Accident

Sorry to hear about your accident. Make sure that the frame is not damaged. About the ability to quickly swerve on a Spyder, your front shocks must be set at the stiffer position and/or upgrade your sway bar.

That's not really fair...you could have the best equipment on the planet and the fastest reflexes and it won't make a difference sometimes...

:agree:but is going to help most of the times.

I know it won't help in every scenario, but I certainly agree with Doc that it sure won't hurt either. nojoke That fact that you can get positive reaction from your input instead of that useless dive and roll is huge in an accute situation. Wouldn't have mine any other way.

I wish you a rapid recovery and hope your Spyder is repairable as well.

Well, with everything else being equal, better equipment will help maneuver the bike better...point taken...always best to never get into a crisis situation! :yikes:

99.99 percent of all accidents are preventable by both parties, driving safely, defensively and to road conditions are NUMBER 1. All drivers should have to re-test every so often and take defensive driving as well as accident avoidance. Just think what this would/could do with respect to injuries/deaths/insurance claims. JUST MY HMO

Sorry about your accident. Glad you are OK for the most part. Get healed up and get that Spyder back on the road.

It is a jungle out there on the roads. People are inconsiderate, some are crazy and others just plain stupid.

A couple of weeks ago on US131 while heading north to go snowmobiling, I get caught in the right lane behind a guy going way to slow. When I finally get in the passing lane to go around (and that's hard to do pulling a trailer when it's bumper to bumper) and get up beside him, my daughter looks down at him and he's texting. Unbelievable, that guy falls under the just plain stupid category.

In crash reconstruction circles, we don't call them accidents, we call them crashes...

This is due to exactly what you are saying...if it's preventable, is it really an accident?

Get well soon and good luck with the Spyder.
