• 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.

    Anybody use seat beads

    I also use the beads when my butt starts to get sore on a long trip, or when it gets hot in the summer. They are definitely more comfortable than they look. johnv

    Shift Points on the 1330 cc engine

    Mine also likes to shift around 3500 for most normal riding, higher if I want to scoot. I also find that 6th gear does not like anything below 3000, I use 6th mainly for highway speeds. johnv
