• 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.

    White knuckle test ride - can I learn to like this? Buy newish or older/cheaper?

    If you ride less than a thousand miles a year you will never learn the quirks of a Ryker or a Spyder. So, don't get frustrated with "buyers remorse" by purchasing a machine that you will never understand. Your wife sounds like she is ready for more adventures and is open to learning the...

    Where did all the Ride Reports go?

    I'm an old fart and am lost with some of the changes to the site. Am I alone in having problems in searching for answers? In the old days, I scanned down the list of available forums and selected what I wanted. As an example . . . I love ride reports. So, how do I find and read old ride reports?

    My 2022 Ryker keys are interchangeable...

    Thank you for the magnet trick information. I just purchased a 2022 Rally, and it starts with a magnet. Scary! I've added a disc brake lock to my list of must-carry items.

    2022 Ryker Rally rear seat stuck - any suggestions?

    The seat is off! A layer of dried mud and sand glued the seat and the mount together. I broke the seal with a rubber mallet . . . not tapping . . . that didn't do anything . . . but bashing on the rear of the hand grips and the backrest pivot got it to move. Had to drive it off - a smidgen at...

    2022 Ryker Rally rear seat stuck - any suggestions?

    I just purchased a 2022 Rally. I can't get the rear seat off. I've looked at every YouTube video on" How to Remove the Seat" (Raise button, slide seat forward). 1. The release button is up. Nothing protrudes from the bottom of the seat. 2.There are no screws or bolts showing on the underside of...

    VSS triggers at start if I forget to shift to neutral before shutting down - normal?

    My 2022 S2S always showed VSS on start. Replaced the battery and VSS vanished. I shut down with bike in first gear. No problem.

    Where did you ride?

    My dad introduced me to riding in a 1937 Harley's sidecar when I was two weeks old. I've ridden bikes for the following 85 years. When I'm not riding, I love to read about other rider's adventures. Itchy Boots leads the list. There are a lot of reports here, but very few posted lately. With the...
