Very sorry to hear this but please don't guess what happened or what part might have failed without the facts. Could have been a dog ran out in front of her and she swerved to miss it. None of us were there, none of us saw the bike so none of us should guess what happened till we know the facts.

I looks capitalized to me. It's the font that makes it look like a small j.Its odd the article mentions her last name 6 times and does not capitalize the last name.

She was not the friend of my friend.I have a friend and former coworker in Slidell. After I bought my Spyder last winter I included them in an email I sent out bragging about my new (to me) purchase. The wife responded that one of her friends bought one, last year I believe, and really loved it. I've emailed them to ask if by chance this is the lady who crashed. If it is, then she was not a new rider. I sure hope the DPS wasn't a factor in causing the crash.

Anything further on this. If so we would all like to know. Perhaps we could all learn something from this.

Jack,
See the first post at the top for the latest info I have found.

Really would like to know how a single Spyder goes off the right side of a left hand sweeper in the middle of a SCRC chapter ride. There has got to be more to this story. Some lessons to learn.

She was apparently on a chapter ride when the accident happene/QUOTE]
My heart goes out to both the family and to the people on the ride. We have lost too many friends on group rides over the years. Our "big one" in July '99 was on a H-D Chapter group ride on I-40W just outside of Asheville, NC. That's why my wife made me go to a trike. 95% of the time we ride solo now.
