• 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.

    Hand Brake Poll

    second nature +It could be second nature for a motorcyclist transitioning to and fro two and three wheels, but BRP spewed forth that "this isn't a motorcycle". Wrong. I can't imagine that every rider is covering the single foot brake, so a hand brake should be incorporated. Ride on. Roadkill

    Lesson learned, beware!

    +I'd add it before they ticket you, and also to draw the eye to what you've done. It's a great idea. Keep in mind, though, that that divot in the underbelly is there for a reason. You may scrape your plate and/or plate frame when you bottom out, so it's best to be as flat (or even better...

    Spyder Brakes. Did anyone try to change HB brake calipers or pads to anything else?
