• 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.

Well, it finally happened to me! Can't ryde any more; any ideas on what $ to sell or trade for like value?

Fell in the living room. DR says cracked hip = no repair. My 2015 Spyder gotta go. It's very nice, low miles. (This isn't me trying to sell it, yet!)
How about this crowd giving me an idea on what I could sell it for or trade for like value.
(I'm not against money, Just interested in what item of destruction you have) I'm 120 miles North of Las Vegas. Spyder can be ridden anywhere as it is all fresh.

Depending on how quickly you need to sell your Spyder. Check out the units on this Forum. Call your Dealer for a price. The Internet has been somewhat helpful for me.

Is the picture in your post your Spyder?
 
Say, don't give up on the hip, my wife had a spill with her sled two cracks on her pelvis, she was out for that season but was in the saddle next season, so don't throw the towel in yet!! But if you decide it's time, like Little Blue said call a dealer and ask them to look it up in the book for the value! I go online and look it up, but the dealer should help you out also! Good Luck, heal fast and get back out there!!! 🙃
 
What Mikey said! I had both legs broke and the left leg ripped out of the socket leaving several cracks at the hip. The femur was also broke in 3 places and had to have a pin through it from the hip to just above the knee. The doctors told me I would never walk again. It was painful, but I was up walking with a prosthetic leg about a year later and went back to work. Now I can't wear the prosthetic anymore because of bone growths. Right leg which was broke too has no cartilage left in the knee joint and too painful to walk more than 50 feet. I use a wheel chair most of the time now. Built a little trailer to haul the wheel chair behind my Spyder. I don't have much trouble getting on and off of the F3-S and ride it couple of times a week. You can do things the doctors tell you that you won't be able to do. Gotta ignore the pain and just put some effort into it. My wreck happened way back in 1981 and I am still riding. If you really want to ride, you will find a way.

Gwolf, I enthusiastically second Mikeys thanks to you for sharing.

poprivit, were I in your boots I'd get a second opinion.
 
I vote for the 'Super Glue'. Unfortunately my Doctor said that she would not do it.
I guessing that is because, ' Not enough profit' for doing it this way.

She has 3 daughters in college.

Different Strokes for Different Folks

Have a Happy Day (y) 😊
 
Awesome, l hope you can continue to ride after healing, there are lots of tough folks on here. I'm 73, can only see out of my right eye because of an eye stroke called crao, (central retna artery occlusion) try saying that fast, lol, my daughters thought I was nuts when I bought my first Spyder, a few days after the stroke. l'm on my 3rd Spyder now. l know my history of problems is nothing compared to what you're going through, but I hope you heal fast and continue to enjoy riding.🤞😊
 
I am still riding at 76 with two knee replacements, a pacemaker, a neck fusion, and a stent in my left carotid artery. My wife is still riding at 75 with two hips replacements. We are both on F3L's. Your riding is only limited by your desire to continue.
 
One Sunday morning in May of 2024 my left leg simply stopped working. X-rays and MRIs could not reveal the cause. The next 72 hours, I thought my life was over. The shock and discouragement of such an event is very real.

It turns out the cause was a nerve problem due to a spine dislocation caused by a series of 3 accidents over a span of about 2 years. Surgery last October corrected the nerve issue and in December I started working to recover the lost muscle mass and strength in my leg. In March I got back onto my 2-wheel Beemer and started riding again.

Don't lose hope.

BTW, I bought the Spyder to tide me over until I could get back on 2 wheels. But I like it so much I'm never going to let it go! It's my first choice for certain types of rides.
