I rarely ryde on the interstate but just for giggles I got onto I 64 heading to Williamsburg, speed limit 70, doing a bit more than that when something hit my knee. It wasn't uncomfortable but I couldn't figure out what it was at first. I couldn't think of anything that could have fallen off the Spyder and I didn't see anything fly at me from another vehicle. Then I looked down and saw that the cover was missing. I got off at the next exit, doubled back, became a pain in the arse to a bunch of traffic while looking for it so I thought it to be in my best interest and proceeded on my trip.
Went to the dealer to order a replacement, damn, tupperwear isn't cheap, $257....I check my oil leve after most rydes and had prior to this one. I also noticed that the cover came off and on much easier sinse the last oil change. Of course there is no need to bring this to the dealers attention because it could just be my imagination.
Bottom line, make sure the cover is on correctly.
