• 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.

It would be good to know how much experience she had on the spyder..... My wife had a side hack scooter..... got used to "steering" it like a spyder....... I took the side car off and she wrecked it within 30 minutes because she still tried to "steer" instead of counter-steering the now two wheeled scooter.... ran off the right side of the road in a left hand corner......Wonder if the lady was used to counter-steering and thus ran off the road.

My condolences to her family and friends..... it's always sad when we lose a fellow ryder.:pray::pray:

Or maybe operator inattention to the sudden need to push on that right-side handlebar? It can happen in a second, and BAM, you're off the road.

The Spyder handles so effortlessly on the straightaway that it lulls you into complacency if you don't watch out! I know, I've caught myself doing this on our long, long Texas straight stretches.

Poor lady, it's just too sad. :pray:
 
Very sorry to hear this but please don't guess what happened or what part might have failed without the facts. Could have been a dog ran out in front of her and she swerved to miss it. None of us were there, none of us saw the bike so none of us should guess what happened till we know the facts.

:agree: Thoughts and prayers for her family.
 
Sad Indeed

We have to keep from speculating about the cause and just remember it could be any of us. Sometimes things happen too quickly to control and all the ABS and Nannies in the world can't help. We're still riding on top of the vehicle just like a motorcycle or snowmobile and just as vulnerable. Sad for this lady's family and friends and a reminder for the rest of us.

What are the facts? If you find out please share with the rest in the interest of Spyder Safety.

Terrible news. God bless our lost Sister and her family and friends. It reminds us that the activity we all so dearly love can turn dangerous or deadly in an instant and we all have to be alert and at our best at all times.
