• 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.

    F3 Limited SS Cons

    Agree, cannot understand why they put a $50 made in Mexico rear shock on an f3s. BMW, Ducati, mv and a few others can put full electronically controlled suspension set ups ie sport, criuise..... Instead of paying $1500 US ($2,000 Australian) to get better BRP fox shocks front and rear with...
