How does your Spyder react to Road Hazards?

[LALoner]

Just curious, I'm sure that at some point people have hit tire remains or other hazards while riding.

Question; How did the bike react and did it in any way damage the bike?

I just hit a semi tire last Sept 2022, and here is the thread about it:

There was a thread here maybe a year ago where a Spyder hit tire remains and did a hell of a lot of damage to the bike. So try not to hit any if at all possible.

watch out for pot holes too. I hit one earlier this year. Ruined the right front tire. Had to get a tow and a new tire, along with a laser alignment. Otherwise bike unhurt.

My RT isn't fond of "road hazards" so I try to avoid them .... "How did the bike react", well that would depend on whatever the road hazard was and its size/depth .... In general, I'd rather be on a Spyder than any Two-wheeler..... Just slamming on the brakes of a Two-wheeler in the rain can get real exciting in a hurry; not so much on a Spyder.....

Much better than I do. I've got some scars on my GS from not being able to avoid a few of them.

Spyder did great ; damage discovered some time later: rear bearing

It is kind of a squishy bump for possums and a much harder bump for armadillos.

Squirrels go under without much of any notice.
