Aaaaaagh!!!

I will never forget the first and only time that happened to me but was on a sport quad rippin' thru the woods. I was several miles in and hit a rock. My hand came of the grip and inadvertently hit the kill switch. Quad just died. Sat there trying to figure out what the heck was wrong with the machine and contemplating the long walk out of the woods. After a couple of minutes I figured it out. DUH! When I rode with the group someone would always have their fuel shut off when they weren't paying attention. Preferably just prior to a large water crossing or mud hole! Entertainment of the "highest quality"!:clap:Sure wish the Spyder had one of those. But, it would be too dangerous to do that to someone if the machine died in traffic or a busy intersection.:lecturef_smilie:

R U Saying?

Or... Someone did you a 'Favor'. Beware of this at Spyderfest.. Just a word to the wise. hyea:

That there are practical jokers amongst the Spyder Community?


if it were to happen to me I would scream, "Harley Davidson terrorists!"

This kind of goes back to the basics....

F.I.N.E - C

Fuel
Ignition
Neutral
Engine cut off
Clutch

Honestly, those of you that don't use the cut off switch for shut down, should really work on using it. It's a good habit to get into knowing that switch without thinking of it...

And for the shut down it's Thumb Key Valve. Spyders skip that valve step of course so, I guess we could make it Thumb, Brake, Key.
