• 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.

    Anyone installed the Refined Cycle BPE2 brake pedal extension to reposition the pedal on an RT??

    Try a small block of wood on the inside of your foot plate. In situations where you require multiple brake applications, like in traffic or twisties it takes the stress off. Just rest your heel on it and it totally changes the angle. I have one mounted just with double sticky and it works fine...

    Random thought for the day

    First, make sure it is well documented. If possible, notarized. Because it will probably never happen again.

    Random thought for the day

    Pretty much my story. Had some fairly serious cuts and bruises. My mother just kept a supply of gauze, tape, and iodine. Lucky I never had a broken bone. I must bounce quite well. Never saw a hospital until I was 68. However, since...

    Has anybody fitted Dual 5” Screens Instead of Analog Gauges to their Spyder? Any advice, suggestions, or concerns?

    Sounds like an interesting project. Definitely different. I just have a voltmeter on the right and a clock I can actually see on the left.

    Interesting item in Loaner Waiver at the dealership

    Yeah, Peter, I know they are car tires. It just annoys me that they try to tap dance around their use of crappy tires because they have some sort of an agreement with Kenda. And to the extent of trying to discourage the use of good tires.

    To truly appreciate this you have to be an old timer that hearkens back to the days of the Brit bikes. Unfortunately, I do.
