High Speed Crash on Hwy 87

[TexAmRider]

This happened Yesterday Near Brady Texas. Harley Vs Spyder



Not sure you can see these, may be too large. I have more pics to share. I'll try to get them on this evening. HD driver made a U-turn in front of me on the highway. Did all I could to miss him swerving to the left. Right front wheel took out his front tire and forks. Did a number on my front suspension. All walked away. I do have a broken arm, not sure exactly what hit me but guess it may have been force from handle bars on the impact.

I'll explain the loss of brakes after impact in a following e-mail, but the bike stayed straight line on all 3 wheels to a rolling stop about 150 yards from impact.

Let me guess, the Harley Guy didn't see you? Glad you walked away.

I'm glad that everyone walked away without major injuries. Good luck in your healing process.

 

[ARtraveler]

Keep us posted. Glad everyone walked away.

 

[Chupaca]

Yikes...!!!

so glad all walked away with minimal personal damage. You were very fortunate to be on a spyder and not a two wheeler as things would have been much worse for both....

 

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

Glad you weren't hurt any worse …… good luck with the ins. co. ….. Mike hyea:

I'm very glad everyone walked away. Were you riding with the guy on the H-D?

 

[Batmobil-F3]

You're lucky again. Get well soon. What happened to the HD Rider?

 

[UtahPete]

Impressive how well the Spyder survived the crash and protected you.

Hi TexAmRider, Glad you and other rider walked away, brings back memories of my accident last year with my 1st Spyder. Hope your arm has a quick recovery, I had a quick recovery with my broken arm and was out of hospital after a week. My thoughts are with you right now.

 

[SpyderAnn01]

Wow, you’re both lucky to have walked away.

Is that the one where you went flying over a roundabout?

 

[Saluda]

Great all could walk away, hope the arm heals quickly.

I see an irony in this: cagers are told to look out for motorcyclists, but no one tell motorcyclists to look out for Spyders.
Glad you injuries were no more serious.
