• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

RT safety - I'm Impressive!!

Last Thursday I hit a deer in Co. going at least 60 mph. The only reason I am writing this tonight is because of the safety features in the Spyder, I believe! When the deer hit me it rolled over the front and off my helmet and rt. shoulder into the ditch. The engine shut off on impact and the suspension must have kicked in to keep me from rolling. I had plastic a football field length from impact to we're the Spyder stopped. I was wearing full leathers. I walked away with skin torn on my rt. arm, a sm. bone in rt. wrist broken and a slight concussion. I realize I'm very fortunate but feel even more assured it is one of the safest ride on the road, plus the most fun! Going for a couple of deer whistles to decorate my new, newer one!

Wow! Glad it was not more serious! Have hit three with a car, but none so far with the Spyder! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

first that your injuries are minimal and second that the Spyder performed so well. Check with Reggy Tan owner of TricLEDS..he showed me some remote operated deer whistles...not just the air activated that are questionable if they really work. Certainly worth checking out. I live in high deer population country. TricLEDS is a SLovers sponsor.:thumbup:
 
Glad to hear you'll be ok. Looks like quite a bit of damage there. Have to agree that the Spyder is the one to be on when a deer is hit.
Looks like you got hit approx. the same place I got hit, 4 yrs. ago. He hit me in the left hand, and knocked my thumb out of joint. Since I was on my GS manual shift, took me 1/4 mile to get it stopped. Had to pull clutch in with what I thought was a broken hand. ....$3000. damage.
Keep us informed on how well the insurance and dealer work with you. Wishing the best for you. Take care.
 
Yikes..!!

saw your post on FB but still gotta say good thing you were on a roadster. Heal well and be safe out there..!! :yikes:
