way. When you ride out in the open it can get dangerous.

[KAUBOY]

Had my one and only (knock on wood) 30+ years ago. Remember like it was yesterday. Thank God you walked away. I agree...go for a new bike...don't roll over for the ins. company. Take care!

[SpyderAnn01]

Let's hope that this was your only motorcycle accident.

[jimclarkf1]

Glad your OK, and hope the SPYDER gets repaired ASAP, and you get back on it, to regain that SMILE, ans come to SPYDERFEST 3.

[rhansen309]

Sorry to hear about your accident. I too am glad your ok.

You say first like there will be a second...let's pray that's not the case! What protective gear were you wearing?

[GLRange]

Glad to hear you sustained no serious injuries...I just took delivery of a new RT last night actually and this is a good reminder for me to be careful when I get out there. I am a very defensive driver and can ushually pick out the "clowns" when I see them...but sometimes just can't always judge or control what others are gonna do or have enough time to react as you are well aware. At some on the point you just have to trust the angel on your shoulder, hope I have the same one riding with me apparently that was with you.

I know this is not related to your accident but I REALLY want to see something done about people texting while driving...it's getting rediculous and I see it nearly every day now. If someone ever hits me because they were texting , and I can walk I think they are going to need their own angel as well. I believe the statics are 25% of all accident now are due to texting/distracted driving...far more than drunk driving I understand and something needs to be done! If that would be to completely ban any phone usage while driving...so be it.

I know you don't feel great about the whole situation right now but get well soon and remember the Spyder can be replaced.

[Gordy]

sorry to hear of your accident,glad you were on a spyder outcome might have been different on a 2 wheeler

[SpyderDon]

Glad you're ok. Sore is better that a hospital stay. The Spyder will be repaired/replaced and then you can get back on the road.

[DynamoBT]

Glad you are here to post about it. Most drivers of cars don't realize they are opperating a weapon. If more people thought this way, they might pay better attention. I don't like that the trend in cars is to load them up with more and more technological gadgets. When you are driving a car, that's all you are supposed to be doing. It scares me that there probably wasn't a lot you could have done about getting hit.

Anyway, sorry to rant. Inattentive drivers are our worst enemy.

[flamingobabe]

glad to hear you are OK...Spyder can be fixed or replaced

[Clicker1944]

So happy you are here in one piece to write about it.

[kevorama]

Our bikes stand out more than 2 wheelers do. That's one reason we got a Spyder. I got tired of 2nd guessing what a side entrance driver would do. It's another reason I added a 2nd set of head lights down low to the ground. More visibility. I'm glad that you are ok. Don't let the insurance company low ball you and I hope that this incident doesn't discourage you from getting back on again. A bad accident in 87' kept me off of bikes for 20 years. Although, the accident was my fault, totally, it still shook me up pretty bad. Good luck!

[Tin Can]

Glade you are OK.. The can be fixed or maybe better yet the insurance co. will get you a new one...

[JJW SpyderRider]

It's bad to hear about the accident but GREAT to hear you walkway from it . 55 mph + car = new spyder. Unless it was just a glancing blow try to get a new Spyder.
