• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Has anyone on the forums had their Spyder vandalized? I had my 2013 Limited seat sliced and paint keyed. Curious how the insurance company handles the damage, I have a $500 deductible.
 
SORRY

sorry 2 hear this man......
i've come out of gas stations to find people sitting on mine, but never did i have anything like this happen....
i'm sure your insurance company will cover this as they would any other vehicle.... watch your premiums sky-rocket however....

your biggest problem, is you live in TAXACHUSETTS.... i excaped back in 1990, and haven't looked back....

Sensless destruction of another's property with no pecuniary gain in mind (other than I guess the perpetrator's self satisfaction which isn't pecuniary) is a pet peeve of mine. The penalty should be cutting their hands off. (and yes I'm serious) See how many times others do it if that type of punishment were to be used.

I feel the same way. :bowdown:
 
I couldn't agree more, Taxachusetts for sure! I have a sister that moved to North Carolina 5 years ago, said it was the best decision she ever made.

The punishment should fit the crime! Unfortunately, they'll do it again to someone else, it's just wrong!

I thought that might be the case with my $500 deductible. Not sure how they'll handle the keying, touchup paint and buff or repaint. The seat replacement and install will just about be the price of the deductible.

What made this so much worse is that I've only had the bike for a month today! Hopefully Karma will kick in for this culprit!
 
Sad and pathetic

So sorry to hear that someone jealous of your love for fun needs to do such a senseless act. Hope you can get fixed at a reasonable cost. :banghead::banghead:

DITTO DITTO DITTO Chris.....................
too much 'hand slapping' these pigs.... it's time we get serious with this type of animal.....
 
Bummer..!!

Really sorry to hear about your misfortune. Have not heard of many such happenings. Hope you get her fixed up at a minemal cost to you.....:yikes:
 
Were you parked in an area with security cameras? Worth it to check their tapes.
As for the vandal, there is another part of their anatomy I'd be removing.

The inconvenience is bad enough, but what would anger me the most is the destruction of my own property. I am sorry to hear about this. Where was the Spyder parked if I may asked? Maybe a surveillance video can catch the perpetrator(?) if there was one...
 
The ins. co, should repair

to your satisfaction. Make sure the adjuster knows your wishes from the start, but do so in a "friendly" manner.
 
Sorry to hear about your misfortune with the sub-human. You will probably have to kick in the $500 deductible.

Also hoping that Karma takes care of the perpetrator--at least 100 time more than was inflicted on you.

I like the idea of checking security video if available and permissible. Depending on the total amount of damage--that is a possibility.

What plastic, and how many, were keyed? I would push to replace the plastic panels. Might even be cheaper than a high quality paint job. Although a good body shop may be able to buff out the scratches if they're not too deep. I had some saddlebag parts on my Goldwing buffed because of numerous scratches from dropping it in loose roadside chip rock gravel. I was quite surprised and pleased with how well they came out. But then it was a 2005 so a perfect finish was not the goal, just plenty good enough to keep a potential buyer happy! :yes:
 
If the scratches go beyond the paint at ll, and into the plastic; it's time for new parts! :gaah:
:lecturef_smilie: DO NOT; let them tell you otherwise!
You will always see and feel the underlying damage, in a paintjob over a scratched surface. :shocked:
 
I believe I still have my OEM seat off my 2011 RTS. I think its in a box in my garage.
Its yours if you like.

I'd like a little more information on where this attack took place. Was it at your home or in a public place? Time of day when it happened??

Sorry for your misfortune.

If you ever had a thought of a new seat consider the $500 deductible towards it.
sorry to hear.
