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.

don't really know of any. there have been three or four fatalities the last couple of years, but a couple of those could have been prevented. all I know is, I prefer to stay out of those statistics. ride safe!!! :thumbup:

Have not seen any stand alone safety stats concerning the :spyder2:, other than when the engine fire issue was running strong.
As said above, ride safe and try not to become a statistic.

Too my knowledge, motorcycle accidents & fatalities are not kept according to Make & Model.
However, records are kept according to type, and sport bikes lead with the greatest factor being inexperienced riders and speed.

Not according to Idaho statistics for 5 years, 2009 to 2013, for 127 fatalities. http://idahostar.org/_blog/News_Room/post/preventing/
Here is a comment about the value of training. http://idahostar.org/BlogRetrieve.a...archID=12124942&ObjectID=553967&ObjectType=55

3, and 1 more
Bob;
i too have heard of those 3... and i know of 1 more.... a woman here in SoCar was on Rt. 25 and a fellow rider came in contact with her, and the results weren't very pretty.... she survived with multiple injuries, but is ok today....
as far as i know, of the 120,000+ units built, there hasn't been an accident directly related to the functioning of the SPYD3R itself... they have all been either rider, or other drivers at fault....
i'd say that we ride a pretty damn good vehicle to say the least...
BRP, a big THANK YOU....

We should all recognize that there is a chance that we can get injuried riding a motorcycle/Spyder and because we purchased out Spyders we accept and believe that if we ride safely that no injuries will happen to us. "Our Prayer" Amen.
I hope no one gets offended by my statement.

That could be said of any motorcycle I think, with the one exception of tire blowouts, and that's probably a pretty small percentage of all accidents.

Just for your info... The 2 rear end collisions this year that killed the rider.

I have friended the 56 year old man's daughter on FaceBook and when the time is right I plan to ask her what the injuries were to him that caused his death.
I think it is good for us Spyder riders to know what happens when you get rear ended so possibly we can take some action if we know it is coming.
Right now my theory is to stand up so you come off the Spyder rather than sustain back or neck injuries slamming into the backrest or trunk area.

This is something I'm pretty passionate about and it really stems from my pilot training both in the military and as a civilian. As others have said, we can fear ourselves to death but with good training, continued training and situational awareness, the risks are minimized a great deal. As a pilot, the flying part is easy. The continuous training required is all about emergencies and being aware so that your skills are sharp IF something happens. I think that's true for any vehicle, especially one with low visibility to other drivers.
I'm sure if there were statistics available around accidents that involved stopping, where you can easily dump a 2 wheeled motorcycle, you would likely see that 3 wheels are by far better than 2. That's just common sense. It's the left/right and rear to pay attention to and with training around defensive riding i.e. expecting it to happen, you can likely avoid those situations. The rear is my biggest concern and one of the reasons I'm excited about the helmet coming out from Skully called the AR-1. www.skully.com I honestly feel that ANYTHING that will provide me with better situational awareness is a good thing and worth the extra dollars. The key will be training the person on how to use these new tools effectively. One of the things I don't understand is why there isn't a rear storage unit for the F3 considering riders want more storage and we all want to be more visible. Doesn't the RS have one? I would purchase one just for the visibility alone.
Honestly, it's just about being professional in your approach so that you can really enjoy a fantastic machine.

:agree: You have to Monitor Your Rear Just as Much as You Look forward? You have to Constantly Scan the Perimeter of the road Looking for signs of Deer or Moving animals? While you Enjoy the ride You still need to be More Aware of your surroundings Because you Do Not have a Cage around you, Seat belt OR air bag.nojoke
Don't have any real specs but after 46 years on two wheels, I feel much safer on three, if you get hit you don't have any more protection than a two wheeler. But run into lose gravel (tar and chips) three is much better, also rain not as much of a problem as if on two. The best thing look ahead, see a head turn in the car up front, think lane change no signal. Keep your eye on the road and look out for yourself. Ride smart ride sober. Screw the stats it's about the ride the air,sights smells, freedom the open road you don't get riding in a box. Jim
