• 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.

    IS A 130 MPH MOTORCYCLE CRASH - survivable ????

    I've not seen anything about the procedure/requirements for being declared "fit". I watched a short video of his interview on MotoGP.com and I did hear him state that he did have to do 40 pushups....but of course I'm sure there was much more to it than just that. I would suspect they would be...

    IS A 130 MPH MOTORCYCLE CRASH - survivable ????

    There are a lot of folks that think the guys that race at Isle of Mann is totally insane. I enjoy watching it, but honestly, you couldn't pay me enough money to race there. Even some of the MotoGP guys thinks they are nuts.

    IS A 130 MPH MOTORCYCLE CRASH - survivable ????

    It's been at least 8 - 9 years ago at Daytona, the motorcycle guys were there doing testing in the days before race season started and I forget who it was, but he came off the bike because of a rear tire failure at approx. 180 mph and walked away from it.....with just some bruising and of course...

    IS A 130 MPH MOTORCYCLE CRASH - survivable ????

    As was pointed out earlier....he was not at 130 mph, it was 130 or so kph....or roughly 80 mph. The high side was a result of him getting the rear tire on the rumble strip/curbing, causing the rear tire to be slightly bouncing up and down a bit. As he was exiting the corner off the apex, the...

    Live RADAR on Spyder

    I have a Garmin Zumo XT on the bike and it has a weather app on it. You need to have the Garmin Drive app on you phone, and the phone paired to the XT and you can then get weather Radar....or just the forecast if that's all you need.

    Interesting Article about Cornering....Basic Stuff, but Good Info...

    I understand that the article is about two wheels, but the very same concept can and should be applied to three wheels....a.k.a. the Spyders. Granted, on a Spyder you don't have as much room for moving around the "lane" as a two wheeler, but the concept is exactly the same results....you are...

    Understeering in curves

    Ron, lots of truth in that bit of info. When Peggy and I were instructing/coaching with STT, we always talked about "Target Fixation" in the classroom sessions in the Novice group. Lot's of folks think that Target Fixation is just a bad thing, but if you dissect it into "pieces", it can become...
