Oh man this is just awful. But as you said, not on your goldwing. Hope you remain painless.

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.

wow, glad your ok and was able to walk away, I can't imagine what it would have been like if you had a passenger.
Taxi drivers are one of the worse distracted drivers out there.
Progressive is really good so you should have no issue, this no fault rule is bogus, he clearly went into the back of you.
Fingers crossed that the doctors says your ok, pots pics once you get your new 2013

The accident was around 8PMish (at least that's about when I took the photos) and it happened here: 39.043266,-84.613075. Received your PM. Thanx!

:gaah:Scary pictures..............happy to hear that you apparently came through it without any issue to yourself. Hope they "total out" the RT because it probably would never be totally back to the way it was before the accident. Keep us posted!

First and foremost, praise the Lord that you're here and able to write about it, and that for the most part you're okay. I have to admit that the pics gave me a flashback and sent chills.
The person that hit me had Progressive, as did I, and they, Progressive were quite good to me on my spyder. It was totalled. I'd sure try to shoot for that. Especially with the reduced prices that are out there right now. You may wind up ahead of the game.
Again, I'm glad that you're okay. Time to get back on one and ride again.

Insurance guy here...
Godd job getting some pictures of this whole mess! :thumbup:
You've been running on adrenaline; once that wears off you'll start to feel the effects of what must have been quite a whiplash to your spine... Take it easy, and go heavy on the painkillers...
Fellow Spyder Accident Participant here...
I hope that everybody noticed that the bike was upright and he stayed on it... Just a little more proof that these trypods play better under less than ideal circumstances than our two-wheeled friends do!
Now get your self healed and the tackle the insurance issues... Good Luck to you in both regards! :2thumbs:

Wow scary stuff.The main thing is you are ok.The bike can be replaced.3 wheels certainly seems to have saved the day.I hate to think of the outcome if you had been on 2 wheels.

Wow that is ugly:yikes:
This brings back bad memories. I was rear ended in 1982 on the freeway at the same speed on my XL500 but didn't fair as well. I'm glad you're okay but take it from me, make sure you get checked out including back X-ray's. I didn't and wound up with back issues from that wreck that I didn't know I had till a couple of years later.

Glad your OK, that looks really bad. Interesting how the front bumper of the taxi went over the rear tire and crushed all of the rear bags, almost like a crumple zone, wonder if this took most of the kinetic energy rather than having that energy go more through the rear tire and frame. Definitely a scary picture.

First of all Praise the Lord you are OK and from one RC to another, thank you for your service with PGR. They always put us trikesters in the back even if we weren't assigned to sweeps. I just hope you had no passenger. My wife would freak out, like, forever after something like this. I was wondering if the backrest for the rider would help or not in accidents like this, considering the force was enough to knock of your mirror (unless the dealer didn't put it on right at setup...mine didn't), would it increase the severity of whiplash?

Glad to see you are ok!
ray: Thanks for the pics and good luck with the insurance!:thumbup:
Like most everyone has posted, make sure you get yourself checked out, especially your back. I was in an accident years ago in which I was t-boned. Although both of us drivers came out ok, days later I had neck pain and the other driver had broken bones on his feet which he didn't feel the pain at first, only saw brusing. I ended up going to PT for my neck and the other driver wore a foot cast for months.

Wow! Scary looking scene. I'm certainly glad you are OK, and glad you were on a Spyder. Very disturbing that the cab driver's word would be taken for 60 mph when the evidence indicates otherwise. I'm surprised at the lack of a citation. Michigan is a no-fault state, but citations are still issued.

Can't believe you didn't go flying off your RT with that kind of hit. :shocked: Praise God you're OK and that your wife wasn't on back. Couldn't imagine how bad it might have been. Thanks for your PGR service - I sure admire the dedication of all the riders I know in that group.
