• 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.

    Santa May Be Watching...

    I remember when I was a young lieutenant in the USMC in Hawaii (FICPAC, Fleet Intelligence Center Pacific) in the 70s, I was unmarried and so got the Christmas Eve duty. We used to get messages tracking Santa and made log book entries about it. Fun stuff. I wonder if they still do that?

    Fresh Cab Rodent Repellent

    Got cats? I found a mouse nest under my seat a few days ago, even with mothballs in small bags around the Spyder (it's outside in a Bike Barn).:banghead: They were using fur from my sheepskin/gel seat pad for nesting material, and there were a couple of half-eaten acorns under the seat, too. I...

    Another battery tender question

    Got it! Thanks, everybody, for the help! I love this place!:bowdown: I got a new Deltran BT+ (decided to go whole hog), and it seems to have solved the problem. Strangely enough, the instruction sheet was word for word the same as the Harley one, so maybe Deltran makes that one, too. Anyway...

    Another battery tender question

    I don't think so. . . . I don't see how. I just plugged all the connectors into each other, and they're the standard connectors with one socket and one exposed plug so they can only be connected one way. I'm going to Walmart today to see if I can pick up a Deltran BT or BT Jr. I'll let you...

    Another battery tender question

    Sorry, but I don't understand your first sentence. Can you dumb it down? I did try it without the extension cord (see my original post), and the indicator light still flashed amber, just like it does with the extension cord or with nothing attached to the tender. I checked the connections...

    Another battery tender question

    I was reading the recent battery tender threads, and I decided to try the 12V adaptor mentioned by several people. It arrived today, and I tried hooking it up, but without success. The adaptor is by Deltran, and I also have a 25-foot extension cord for the tender, also by Deltran (it fits...

    military salute

    USMC 1976-1996. We were taught to salute with the longest finger just touching the end of the eyebrow, fingers together and straight with the hand, thumb at the side and touching. You were uncovered indoors (unless armed) and did not salute uncovered. I assume it hasn't changed. That's the Sea...

    Seat latch "stuck"

    This happened to me awhile ago, and I did a search here to look for help. I found an old thread called "What if seat doesn't release to open and fuel" that had a bunch of information, including how to rig a bent coat hanger or other wire to get at the latch easily, which I now have in my trunk.

    Strange startup behavior

    Thanks! I suspected it was the battery. I'm going to have the pigtails for the battery tender attached when I have the new battery put in, so hopefully that will fix it.:pray:

    Strange startup behavior

    Every once in awhile, after I hit the mode button as usual and then start my 2012 RTS SE5, the screen will flash and go back to the beginning, i.e., it tells me to press the mode button. The engine stays on, and after I hit the mode button again, it goes to the regular screen and everything...

    Shingles

    Does the shot prevent shingles? As I understand it, the vaccination makes it less likely you'll get shingles (I forget the percentage) and then if you DO get it, it's less severe and of shorter duration. I THINK Medicare covers it, and the usual big pharmacy chains give it, but I can't swear...

    do we have any members in the Milwaukee, and Louisiana areas

    "Abolitionists" Abolish prisons? So what do they suggest doing with the criminals? Oh, wait, racist me, I forgot. There are no criminals, only po' victims of the mean old system. We'll just hug the murderers and rapists, etc. After all, it's the crime victims' fault for owning something worth...

    Antenna Broke Off

    Walmart Mine broke off at the same place a few days ago (2012 RTS). I bought a Scosche RMA900 replacement shorty antenna at Walmart ($8.95), unscrewed the old base, screwed in the adaptor and the new antenna, and it's perfect. I put the rubber sleeve (I assume that's what you meant by "plug")...
