• 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.

    My first "Oh Crap" moment, got off cheap!

    Couple months ago, bought a 7900 mile "used" 2020RT LTD-C from a dealer. In conversation I must said something about getting a trickle charger pig tale. Next day when I picked her up, she was electrically dead. The tech that added the wire forgot and only finger tightened the battery bolts. 20...

    Cannot swing leg over Ryker with luggage on it - any solutions?

    on my 2020 RT LTD I sit down, scoot back to passenger (bitch) seat. then swing my Prosthetic Right leg over the handle bars to the right pedals. Then scoot forward to the driver's seat. Easy to high kick with a peg leg; can't do it with left "normal" leg.

    A good write up in Rider online Magazine

    Narrator seemed very whiny like a 10 yr old child when complaining. Yes, the Right dash font for various functions are too small to be read while driving...duh...you're suppose to set them up before driving or a long red light.

    Tired of the sissy wave by other riders

    I try to wave at all 2 & 3 wheelers, scooters. little kids on side walk, Guys mowing their yards, Cop cars,etc. Unless I'm in a sharp curve needing both hands. Many wave back (especially kids) and if they don't, that's their loss. Guess I'm friendly. Never seen this sissy wave before.
