Dan glad you're ok Bro. spyder can be replaced.
I went down on my two wheeler on June 7th, was in the hospital for 2 weeks just got home this past Friday. Now comes the hard part trying to recover and get my strength back very hard when you live alone as I am in a wheelchair for a few weeks more. Riding season is over for me.

Just wanted to chime in and say that I am so glad you were able to handle the situation and stay safe. I had a similar experience with the heat. Rode all day Saturday with another couple, about 5-6 hours into it, I was not holding up well. Started getting sick, made several stops to wet my hair, etc. Unfortunately, the couple with us had no riding experience so I could not pass over the Spyder to one of them. Made it home fine, but I also experienced the chills and sweats all at the same time. Lucky for me,no rode cones Even today, I am not 100%, so please pay attention to your health, it will not take much to put you back into a bad heat situation again. You need time to recover.

Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

I'm really glad you were on three wheels. I don't think a two wheeler would have stayed up after hitting concrete. It's bad enough to be hit by something, it would have been much worse to go down because of it.
So sorry for what happened, I hope it all works out ok. Did the truck ever stop or even realize what it did to you?

It's good to hear that you had something left in the "good luck well". I hope you and Len only find minor damage to your ride.

Sorry to hear the frame is bent but from your earlier bike description, I thought it might be. Good luck on choosing your new spyder. Please be sure to post pics. Dale

Glad you didn't end up in the hospital,
Sad your frame was bent,
Glad you were in Cowtown territory,
Sad it wasn't open on Monday,
Glad Len is such a good man and treating you right!

You've got something bent; what's bent has been fatigued and get let go on a moment's notice! 
On a serious note, what other dealer would do this on their day off....
Having gone though a frame replacement; I don't suggest it to the faint of heart!
