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.

If the Spider had an Engine that gave the same 0 to 60, 0 to 100 performance as the Metro it would get better mileage then the Metro, but then who would buy one?:shocked:

Bill, I'm wondering what speed you normally ride. For 5 of the last 6 tanks of fuel I've run through my RT I've kept the cruise set around 65 to 67 MPH and my mileage has run from 30+ to 33+ mpg. The other tank I was in a little more of a hurry, had the cruise set about 72, and the mileage fell back to 28+. Also, as someone else mentioned, I'm wondering about the percentage of ethanol in gasoline in various states. I'm never sure exactly what the percentage is here in Texas, but 10% is allowed and I expect that most of our gasoline contains 10% ethanol. More ethanol definitely means lower mileage.

I have never put more than 4.5 gallons (17 liters) in my tank and that was after 165 miles riding two up. The red warning light was on the last 10 miles.
