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.
RT windshield air flow over top give a cold neck.

The RT punches a huge hole in the air. The air that is deflected is pulled into the suction created, making an air flow from the back, much like what makes the back doors of a semi trailer dirty. Nature of the beast with most large windshields or fairings, I'm afraid. It might be possible to eliminate some of it with aerodynamic adjustments, but I doubt you could do more than reduce it a little.

I agree with Scotty. I believe this is also the reason why I smell exhaust from time to time. I believe what I am smelling is the RT's own exhaust. It might help if there was a vent in the windshield, but don't know. Just speculating...
As for the question of being loopy... :dontknow:

We have the same issue with cold wind coming up inside my helmet...
it feels great in 70 degree temp, but it's down right cold at 44 !!!!
I'll be interested to see if someone comes up with some.... (rear spoiler??)
But until then i'm wearing a turtleneck, scarf AND a balaclava...

I'd be surprised if a vented windshield helped. First, those I have owned have been pretty useless. Second, the Spyder RT windshield is spaced away from the body enough to allow some venting, especially when raised. Finally, the windshield is still quite far away, and the Spyder is very long. Even the most aerodynamic windshields can only punch a hole in the air for so long. Somewhere behind, it curls back in to fill the vacuum, becomes turbulent, and often reverses direction to hit the back of the vehicle. A motorcycle is too dirty aerodynamically to do much about air turbulence, and still maintain a decent looking and practical design.

Yeah, I've had the same problem. Using a neck warmer as has already been suggested solved it for me, but now that warmer riding weather is here has eliminated the need.

Neck warmer
I Like that neck warmer.
When it is cold, I break out the Under Armor Long neck, with long sleeve the long neck part fits under my helmet.
It is Breathable, wear it under your clothes keeps you nice and warm
Under Armor works great, they have shirts, pants, socks and are all made for cold weather, they are warm but not too warm
