What have you hit with your Spyder.........

[Bob Denman]

Bob, I think in this situation, with only a small gravel shoulder for my buddy on the 2 wheeler to swerve around the car, I am pretty sure me and the missus would have been in the ditch! I think in most situations we are safer on 3 , but in certain cases the difference in width makes the 2 wheeler more maneuverable. At least in this case it was. By the way as to the original Post, crossing my fingers, have never hit anything on the Spyder. three deers in cars though!!

No doubt; a two-wheeler has more maneuverability...
But when the situation is rapidly turning to mud ; I think that I'd prefer stability.

I have hit the twisties, gas, brakes, highbeams, turn signals, kill switch, horn and all the gears.

Good one!

My wife and I had a bad accident in a tunnel last May, totaled our GoldWing. A month later we rode to Sturgis and had all sorts of issues with Wind shear, heavy rain and hail. It motivated us to trade the Wing and buy an RTS. My days of two up, 900 lb bikes towing a trailer are over. Still have my HD ultra for one up. If you stay with one vehicle and ride 2 up stick with the RT.

in the small quiet roads in the Pyrenees (Spain), the farmers have the habit for the cows to graze. roadsides
yeah ... when suddenly stands among the herd of cows? .... just turn engine off and silent wait.
and hope that the "bull" get no interest in the spyder.
outside cattle sheep / horses also roam freely on the quiet roads.
that a great sheep-dog to your boots will smell .... ok! up there.
but the animal must be kept closed lip!
being always experiences, that the sweat production is going up

I ran over my left foot while moving it around the warehouse. I first noticed I couldn't move my foot than looked down finding out why.

Hit a dead armadillo on my way home from spyder fest in the fog, thank heavens for the new bump skid did its job. If I was on two wheels I'd be like a greasy slider skidding down the road And a rabbit .

Bugs. I hit bugs all the time. The Spyder is very effective at killing bugs. It is just not efficient in terms of $$$ spent per bug killed.

Make that pot holes here.

We have pot holes, lots of pot holes.

They fix the pot holes, then you hit fixed pot holes because they don't fix them good enough.

I want to just hit the road...extended trip

I haven't had the spyder long enough to hit anything with it, and hope I never do. On past bikes I had a 2000 ZRX1100 and thought I was going to take a bird in the face, flinched and went off the side of the road and fell into a drainage ditch which was not bad but the 14 inch pipe at the end was not so good! I was tossed off and broke shoulder blade and the bike did 3 flips in the air and was totaled. Riding the 2002 Goldwing I took a falling walnut in the chest, thought I had been shot! Had to pull over and cry it hurt so bad!

[Bob Denman]

A Walnut??
Owwww... that hurts; even just thinking about it!

This is the end result of what I hit, or I should say the end result when a car hit me.

I am the only one that's going to admit that they have scraped and hit a few curbs. Curb check anyone??

This is the best place to know each others and more.

Curb feelers for your Spyder!

lol, just might have too...

[Bob Denman]

I think that the RS and ST wheels are a bit more vulnerable to that type of damage...
The difference in the wheel's offset, has the center spokes sticking out beyond the rim of the wheel.

[MouthPiece]

This is what I tried to show in my earlier post. Not sure why it didn't go through. Hopefully it will this time. Anywho, this is what my spyder looked like when a car hit me.

Picked up my new to me Spyder from the dealer & proudly rode it home. When I got there, family & neighbours around watching me. I very skilfully pull up the curb & scape the entire circumference of the right front wheel along the curb as I come to a stop.

Don't know whether I was more embarrassed or p****d off.

Haven't done it again.

I hit curb with my 1st Spyder in 2007 it was the first time I took it for a ride
Never did it again
The worst thing that happened to me was last summer I was riding with short sleeve shirt and a bee went up my sleeve and stung me in the arm pit I thought my arm fell off that hurt for 2 days but I kept riding

[spydaman60]

I hit 107 or 108, didn't want to take my eyes off the road much!!

Where can I get these. Preferably chromed, with a Harley logo....I have HD friends that need them.
