Does anyone have more info on this accident?

Here is a link to the story:

I have not heard anything since that would indicate this was the result of a mechanical malfunction. On the surface, at least, it appears to be a tragic case of an inexperienced rider losing control of her machine in a curve. If anyone out there has more information, please chime in.

Here goes again with PS FUBARing

I just read on the "other" forum that there are a couple of dudes running into PS binding issue while doing 75 on interstate.

one said ..."Has anyone experience any "binding" feel in the steering? I was going oh... 75MPH and it did this to me 3 times on on the same ride... It felt like the steering was locked and the Spyder started to drift left and when I tried a subtle correction... the steering was HARD and then it finally gave in and of course my excess pressure to turn caused it to jolt right at 75MPH... Friggen scary."

the other said ... "The exact same thing happened to me while I was cruising down the interstate. I went to merge right on a off ramp to a rest area, I put a little pressure on the bars to turn right and nothing happened. I put more pressure on the bar and then it snapped to the right. I just barely made the off ramp. I must say that it totally unnerved me for while."

I think you can easily over correct and die in a crash with this type of PS problem. This is way messed up.

That's some scary stuff. Glad to hear you made it through somewhat OK.

I know that machines are imperfect by definition but BRP needs to get this addressed pronto. First and foremost for safety reasons. Also, stories like this and others reporting the same problem will/have caused potential buyers to reconsider their upcoming purchases.

Not to mention the inevitable :cus: lawsuits...
